Once again this scenario is repeated where we find the streets full of
posters with political party propaganda, the media talking much of thetime about the elections, advertisements at all times in all media,speeches, debates of the candidates adapted to what the population wantsto hear, surveys trying to dig into people's opinions: a great movementorganized around a farce that forces us to choose who is going to governus, they call it democracy with shameless pride. ---- Who are you votingfor? So many reporters on the streets or some other acquaintances ask,as if choosing those who keep us limited would be to be free or the onlypossible option to change our reality. Many people go to vote out ofobligation and throw away their vote to whoever they like, others chooseto vote blank or null, but we are always conditioned by what the mediashows us about politicians and that the only way to change things is tochange government. They have kept us walking in circles like this for along time, but reality is plain to see when we find those poles full ofpropaganda along streets full of potholes or flooded, posters rudelyhung in neighborhoods with precarious houses,While they are in the campaign they promise and talk about improvements,once in office that ability to invent promises turns to inventingexcuses and blaming others, they assume by promising to solve theproblems that they themselves create, such as stopping inflation, whichwas for That is why they asked for a loan from the IMF, however pricescontinued to rise and debts accumulated. The government changed and thesame policies continued, they assumed they were going to take care ofthe most disadvantaged, and in the middle of the pandemic they turnedout to be more repressive than their supposed opponents, they asked usfor patience and talked to us about a crisis, but when election timescame, it appeared like an avalanche the electoral campaign, the same oldwords freedom, union, change, homeland, etc. And, as expected, theycontinued with the corruption, the accommodations in politicalpositions, negotiated that benefit businessmen maintained by the state,among many other things that happen before our eyes. It is common tohear the discontent and distrust of people in our work, familyenvironment; even in the streets. If we add the means that promoterivalry to the fans who support a political party as if it were a soccerteam, there comes a point where patience runs out and the situationbecomes indefensible, it is at that moment that new characters appearwith more speeches and promises of change, something already practicedin other regions and repeated over and over again... what remains out ofthe debate is the possibility of living organized without governments.If we took a moment to analyze the idea, it would not seem impossible tous, Although since we were children they impose authority figures on us,they get us used to having bosses and they instill in us that withoutauthority everything would be dangerous chaos, we can think and analyzethe issue, including in our discussions that possibility of organizingwithout governments or privileged people. Clearly those who haveaccumulated power and resources are not going to like losing theirprivileges, but they are a low percentage of the population, who in asociety organized in a fair and equal manner will not suffer the hungeror humiliation that many must endure, They would only leave what theywill never spend or use, they would only have to resign themselves tonot having that power to humiliate and take over other people's lives.We can think and analyze the issue, including in our discussions thatpossibility of organizing without governments or privileged people.Clearly those who have accumulated power and resources will not like tolose their privileges, but they are a low percentage of the population,who in a society organized in a fair and equal manner will not sufferthe hunger or humiliation that many must endure, They would only leavewhat they will never spend or use, they would only have to resignthemselves to not having that power to humiliate and take over otherpeople's lives.

If we want to put an end to politicians andall the problems they generate for us, we must get out of their rulesand fight from the outside, take away that power that we give themthrough the vote to make decisions for us, and we must do this withhorizontal organizations without leaders. nor bosses, not voting forsupposed genius saviors or asking a favor from the unionists who havebetrayed us and today are part of the political power in exchange for aportion of their luxuries. Let's not repeat history where we alwayslose, let's seek to change things from our environment, organized withthe people we are close to and with a clear common objective.https://organizacion-obrera.fora.com.ar/2023/09/04/a-quien-vas-a-votar/_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
