WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE SPAIN - news journal UPDATE - (en) Spain, LISA, Regeneration: Libertarian socialist feminism against capitalist and patriarchal violence (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 Combative, class-based, anti-racist, trans-inclusive, socialist and

libertarian feminism takes to the streets this March 8 to fight against
two dangerous fronts, two pillars of this system that we must all tear
down. ---- On the one hand, the reactionary international that in the
Spanish state grows and hides under the interests of landowners and
capitalists, of exploiters and speculators, of the liberal and
conservative parties that represent their interests, of the media at
their service, of the churches that replicate and sanctify their hatred
and greed and of their "better educated children", who tell us that
there is already equality and that we should not go overboard in so many
claims if we do not want to awaken the beast.

On the other hand, there is neo-reformism and the conciliatory
progressivism of the pact and reform, which shamelessly enters mass
organizations to control and deactivate them, which hides under good
words the same policies, the same interests and the same attitudes. With
its media technicians, its spokesmen and its fanatics, who tell us to
leave everything in their hands, not to go overboard with so many
complaints if we do not want to awaken the beast.

While the homophobes, misogynists and transphobes of the right come out
to justify violence, to provoke it and to legitimize it; the forces of
neo-reformism limit themselves to promulgating laws that are
insufficient and incapable of generating real changes because they leave
the structures of this system intact.

While the "reactionary international" unleashes all its rage against the
rights of women, the LGTBIQ+ community, migrants and the most
precarious, promoting policies that increase repression and control by
externalizing borders and promoting a model similar to concentration
camps, such as the CIEs (Centres for the Internment of Foreigners) in
Spain; the progressive government and the institutional left assume
their policies.

Internment centres, tightening of repressive laws, attacks on anyone
willing to fight and more pressure on migrants while plunging large
sectors of society into the most absolute precariousness, following
their neoliberal programme and their desire to privatise everything.

While the right and the reactionary international deny the existence of
gender violence, progressivism does nothing to change the material
conditions that perpetuate it with policies that benefit employers and
maintain job insecurity and the housing crisis, especially affecting
women, racialized people and youth.

All this clearly exemplifies that there is no alternative for the
feminized, racialized and diverse working class within the margins of
this system. EU policies are in tune with the interests of big capital.
Imperialism, extractivism, plunder, violence, torture, disappearance and
death. Imperialist rearmament, Israel's genocide of the Palestinian
people and the continued theft in Latin America, Asia and Africa; the
continuous attacks against acquired rights and public services or the
very right to a job and decent housing are inexorably related to sexist,
racist and LGBTIphobic violence. They want to condemn us to a life of
misery and survival where fighting is ruled out.

To all this violence we add the 94 murders in 2024 and the constant
increase in reports of assault and rape. The increase in the wage gap,
the sexist and patriarchal judiciary and a repressive system that will
never serve the purposes and needs of women, LGTBIQ+ people and
migrants; because its function is to serve the defense of the status quo
and the interests of the exploiters.

We will not assume the position of the judge or the police either, our
position is radically anti-punitive because only structural changes can
modify this bleeding reality. Our anti-punitiveness means taking
seriously the responsibility of looking at ourselves and questioning
ourselves, of accompanying ourselves and of changing.

Neither the right and that gang of fascists are going to intimidate us,
nor are the progressives and reformists going to take away our value. We
only need ourselves, our class, our companions. Together, organized and
independent of the influence of bureaucrats and leaders who only seek
their own interests, we build an alternative to this system of
exploitation and domination. With the most disadvantaged, the migrants,
the racialized, the undervalued and the marginalized. Together we will
build the spaces of self-management and struggle that will allow us to
change this world from beginning to end before unbridled greed makes
this world uninhabitable. Only an internationalist, anti-capitalist and
anti-patriarchal militant practice can offer us the tools to change this
world to its foundations.
