(en) Brazil, Public Note of CAZP* about the latest events (pt)

We must recognize that we are living a historic moment nationwide and more than phenomena 
with similar characteristics have occurred in other parts of the world, absolutely no 
political organization or social movement might want to imagine something like that 2 
months ago. ---- Therefore, any organized group of left field was properly prepared to 
deal with this situation completely. We also put in this block. However, should we put 
anarchists organized from the perspective especifista (in our case composing the Brazilian 
Anarchist Coordination - CAB) always aim several errors that much of the left historically 
commits in his way of dealing with the organization of the struggle and popular 
participation in social movements. ---- It must be recognized that an authoritarian, 
centralized and often opportunistic to deal with the social struggles hardly gain space
with manifestations of this type that we have seen recently in Europe, the Arab world and 
even USA.

In fact, certain methodologies and ways of doing politics, which excludes, suffocates or 
controls the role of class, were and are functional for those who defend them, and 
accumulation can bring immediate results, but not exactly the buildup and the results In 
our view, it is necessary for emancipatory political project.
Nor have the magic formula, but it is not difficult to see that the great 
mass that took to the streets not experienced experiences struggles, whether at work, home 
or study, let alone be influenced by ideas typical of the left. If we add all the leftist 
militancy, even considering those who were "bag and baggage" into the state to help 
themselves to managers of social ills, even considering all this wide field, we are still 
the minority.
In a capitalist world where inequality and oppression are central and 
present in all walks of life, strength rooted ideological and able to point to more 
structural change does not happen by magic step, either by raising a flag and hoping that 
all are aligned ago .
No use solely classified as fascist and repudiate any and all repudiation 
of flags of political parties. Authoritarian practices of much of the left, the pernicious 
influence of the media who now call for a conservative anti-nationalist party (post as 
falsely selfless), law enforcement officers acting undercover and action of small groups 
of extreme right created the hostile climate and touched the feeling not only anti-party, 
but even contrary to the social movements organized or traditional (which is even more 
problematic, exposing that they are perceived as spaces for political careerism and not as 
instruments of organization and struggle of the social bases). So, unfortunately, we have 
cases of physical assault, which radically repudiate.
Therefore, the anti-party sentiment is not only creates a right coup. It 
takes humility and know that we can only reap what you sow. The dispute, including the 
state apparatuses through the executive and legislative elections, does not differentiate 
between anyone. It is processed in the minds of the majority of the population as an 
additional party to want to occupy political office for personal gain. Admittedly, the 
story only confirms.
We point to take or not flags of organizations, parties or movements is a 
tactical question. Varies with the form of manifestation and the environment. This 
sensitivity (and humility) missed many. There may be situations where we do not carry nor 
bring in others is important, but never use (or any other symbol) to misappropriate 
actions that are bigger than our organizations. The reason is simple: we must always give 
more visibility to the fight that gives meaning those people were there. This goes beyond 
the moment in which we live.
At the demonstration in Maceio on 20/06 to the Popular Resistance of 
Alagoas, social-political tendency which our membership is present, did not participate
block organized by political parties and trade unions. Nor felt the moral obligation to
participate, because we are not interested in being confused with practices which do not 
and always criticize. Clearly this does not mean we agree with attitudes of hostility to 
these organizations, as we have said, although we are also in some sense understandable
feeling, but also have said. We know, also, that while CAZP anarchist political 
organization is not also free from suffering various hostilities and aggressions.
As stated, the militancy of CAZP is part of the construction of the 
Popular Resistance in Alagoas, this being much larger than the anarchist militants who 
compose it, and what is more important, with independent deliberative spaces. We can not 
speak on behalf of the Popular Resistance, but we need to score some clarification. The
Popular Resistance in session, decided to act differently in the acts, among them the 
guidance to avoid any hostility to other groups or political parties. Any that were indeed 
different individual attitudes, although it should be noted that we were verbally attacked 
by militants from other organizations in other acts in recent days by choosing to maintain 
a posture that we believe to be the most certain and not hurt any previous agreement.
For the scenario that is mounted, but we understand that we need to take a 
left political and ideological struggle with the oppressed classes and their instruments 
(especially the mass media) over the course of these events, trying to become a force even 
more relevant Most not. We must stop the agendas and struggles that unite us much more 
than political propaganda of each group, for which we should be secondary. The unit is now 
in the fight, but not relinquish our principles.
Finally, we must say that without the groundwork and creating instruments 
based autonomous struggle, legitimized daily in popular protagonism, we have the same 
scenario on another occasion.
100% public transportation!
For agrarian reform and urban!
By the end of monopolies of the media!
Popular participation and protagonism!
Protest is not a crime!
