Today, different anarchist groups, collectives and organizations, publicly
manifest ourselves against the tax reform's hikes on essential subsistence goods.But not only because we consider the reform as an organized robbery to thepockets of the working class, peasants, service workers, self-employed andfreelancers. But also, we make evident the failure that constitutes this Uribistgovernment of Iván Duque and the disaster that is the whole state apparatus ofthis country. Which has tried to hide with public works, laws, decrees, mediapropaganda and cheap nationalism, the organized robbery that it really is overthe totality of the people of this region of the continent.The taxes that Duque -falsely- talked about reducing, regardless of the presidentin office, were, are and will be the same a general theft from the people, sincethey have guaranteed, through the clientelist mafia, the access to power to nomore than 20 families throughout the country. 20 families who have corruptlyenriched themselves and continue to exercise power in the territories -manytimes- through the use of arms, whether legal or illegal. And also benefitingfrom legal and black market rents, -understood as- drug trafficking, smuggling,human trafficking, land fattening, dispossession of land from peasants andillegal mining.How can they expect the people to continue to believe in the state, if the samegovernment that controls it, acts systematically against them?The handling of the pandemic is disastrous, not only the duquismo made the covaxoption fall apart when it could have ensured the supply of vaccines for Colombia.But they also dare to do business with the health care of the people, at theexpense of the taxes that they steal from the workers. The pressure on healthworkers, the overexploitation they suffer day by day, is not exclusive. Theteachers have also been deeply affected, not to mention all the people, who withtheir sweat, tears and effort sustain a state that takes more than it reallygives back to them.The war, which is maintained in the territories, has been continued because ofpolitical decisions against the people. The same people who continue to pay itstoll in deaths, and continue to suffer the abuse of the state, the repression ofthe security forces that only serve to maintain the privileges of those whocontrol the political and/or economic power. From the unfulfilled promises thathave led to the beginning of a new cycle of violence, the betrayal of agreementsthat sowed hope in the population of Colombia . At the end, they decided toharvest a fire fueled with gasoline.For all this, and much more, is that we, the anarchists, express ourselves inresounding opposition to the simple actions, which is to make a parade along theSéptima Avenue. Instead, we call for an indefinite General Strike, that leads tomove the status quo for the benefit of the people: from its local oligarchs andbourgeois minorities, to the wide, long, broad and diverse peoples that make upthe majority of the population in of the population in the Colombian region.Recovering the municipal autonomies, the collectivization of the territory amongthose who inhabit it ancestrally or traditionally, and the ancestral ortraditional inhabitants (not among those who, by usurpation, dispossession anddisplacement, obtained it), exercising assembly, communalism and horizontality,all decisions collectively, an open, participatory, diverse and permanentassembly, rejecting any authority, caudillism, gamonalism, patronalism andpatriarchy. It is not necessary for the state controlled by the elite to decreethe AGRARIAN REFORM, its the communities, towns and municipalities themselves,who can do it without intermediaries, they only need to agree to an assembly andstart it.¡!!Abolish the relations of subordination to the narco-oligarchic state!!!!¡!!!End of passive activity, it is time to go out to the streets!!!¡!!!!Obstruct the exercise of repression!!!!!¡!!Build autonomous neighborhood and municipal assemblies!!!!Abolish the relations of male-dominated and patriarchal oppression: diverseparticipation and gender equality, agreements of renouncing the war, ¡¡¡¡unarmedcivil disobedience!!!!Avoid the tax reform, avoid pension reform, avoid labor reform.Abolish the state.¡!!Constitute the Assemblies!!!!Signed:Colectix Kaos Kreador Antifacista - Banderas Negras - ULET-AITULET is the a syndicalist collective locatied in Bogotá, who'reseeking to buildan open union with an anarchist base.
