Between the resistance, the long struggles of the people and the political
problem of "immediacy" ---- A few days before our plenary meeting as a political
organization and 19 years after the popular rebellion of December 19 and 20,
2001, we synthetically share some of our views and announce some of the steps to
take in view of the time that is underway . Thus, opening the invitation to
exchange to those who feel interested and willing, and to the organizations with
whom we build day by day. ---- The first thing to say is that we have given
ourselves the task of continuing and deepening a process of debates and
definitions as an organization for the coming months.
The debates we have faced advance on the deepening of the strategic debate for a
root social change, which allows us to rethink and enhance our political and
social intervention as a militancy organized by libertarian socialism. At the
same time, that it serves to revitalize the debates and actions on the problem of
unity and its effective power, which today we see constrained by conformity in
"struggles within the framework of what is possible" and the weakness of
"politics. delimitation ". Therefore, the need to put efforts in the construction
of Organs of Popular Power and leaving the self-construction of each
organization's identity, which appears as fundamental.

For this task we propose a deep reading of characterization of the current social
and political situation, in which, the restructuring and deepening of the
domination of patriarchal capitalism in the world and in our region, with the
constant and continuous fragmentation and weakening of the working-class tools
that are two sides of the coin.

A process accompanied, in addition, by the debate on a political organization of
the libertarian militancy for this time and the tasks that it demands of us. Some
of the tasks that we highlight include: better coordination for social and
political intervention; a greater scope in the communication of the ideas of
social anarchism that is organized in the concrete struggles of the people;
rearmament and preparation for self-care and self-defense; and frank debate with
other trends about the challenges we must face.

2020 has not been another year for our lives, nor is it easy to understand. It
surely marks a time of great transformations and challenges, which it would be
illusory to finish deciphering immediately. Beyond the fact that capitalism is
expressing itself as a world pandemic, and that much is wanted or has to be
explained for that, we are with the certainty that a series of political problems
of our own and others have been placed in front of our eyes, considering it's
time to face them.

"Immediacy" as a precarious form of consciousness

One of the perhaps greatest defects of our left in recent years is marked by the
inability to think beyond the immediate, of what we have in front of us. Alluding
to urgent problems, the need to think about a sustained political project of
emancipation is eternally postponed. Or, in an excuse for another route, it also
alludes to some fear due to some "intellectualist" derivation that distances us
from our base militancy and the people.

This immediate frenzy that jumps relentlessly from one conflict to another
without any projection and unable to think its way, is the product of alienated
thought. From the perception of the world guided by mere will and lacking in
structures.

Immediacy is also the brother of the culture of misery, that which despises
anything that it considers luxurious or that does not have a utilitarian purpose
for social change. Also, seeing the world as a product of found and disagreeable
wills is a breeding ground for the so-called "culture of endurance" whose
patriarchal character has already been discovered.

Immediate militancy shies away from dialectical thinking - one of the highest
points of human development - and has as a great consequence fragmentation,
disorganization and loss of power; By not being able to establish tactical and
strategic objectives, by being unable to see the structures that govern societies
and individuals, it can only offer a constant state of mental agitation and play
deeply in each conflict that participates without being able to evaluate its
presence in it.

To move from this precarious type of thinking, the capacity for abstraction is
necessary, the human capacity most denied to the working class by the bourgeoisie
and the State through different devices. The capacity for abstraction is the
action of thinking beyond the concrete and being able to project. They are the
plans of a house when it does not yet exist, it is the sketch before painting.
Without the capacity for abstraction there is no possibility of critical thinking
since it works through concepts, while alienated thinking works through images;
generally the ones we have closest to.

One of the tasks we have as a political organization is to promote dialectical
thought (therefore creative) from and within the class, so it is obvious that the
State is not going to promote it. But it is also one of the most libertarian
tasks that we can propose ourselves, to account for the movements that arise in
societies, to be able to grasp the vital, to trace a path of struggle and to see
beyond what is given, beyond what is possible.

We follow in the footsteps of the social anarchism that is being organized, as
well as the constructions of the historical mass movements that knew how to live
up to what life demands. This is how they earned 8 hours of work, and they fought
against fascism. This is how we demand that everyone leave that December 2001.
This is how we will get the right to abortion.

Shortly we will share some ideas that serve an effective balance of these last
two decades, about the political theses and the constructions of what we know as
the left for popular power. With which we aspire to be able to meet those who
still feel committed to that task.

Our internationalist embrace goes to the sister organizations of the region and
the world, to all comrades libertarians and other political and revolutionary
tendencies in Argentina, with whom we share dozens of battles, and to all workers
who fight for a new world.

It is time to recover the tools and methods that were born from within the
working class itself and that pushed the best times of combat and conquests. It
is time to recover the horizon of the struggle for libertarian socialism.

Writing letters to detainees is a very important part of prisoner support. It is
a way of showing our solidarity, and it is important to build a strong movement
where we look after one another. Yes, don't ever leave a friend in prison when he
doesn't mention your name to the police. ---- When you're writing for the first
time, put it simply - you don't want to overwhelm your friends. You might be able
to send the first card, with a greeting and a little introduction about who you
are, what you like, what you do. If relevant, add that you are from the same
group. ---- Some people think it's better to be honest about your political
ideology, to give prisoners the choice to keep in touch with you or not. Others
consider it unnecessary to write down your political ideology, to keep yourself
safe. You can consider it, but don't leave any friends. You can tell where you
heard about them.

If you write to a prisoner who is being framed, and you believe that they are
innocent, then writing a letter to him or her will help that person to know that
you trust them. If your friend is arrested for clear political accusations, you
should let them know that you support their actions but don't treat them as
martyrs for the consequences of their actions, obviously we are not policemen
against our own friends.

Remember: prison guards will definitely open a post before meeting a prisoner and
will theoretically at least read everything that is written, so don't send
anything that could put a prisoner or anyone in trouble; If you weren't going to
say it straight in the cop's face then you didn't have to put that sensitive
thing in. If you have the opportunity and a safe alternative to handing out
letters, books, or anything else that can support a prisoner morally and
psychologically, then do so as safely as possible.

Someone recently sent a "now or never" related message! Features articles on how
to make daggers, brew hooch and make your own tattoo guns for people in various
prisons. As a result, these detainees were subjected to disciplinary action and
particularly bad news as they should soon be released as house arrest (HDC).
Political literature must explicitly be sent if the prisoner specifically
requests it. No matter what their political ideology is, they may not want it and
that could cause them problems.

If you think you can't send other things like books, zines, stamps or large
postal orders, but only offer support that you feel you can afford to be sure is
fine and avoid making promises you can't keep. If possible, find out something
about the first prisoners that will allow you to better relate to them; Are they
immigration prisoners? Are they fighting in prison for the rights of prisoners?
Were they arrested at any of the demonstrations? Were they arrested for sabotage
or direct action?

There are no rules for writing to prisoners, but here are some suggestions to say
if you feel stuck writing for the first time or writing a message.

Useful things to say:

Wish you the best / be careful / stay strong / we support you!

How can we best support you - can we post anything or publish your campaign?
(Although the solidarity campaign does not require permits).

There are many reasons why it might not be a good idea to try and define someone
else's prison experience (eg "prison is the best education", "you should..."). If
you are writing it yourself for the first time try to keep it simple: ask how you
can help, say that you support them.

Tell me where you heard about them and something about yourself (for example if
you were a student, bully, working).

Anti-feminism unites far-right currents, which share the idea that men and women
are inherently unequal. It is for them an integral part of their fight against a
multicultural, mixed society. Background analysis on masculinist strategies and
analyzes. ---- The far right combines reactionary, conspiratorial, confused,
masculinist, etc. thoughts. Historically, racist and xenophobic dynamics have
always worked hand in hand with misogynistic and more broadly, patriarchal
dynamics. Moreover, many speak of "genrist or racialist drifts" to qualify the
progressive currents. ---- Among the most conspiratorial whims is that of a
feminism which would seek to remove women from their maternal role in order to
bring down demography and allow immigration; aspect of what some call the great
replacement theory.

In the same vein, we find the opponents and opponentsof" gender theory". These
activists fantasize about a manipulation of the state and of the teaching staff,
by feminists, the "gay lobby" and the left, the aim of which would be through
school programs, to enforce or agitate children. Moreover, they refuse to speak
of gender, preferring to use the term sex, thus ignoring the research and
reflections that have been under way for more than half a century.

Their thought, homophobic and transphobic, was heard during the Manif pour tous,
soberly renamed Marchons Enfants. There is still the fear of a demographic
decline, this time linked to LGBTI people. The incels ("involuntary celibate")
are one of the most famous masculinist groups, alongside the MGTOW (Men Going
Their Own Way or men who have chosen to remain single). The incels, consider
themselves as nice guys ( nice guys ), wronged by women, although they are made
to satisfy men, who refuse them sexual relations and love. They feel they do not
have the place they deserve in what they call the " sex market".

Against a "gynocentric" society
Some therefore hope for a return to a society where women are forced into
heterosexual relationships without having the choice of their partner. Thus
attributing their frustrations to the fact that women have won too many rights
and freedoms.

The MGTOWs, for their part, took the red pill [1]of knowledge and succeeded in
getting out of the "lie" of a society they say gynocentric, made for women. For
this, they chose to no longer have a romantic relationship with women[2], and so,
in their terms, they leave the "plantation". This term plantation[3]refers to
slavery, because for them, the men who took the blue pill, are slaves of women.

This ideology is not limited to fantasies. Several harassment campaigns have
turned into a call for the murder and rape of their victim. Generally, these
harassment campaigns are directed against women who make feminist remarks, dare
to appear and speak out, but also against women who have left them during a
divorce, what they call a "Divorceviol"[4].

In France, on November 6, 2020, masculinists, notably affiliated with the
Jeuxvideo.com forum[5], decked out with explicitly Nazi pseudonyms, succeeded in
interrupting the online colloquium "Our struggles change the whole life: 50 years
of the MLF". These harassment strategies are also those of the Youtube video
maker Raptor Dissident and his followers. Raptor Dissident has explicit links
with the extreme right, since the latter is at the origin of Vengeance
Patriote[6], an extreme right group responsible for several attacks including
that of a journalist and a local association in Montpellier, Le Barricade.

Harassment, intimidation, violence and attacks
As for the rest of the extreme right currents, the passage to the act can go as
far as the terrorist attack. Thus, Marc Lépine, in 1989, murdered six students at
the École polytechnique de Montréal; in 2014, Elliot Rodger killed six people in
a Californian campus, Alek Minassian in 2018, massacred ten people and left about
fifteen injured. Elliot Rodger, the first to call himself incel and take action,
wrote on Youtube, "I don't know why you girls were never attracted to me, but I'm
going to punish you for all of this. "

The anti-feminist and the far right have explicit links. One thinks in particular
of the words of the neo-Nazi terrorist, Anders Breivik, who wrote: "sometimes you
have to kill women, even if they can be very attractive.". More recently among
the racist and sexist attacks, we can retain those of June 6 and 7, where the
masculinists and white supremacists, to destabilize the Black Lives Matters
movement, launched a false appeal which asked women to shave their heads to show
their support for the cause. Many photos of bald women had been shared without
the consent of their owners, many of whom had received chemotherapy.
#gobaldforBLM toured the world during the day with the stated principle of
shaving the heads of women deemed treacherous because they supported black
Americans. It is therefore not difficult to see the links between racism and sexism.

Faced with these attacks from groups that operate in networks between North
America and Europe, we must remain united and intersectional. And organize
internationally, to understand, deconstruct and better fight against these
nauseating ideas that aim to take away our freedoms.

[1]Red Pill and Blue Pill refer directly to the Matrix films , created by the
Wachowski sisters. Films that the authors have said were metaphors for the
journey of transidentity, something that MGTOWs also seem to ignore.

[2] For MGTOWs all relationships must be heterosexual. They do not hesitate to
use homophobic and transphobic terms such as "male vagina" to speak of
"devirilized, feminized" men.

[3]Awhole lexicon is also available where the group explains the terms of blue
and red pills, sex market, plantation, alpha fuck, divorceviol, females, NAWATS
(Not all women are the same , all women are not the same) to qualify women who
refuse feminist remarks. But also for men, levels of "liberation from serfdom"
which range from "trainer of women" to "monk" and "hermit".

[4] Reference to the fact that they must pay alimony for their own children,
which is the origin of the term "Karen", see Alternative libertaire, July 2020 .

[5] Jeuxvidéo.com is a forum known to be a place of recruitment of the extreme
right just like some Youtube channels

[6] This group, close to Marchons Enfants, notably brings together members of the
Rassemblement national, Action française and La Dissidence française.
