(en) Brazil, Winning the increase in tariffs in the streets, to overcome the reformism in social movements by Coletivo Anarquista Luta de Classe - CALC (pt)

The population of at least 28 cities in Brazil took to the streets in recent weeks to 
fight the abuses of the ruling classes, which is expressed now in increases in the rate of 
public transport. This movement is the result of a dissatisfaction that has already been 
developed for a long time, generated by the way the state has been organizing and showing 
his true class character: it is with entrepreneurs and not xs trabalhadorxs. -- This 
dissatisfaction is not the result of an increase of $ 0.20, $ 0.30 or $ 0.35 worth of bus 
fare, but the accumulation of a series of attacks in the state of living conditions / the 
workers / as, such as poor access to health care, public transportation precarious (for
both users and working conditions for / to own / the staff / the transport - drivers and 
collectors / as), the media manipulates information for the benefit of the state and the 
ruling classes, criminalizing / the trabalhadoros / as, poverty and social movements.

That's why the people went to the street to show their dissatisfaction and respond to the 
violence of the state, which suffers daily in all areas of your life. It's also why this 
movement continues to grow and has a transformative potential because it is the 
accumulation of discontent history of the exploited classes that country.

Examples of struggle that we are observing in Brazil's largest cities, such as S?o Paulo, 
Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre, especially, is a fuel that moves us in this fight, 
because it shows that the people's struggle is not local or regional, not a single 
struggle of other social problems, but it is an expression of the crisis of this form of 
society in which we live, where small groups of individuals benefit from the exploitation 
and exclusion of the vast majority of the population.

Thus we see what is the immediate reaction of the ruling class to survey the people: send 
the police to legitimize repression with the discourse of "overkill" and "vandalism", thus 
attempting to criminalize the social movement against the rest of the working class. More 
than 300 protesters arrested in Sao Paulo are a clear example. But think of the violence 
of the state itself: workers / those that fail to use public transport for not having 
money to pay the high prices (it is estimated that 37 million workers fail to use public 
transport because I can not afford); subsidies transport companies, removed taxes that / 
the own / the workers / the pay; evictions to address the interests of real estate 
speculation, police violence, preventing us to speak, arresting and beating those who seek 
to strive for improvements in their precarious condition of life. You should understand
that by legitimizing discourse of pacifism, we are legitimizing discourse of the dominant 
classes, which require you to (state your faithful defender) the monopoly of violence. The 
state exists to protect the status quo, to maintain exploitation and domination of / the 
trabalhadoros / as. The Class Struggle is not peaceful.

The bourgeoisie will not cede the moral problem of thousands of people are protesting in 
the streets. She will give to receive damages from acts of movement. Therefore, the 
demonstrations need to cause some form of damage to the bourgeoisie that their demands are 
met by the State.

The fact that some political groups try to spot the real character of this popular 
movement calling it "violent" only expresses the fear of these on the transforming 
capacity of this movement. It is very clear that those who wish to participate in the 
existing order will criticize those who want to revolutionize it, because it presents a
danger to his goal of replacing the direction of the State.

Therefore, without fear of criticism from those who only wish to capitalize on this 
movement political force participation for this order, ie, part of bourgeois democracy,
this movement seeking supporters raise their campaigns, and even build as "saviors", which 
in turn your vote will offer worlds and backgrounds, and then betray the will of the 
people, we must follow, as well as in various capitals of Brazil, like Goi?nia and Porto 
Alegre, where the path of Direct Action is revoked increases. This is the way by which 
able to block the increase, as well as the way in which we dare to transform the 
foundations of society. The REVOKE BUZ?O INCREASE THE STRENGTH OF THE STREETS!
