Every two years they set up a circus and fill it withclowns. With that fanfare, in the midst of the people and their destiny,representative democracy places the representatives, and the imaginarywill of the people is replaced by the State.When we are told that the State represents, defends and administers therights of the people, an image as diffuse as the people is being used tojustify the State. If the people are the part of society that does notenjoy the privileges of economic power or the authority of politicalpower, the State is a symbolic and legal structure that displaces thepeople from their own decisions.Since the dictatorship ended, 40 years ago, democracy makes fantasticself-promotion. Democrats talk about themselves as templars of law andfreedom, but the truth is that they are actually the protectors ofcapitalism and its inequality. This means, on the other hand, that thefigure of a capitalism without a State is a perverse fantasy thatassumes that the problem of contemporary society is the State and notcapitalism. It is necessary to insist that they are two sides of thesame coin, partners since birth entrenched in the plundering of others.Contemporary democracy is summarized in the famous phrase from article22 of the constitution: The people do not deliberate or govern, butthrough their representatives and authorities created by thisConstitution. The comma is eloquent: the people do not deliberate orgovern. The representatives will do it in their name, and in their namethey support an economic and social system that could never do what theysaid it would do.The Alfonsinista story failed. It is not eaten, cured or educated. Foodis the product whose price increases the most in inflationary timesbecause these prices are linked to the profitability, or evenspeculation, of the agricultural sector and intermediaries. The healthsystem is collapsed and in a clear crisis that has not only beenobserved for years, but has been announced for months by providers. Itis a system that validated the privatization of the sector with theexcuse of "hospitality", but that in fact defunded the public sector andforced the population to turn, in one way or another, to the privatesector. Currently, the private sector has also collapsed along withworking conditions, which are progressively deteriorating hand in handwith the general precariousness of the health system. And education,transformed into a bellows to contain the consequences of socialdecomposition, has lost any transformative desire and is stuck in theprecariousness of teaching workers and the ruinous infrastructure of thepublic sector.The three topics of Alfonsin's discourse show the structural inequalityof contemporary society. In the last 40 years, poverty has not stoppedgrowing and becoming structurally consolidated in an exclusive economy.The economy of Argentine democracy is so exclusive that there are twooverlapping societies: the informal economy is already formallyincorporated into popular life and separated from the other by the wallof employment.But, even so, wages have depreciated to the point that employment doesnot even guarantee the historical precariousness of workers' income andis sinking below the poverty line.In the midst of this panorama, democracy threatens dictatorship. If weare not obedient and gentle with the representatives of the people, weare complicit in the dictatorship. With this extortion, democracy usesthe dictatorship to vindicate itself and thereby attempts to block anyemancipatory transformation.Perhaps it will be necessary to warn the representatives that the peopledo not govern, but they do deliberate and sometimes get angry. The daythat anger is organized, the representatives of the people will become asad memory of the times when democracy boasted of interpreting thepopular will in the middle of a circus, every two years.https://organizacion-obrera.fora.com.ar/https://organizacion-obrera.fora.com.ar/2023/11/13/no-se-come-no-se-cura-no-se-educa/_________________________________________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
