(en) Brazil, Aurora Obreira #27 - Thinking about the situation today (text republished other times) (pt)

(Text made and remade in the last 15 years of militancy as certain facts repeat and repeat 
and repeat and repeat)--- Imagine yourself in the following situation: --- You are in the 
middle of a busy street next to several people, many of which are known for a long time. 
You are side by side these people, shouting slogans against the government and the system, 
leaving the traffic stopped, making the very tense moment and noisy. Suddenly, the front 
forms a row of men helmet and therefore shields. Close avenue, profiled in order and 
silently watching you and all the others through the sunglasses. - Awaiting the signal 
from his superior officer, like well-trained dogs. The air feels tension, a moment of 
silence for both parties. A cop with megaphone calls the end of the demonstration and the 
patency of avenue, thus restoring "order" of the city system. A push, a person falls to 
the ground right next to you.

It is the sign, the police begin walking yet profiled, banging their batons on their 
shields in order to dispersal of the demonstration, protesters intimating including,
You. What to do?

Run, stay calm, be paralyzed with fear, face the
police, etc..

There are several options that should be taken into consideration and
few seconds to make a decision and act. This means not only preserve
their physical integrity, but also the group of people around you and
the very manifestation.

This text appears with the goal of discussing the need for
workout so that in situations of tension and imminent danger
coping, have at least one coherent action and answers
fast, many of which depend on the moral integrity, physical and policy
each individual and the collective.

The first point needed for each element and the group is to have clear
what you want and how it occurs. Individuals and groups prepared
theoretically means actions consistent and clear practical purposes,
if you know why fight, fight more and better.

Think the situation today is essentially to keep informed and
continuing education, forming a solid and well-grounded
on chosen subjects relevant. When more conscious
are the group and its individuals, the chances of manipulation
decrease proportionately and shows the quality of direct action and
because we make a difference.

By extrapolating the discussions developing them in the whole group and even
beyond it, generates an increase of internal links and external network
support. Break up the monopoly of party leaders and vanguards,
great manipulative movements, which uses them to his maneuvers
policies and reform strategies.

But this will not be done on the day of action!!! We must prepare the
best way to find and not be waiting for someone to say
what to do. Remember: actions and changes rely more heavily on
You.

Think of the situation today and develop questions and answers as:

a) What is happening to the region where I live and what relation it has
with the world?

b) Because the situation of millions of people are miserable?

c) What is my role in the region where I live and what my relationship with
others?

d) Where are the inequality and what can be done regardless of
be legal or not to reduce it?

e) The current economic and political model is the best way to conduct
society, there is another way?

f) We act consistently with our beliefs and know what they are?
This will be helpful in your consciousness and action as the benchmark because
fight, but not to "philosophize" at critical moments in them that action is
account and not atheism remote and abstract. No use expound a thesis
about oppression before police treinadxs precisely oppress
as are mandadxs. His attitude at that time should be fast,
firm seeking to maintain their integrity and dxs companheirxs
envolvidxs in the act.

This leads to another question: how is your health revolutionary?

Keep up with the fitness, having a power
healthy (we are not preaching that convert to a vegan life, it
would be asking too much and that choice is up to you and not an imposition,
but seriously consider declining in addictions such as alcohol, cigarettes
and drugs in general, and practice more sports and a balanced diet).
Know that the majority of the police, especially eltite, practice
sports regularly and train weekly as oppress and repress
to all that are sent. So it is in the military and this
means a contingent of nearly 2 million people trained to
repress, oppress and if necessary "neutralize" the enemy, or kill.
Do not think we're doing condoning violence, it is already done and is
reinforced by sensational news that preach law enforcement
tougher, stronger and more police violence against those who are
outside the system. And that ends up generating more violence and so on up the
escalation of fear, it is useful to keep the population hostage.
But in any case, we are pointing out the importance of resisting and
know how to fight, and in that sense, we produce some texts
enhancing the preparation for the fight. No use is an ideal well-structured
we do not have a base to keep it.

Contact to us arrange, through our contacts in the magazine or look for a
collective anarchist group closest, if not, the form Yours!

Health and wellness for the revolution!
