Brazil, Anarquista Gaucha - Issue No. 29 - Year IX - March 2014 - 50 Years of the coup: the crimes of the state follow effective (pt)

We live in an emblematic moment in our country, with the increase of political social 
activists and political organizations, surveys with absurd and unreasonable accusations 
and persecutions constant attack by the mainstream media to social struggles, distilling 
their class hatred, your lies and painting a reality existing only in their heads. The 
demonstrations are a constant target of "intelligence" officer who snoop, spy, classifies 
and identifies protesters they deem dangerous criminals, vandals, subversive. The demands 
of the low are ignored by governments and treated as a police matter. All this in a year 
that marks the 50th anniversary of the civil-military coup of 1964. There is a legacy of 
this period and the criminal and perverse nature of capitalist domination maintains its 
validity.

The anniversary of the coup in the current state nothing democratic right

We need to contextualize the situation in which we live from the mechanisms and legal and 
ideological devices left by the civil-military dictatorship. Mechanisms and updated by the 
devices and practices used by repressive governments shift to neutralize and suppress 
social struggles apparatuses. The coup d'?tat civil-military March 31, 1964 was a blow to 
the ruling class, responsible for the repression, for the kidnapping, torture, 
imprisonment and murder by not only militants but of all oppressed people. Indigenous 
peoples and Maroons were also targeted by the dictatorship, which removed many of broad 
social and political strata of the population while widely spread fear and conservative 
mentality that seems to be reatualizada in our era of democratic rule of law. If we can 
not say we're at the gates of a dictatorship or even a police state, yes we can say that 
there is a growing wave of repression, criminalization and restriction of political and 
social rights. The state continues committing crimes and it's no wonder that, according to 
UN data, the homicide rate in Brazil is 43 thousand per year.

World Cup General Law, Anti-Terrorism Act and the Ordinance of the Ministry of Defense 
"Guarantee Law and Order" are examples of how this government "progressive" Dilma / PT is 
conducting its policies and how is giving answers to the guidelines claim required in the 
days of struggle of 2013, returning to the scene with force early 2014. The demonstrations 
are treated as cases of police and classified between "good" and "bad" events. Women and 
men are arbitrarily arrested, beaten, humiliated and exposed by the bourgeois media. 
That's not to mention the daily violence suffered by men and women from the suburbs, who 
are kidnapped, murdered and treated like animals (like the case of the black worker who 
was dragged by a car in the AM Rio de Janeiro). Masks are prohibited, houses and public 
offices are raided, scarecrows are created, used for scapegoats absurd assemblies that are 
clearly aimed at pursuing political ideologies and militant organizations. Social 
movements are treated as likely to be fought by own military maneuvers and tactics of a 
war context "Opponents Forces" and. Want to end the right to strike and free expression 
during the World Cup.

This is an environment in which, as in civil-military dictatorship, state repressive 
apparatus and the mass media operate together as a shock element of the system of 
capitalist domination, chasing and riding factoids incessantly against social activists.

Did not begin in 2013, will not end in 2014

The days of struggle of 2013 opened up new possibilities in our country. Possibilities of 
gestation of a new period of clashes with new features, against the forces of order in 
peleia for better conditions of work and life. The experiences of direct action, of mass 
mobilization and strong repression experienced by large sections of the population left 
marks that we can see in all the struggles of the beginning of the year. The postal strike 
and road in Porto Alegre and struggles for water cutting and street barricades in the 
metropolitan area of RS, a strike by the workers and street sweepers Petrochemical Complex 
Itabora?, RJ; street mobilizations against the World Cup World and numerous other strikes 
that are triggered throughout Brazil demonstrate that the cycle of days open by 2013 
struggles are far from being closed.

If you do not see the same massiveness 2013, jumps out the combativeness of these 
struggles. Their characteristics indicate a greater radicalization and leadership bases, 
which in many cases has hit the pelegas union leaders and won victories. It is the fear 
that these struggles have continuity and deepen in their degree of organization and 
radicalization that above and their lackeys have trying at all costs to intimidate and 
finish the fight from below. The mainstream media want to forge consensus and pave the way 
for a fierce fusillade against repressive social activists.

In Rio Grande do Sul there is an intensive campaign against some social fighters Block 
Struggle for Public Transport and combative against the state teachers teaching. Clearly 
political and ideological police investigations has been constructed as a form of 
intimidation. Until " establishment of private militia " appears in the charges. Located 
in Santa Catarina the focus of police crackdown with arrests and human rights violations 
are held to keep the model of capitalist exploitation in public transportation. In 
addition to the arrests, criminal cases are sent to try to punish the people who organized 
struggle for zero tariffs and a public bus transportation company. In S?o Paulo we see the 
use of troops "ninja" and effective ever greater police - between troop ninja, shock, 
tactical force, cavalry, etc.. - With the clear intent to intimidate and restrict the 
right to demonstrate the / of the fighting, and in Rio de Janeiro, were the street 
cleaners who had to face a strong media campaign willing to delegitimize their historic 
strike, a stubborn conservative mayor not meet their demands and a military police who 
acted as the old "captains of the woods", the same police who murders hundreds of daily 
claudias and Amarildos.

In the wake of this major campaign, aiming to forge a consensus and impose an order marked 
by apathy of an obedient people against the excesses and abuses of the above, to ensure a 
"left" tamed the election schedule, to transform acts on mere civic protests with 
conservative purposes, we have dozens of cases of repression, abuse and 
political-ideological persecution around the country. This is an intense psychological 
warfare that these resources come untied against the left that resists social pact 
stitched by turn government in alliance with the ruling classes and bureaucracies of 
various social movements that increasingly are losing their force to assimilate mere NGOs

The death of cameraman Santiago Andrade in a tragic accident in Rio de Janeiro is the 
biggest example of how this psychological war being waged on a national scale. With it, 
try to justify the approval of the infamous anti-terrorism law to which they wish to 
prevent the popular sectors and the left overcome the tragic dispersion and 
disorganization that characterized the last years. When the real reason is the fear of the 
ruling class before a new cycle of struggles marked by another political culture that is 
not rooted in institutional illusions, but in the popular role in direct and grassroots 
work everyday action.

It is amid this climate of intense psychological warfare we see the current "progressive" 
governments rehearsing a one-two with the oligopolies of the press, the same that 
repeatedly accused him of sabotage them and create a coup environment. Whilst the 
mainstream press and denounces plant factoids, many state governments, with the approval 
of the Dilma government, do not hesitate to follow the tram and authorize search and 
seizure warrants, indictments frauds, infiltration, intimidation children, ninja troops 
and everything else that is necessary for their social pact neodesenvolvimentista and its 
celebration from mega-events like the World Cup and the Olympics. thus reveal what their 
real political and class character.

We have no doubts regarding our role as libertarian left revolutionary intent. It is up to 
us to defend the ongoing struggles and organization of the sectors that comprise the 
oppressed classes to gain the depth and intensity necessary for the advancement we prevent 
this state of repression and criminalization of social struggles. The unit of bass is not 
only desirable but extremely necessary in the circumstances in which we are living and the 
illusions fed by a left electioneering must be questioned, because our emergency room will 
not fit on the ballot of the above! If no rights to the people, will not be eating for the 
rich.

Our memory to be our fight yesterday to today! Dictatorship ever again!

Stop the criminalization of protest and social activists with the organization and 
strength of the streets!

Surrounding Solidarity to all (as) (as) fighting!
