Argentina, Assault and Threats against social activists of the FOB in Rosario, Santa Fe by Federation of Base (ca, pt)

On Sunday March 23 near 18hrs social activist of the Federation of Base (FOB) Iris 
Velasquez was attacked at the door of his home, when he discovers the complete 
intentionally burning his bike (see attached photo). Previously he had called to threaten 
and warn the fact. Minutes later the same people who had made that phone call made to 
partner Emilio Crisi to death threats and warn him that he would be the next victim. ---- 
In recent years we have seen bands narcos shot them 3 militant Movement June 26 at Villa 
Moreno, the Jere, Mono and Patom peers. Also we have had to endure the murder of Merecedes 
"Mecha" Delgado Barrio Ludue?a hands of mafia gangs in the area. Our organization is not 
and has not been exempt from the scope of the actions of these gangsters that all they 
have done for years is to squeeze every neighbor and shoot the kids who got into the 
offense as currency in the absence of future decent work, something that the state at 
different levels left to do and in some cases has been complicit as recently known. 
miserably again and we have to make public a series of events that attempt to threaten and 
undermine our will and militant spirit, who drives us to want to change the world and seek 
a society without oppressors or oppressed.

For several years now we have been receiving these gestures gangsters to stop doing social 
construction that we have been taking place here and elsewhere in the country. The aim is 
to intimidate and to abandon the places in each neighborhood where we have been carrying 
out numerous community activities, cooperative work projects, gardens, craft workshops, 
libertarian schoolhouses, women's spaces, among others. It is clear that this political 
persecution suffered these power sectors, largely organized by us be independently lung, 
from below and outside the State. Clearly the job training, social inclusion and 
transformative practice bothers them power sectors, both institutional as well as 
narco-mafia. In conclusion we have to tell society and the media not only for over 2 years 
we have been getting consistently phone calls with death threats, text messages and 
e-intimidating voice, but also the last Sunday March 23 -a day that our federation out 
into the streets to protest against the state terrorism of the dictatorship and impunity 
for past and present-the companion Iris Velasquez was attacked at the door of his home, 
when he completely burned the bike and he made ??a telephone to alert the fact more and 
threatening actions against the organization called. Minutes after the attack and called 
this mafia gang made ??a second call to partner Emilio Crisi to tell who was the next to 
receive an attack in the future.

Since our federation have decided to go out through direct action, the only way I have 
below to achieve what was decided in assemblies, in order to seek justice and class 
solidarity of other organizations to these facts. We know that the narco-mafia gangs are 
not alone, they are also shaped by the police force and are protected by judges, lawyers, 
prosecutors, politicians, businessmen and networks of collusion with the State that a 
while ago this party started to show in the media and public opinion. amedrentaremos us 
not by threats and attack, we will not stand idly by when we are experiencing inflation, 
unemployment, social injustice, criminalization of social protest ... and now bombings and 
political persecution by organized gangs that have among their enemies autonomous social 
movements.

Here we publish the call for an act in solidarity to social, political, trade union and 
human rights to protest the attack to be held in Plaza San Martin (Santa Fe and Dorrego) 
versus TUESDAY, 8 Governorate APRIL at 10 am. We call for solidarity and support for the 
elucidation of this fact social violence by sectors of power who do not want this new 
society we want and are building every day without oppressors or oppressed, without 
exploiters or exploited, without anyone to send or obey ultimately a free society. those 
who fight Arriba! Contact Press Emilio Crisi 341-155154070 What is FOB? As our acronym 
says is a Federation of unemployed neighbors who struggle from below, the Base. We seek a 
more just world where there are opportunities for everyone.

For this we organize pointers NI SIN heads OR DEPENDENCE any political party or any 
government. Our struggle is to achieve human dignity without anyone being privileged over 
the rest. Our struggle is not to send people to obey it and people who participate as 
equals. Our struggle is for freedom!

FOB Statement of Principles

The following principles that govern our daily lives, our membership and our operation as 
a social movement were approved at the Second Plenary of the FOB-May 2008 - and renewed in 
the III Plenary-December 2009 -. About our principles The Federation of Base comes in late 
2006 following a common practice we were developing various organizations. The short but 
rich experience of several years of struggle centered mainly in the suburbs of capital and 
large Bs As was our starting point of confluence which resulted in our first plenary at 
the villa lugano 20. Our struggles for health , housing, work, education, a decent sum for 
life confronts us with an unjust system where a minority concentrated wealth and power. 
That is the aim Social Change guiding our efforts from our everyday struggle, worthy men 
and women from our neighborhoods or workplaces. To transform the reality we think the 
organization has to be popular this happens where the struggle for life, in neighborhoods, 
at work, in schools and universities, in the streets or in prisons, organized from the 
base and from values . egalitarian and solidarity to achieve the social change that today 
we have to start building your own power of the popular classes and we agree to these 
principles:

Construction of Power Popular self-management that really calls into question the system 
that condemns the majority to live in inhuman conditions, deprived of all our rights, to 
health, to education, to work and decent housing, and also wants to deny us right to 
organize and fight. By popular self-management to understand it as the ability of the 
people, through their organizations, to solve problems based on their interests without 
delegated to anyone. From the present and as proposed for social change, always from 
below, never from above, beyond the governments.

Independence class as the only guarantee that the popular classes we manage to defend our 
interests, generating our own organizations.

Autonomy of our organizations on the state and its governments dye that is, NGOs, 
political parties, churches, businesses, unions and those who tell us what we need to do 
away with authoritarian structures of our reality.

Federalism. organized as a federation because we believe that the force that gives us 
unity comes from each of grassroots organizations and their development. Respect to 
general agreements as well as autonomy and characteristics of each organization allow us 
to build a common project.

Direct democracy as a way of making decisions in all organizational contexts to ensure the 
active participation of all colleagues.

Direct action . as a way to fight without intermediaries to meet our demands without 
waiting for solutions of the above
Self-management: as a form of free labor patterns and exploitation as an extended 
principle to all areas of the organization
Solidarity class: betting on the popular field unit in the fight against injustice.

. Gender Equality Under capitalism women suffer a double oppression, not only of the 
ruling classes but also suffers sexism, sexual exploitation, authoritarianism within the 
family, patriarchy. Our entire organization combat gender hierarchy because there is no 
real social change without a place of equality for women.

Organize the unorganized and unite the dispersed to reverse the dispersion and 
fragmentation seeking joint force class.

Ideological struggle. Often the ruling class does not need to resort to s prisons or 
repression to enforce their plans, with all appliances, media, education, spreading their 
ideas to confuse the masses and make us act according to their interests . The practice 
and dissemination of solidarity and egalitarian values, the exercise of other forms of 
organization, participation, consumption, finally, another way of seeing the world, are 
the way to contribute to the creation of a vision that expresses the interests our class.

Internationalism. Pointing to the alliance between the people and their organizations 
fight over internationalist, anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist perspective of social 
change bases.

Reconstruction of historical memory. remembering the historical struggles of the class and 
the fallen of our people. We are part of a historic struggle that we carry the popular classes

This is the way we decided to move and from which we will bring to the struggle for a more 
just society without exploiters or exploited, no oppressor and oppressed or in which we, 
as a people, masters of our own destiny.

Paradoxes of Utopia - Anarchist culture and politics in Buenos Aires 1890-1910 by Workers Solidarity - WSM


?We have taken a good path. As we see it, the formation of social study circles and the
establishment of libertarian schools are solid, protective bulwarks in our race toward
emancipation. They are the groundwork of the great revolution.? - La Protesta Humana,
January 7th, 1900 ---- When the Argentine economy collapsed in 2001, many were surprised
by the factory takeovers and neighbourhood assemblies that resulted. But workers' control
and direct democracy have long histories in Argentina, where from the late nineteenth
century and well into the twentieth, anarchism was the main revolutionary ideology of the
labour movement and other social struggles. Most histories of anarchism in Argentina tend
toward dry analyses of labour politics, lists of union acronyms, and the like. For Juan
Suriano, that's just one part of the story.

Paradoxes of Utopia gives us an engaging look at fin de si?cle Buenos Aires that brings to
life the vibrant culture behind one of the world's largest anarchist movements challenging
the myth that anarchist was merely a euro-centric movement: the radical schools,
newspapers, theatres, and social clubs that made revolution a way of life. Cultural
history in the best sense, Paradoxes of Utopia explores how a revolutionary ideology was
woven into the ordinary lives of tens of thousands of people, creating a complex tapestry
of symbols, rituals, and daily practices that supported-and indeed created the possibility
of-the Argentine labour movement. The author creates an innovative panorama that gives
equal weight to the strengths and weakness of anarchism in Argentina, effective strategies
and grave mistakes, internal debates and state repression, all contextualized within the
country's broader political, economic, and cultural history.

The history of anarchism in Argentina also has a local angle as Irish born Dr John Creaghe
also took part in the emerging movement returning to Argentina in 1894 to find anarchism
under the banner of FAO and later FORA (Argentine Regional Workers' Federation) gaining
enormous influence within the wider labour movement. Creaghe became editor of the daily
newspaper ?La Protesta? which was closed down on numerous occasions. Alan O?Toole notes
that, ?It was the major paper of revolution in Argentina until recent years? its
establishment and continuation was probably his greatest single contribution to the
politics of revolution.? (See)

This immersing of anarchist ideas and practices into the emerging labour movement resulted
in major state repression, including imprisonment, censorship and killings with the police
estimating that there were around 5,000-6,000 anarchist militants in Buenos Aires alone
during the first ten years of the century. Indeed the number of libertarian centres and
anarchist circles peaked to 51 by 1904 dropping to 22 by 1910, overwhelmingly concentrated
in working class neighbourhoods. For example in Rosario?s Casa del Pueblo, the centre was
a collaborative effort between ten different groups. The list of activities carried out in
1900 speaks for itself: they found employment for 446 people, a library holding 380 books
on science, art, sociology and literature; even a permanent orchestra and a theatre group,
sixty four lectures and lent the hall to workers? associations.

Conflicts occured constantly throughout the decade and the anarchists mobilised a large
percentage of the city's workers-port workers, cat drivers, coachmen, sailors, mechanics,
bricklayers etc. There were seven anarchist led general strikes including the renters
strike of 1907 on other demands for union recognition and improvement in labour
conditions. Libertarian centres, study circles, daily newspapers, to touching on all
aspects of life; to more recreational activites such as literacy readings, music and
libertarian dances provided the backbone this support. Thus the libertarian circle 'was an
environment in which workers' cultures emerged-through the exchange of individual
experiences, workers became collective and began to assume a shared identity.'(p19)

However, by 1910 the Argentine anarchist movement in terms of numbers and influence was in
steady decline mainly due to brutal state repression, but the growth of social welfare in
housing, education and work, voting rights and institutionalisation of labour disputes all
contributing with the author pointing out that ?there is no doubt that the tendency toward
self-marginalisation, combined with their reluctance to analyse or even note domestic
particularities, dramatically facilitated their separation from the workers?.

In a time whenever 'identity lifestylism' and 'escapism' dominates some sections of the
libertarian movement, this book is a welcome critical reflection, providing lessons for
our movement and a powerful account of how anarchists can built a strong social movement-
a glimpse of what is possible with political coherancy and strategic focus. There are no
short-cuts to social revolution and building a movement that is firmly entrenched and
located within the wider working class.

PRESS RELEASE

Discrimination of the Indian Government that we are the PJ

The government negotiated behind closed doors giving land to
Displaced families of the seizure of MAPIC

CHACO-MAPIC: PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT LAND BUSINESS party interests.
Chaco (FOB). -

The federation of BASE (FOB) Chaco, denounces the unjust, arbitrary and discriminatory
attitude by the provincial executive IDACH, closed the door to representatives of the
seizure of Mapic members of this organization to the scheduled hearing last Friday with
Capitanich at Government House.
This shows once again how little respect he has for the Indian community Mapic
neighborhood, as well as fascism that pervades this government using the state as a single
negotiating party organization and its neighborhood pointers, favoring family and friends
who do not even live in the neighborhood, leaving out the poorest families in the community.

The hearing had been achieved by the originating landless mobilization by a walk of 6
kilometers from the site of the eviction until the Government House on Tuesday.
Minutes before the hearing, the police stopped at the entrance to the representatives of
our organization alleging that it had permission to enter, by order of Idach. Tightening
the situation with neighbors who were evicted out hopeful to talk to the governor about
the desperate situation they are living.
During the meeting, pledged to boost Capitanich an expropriation law for the community to
obtain land. However, about 40 Indian families reported that shortly after the meeting,
members IDACh, the Ministry of Production and pointers Justicialist Party politicians
behind closed doors decided who would be the beneficiaries of the expropriation.

ENTER ONLY LEFT PJ Pointers
"They would not let us in the meeting, the government wanted to enter only those who were
with the leaders," said one of the neighbors. "In the end, shouting and struggling, could
only get a neighbor who is not with pointers, which is the FOB (Federation of
organizations), but threatened, assaulted her and not let her talk," he added.
"The secretary of the governor, Diego Bernachea, had undertaken to enter four delegates
leave the FOB, but did not keep his word," he said referring to the organization. "It
became clear that all equipment used by the State to negotiate with the needs of the
people and benefit their leaders", added to later state that are deliberating "with fellow
FOB nationally about the possibility of cuts Resistance and routing in Rosario, and a
mobilization to Chaco House in Buenos Aires, because we can not allow a small group to
take advantage of the struggle of all the neighbors in cahoots with provincial government
officials. "

-----------------------------------------

Statement of Principles of the FOB
==================================

The following principles that govern our daily lives, our membership and our functioning
as social movement were approved at the Second Plenary of the FOB-May 2008 -, and renewed
in the Plenary III-December 2009 -. About our principles Federation of Organizations Base
comes in late 2006 following a common practice that we were developing various
organizations. The short but rich experience of several years of struggle centered mainly
in the suburbs of capital and high Bs As was our starting point of a confluence which
resulted in our first plenary at the villa lugano 20. Our health struggles , housing,
work, education, in addition to a decent life confronts us with an unfair system where a
minority concentrated wealth and power. That's why Social Change order to guide our
efforts, from our daily struggle, worthy men and women, from our neighborhoods or
workplaces. To transform the reality we think the organization has to be popular this
happens where the struggle for life, in neighborhoods, at work, in schools and
universities, in the streets or in prisons, organized from the base and from values
egalitarian and solidaristic. To achieve social change that today we have to start
building a personal power of the masses and we agree these principles:

Construction of Power Popular selfmanaged really calls into question the system that
condemns the majority to live in inhuman conditions, deprived of our rights, to health, to
education, to work and housing, and also we want to deny right to organize and fight. When
we understand self-managed people power as the ability of the people, through their
organizations, to solve problems based on their interests without delegated to anyone.
Since this proposed change as social, always from below, never from above, beyond the
governments.

Independence class as the only guarantee that the popular classes we manage to defend our
interests, generating our own organizations.

Autonomy of our organizations regarding the state and governments of the dye that is,
NGOs, political parties, churches, businesses, unions and those who tell us what we have
to do with authoritarian structures and far from our reality.

Federalism. We organized as a federation because we believe that our strength comes from
unity of each of grassroots organizations and their development. Respect to general
agreements as well as the autonomy and the characteristics of each organization allow us
to build a common project.

Direct democracy as a way of making decisions at all organizational bodies to ensure the
active participation of all colleagues.

Direct action as a way to fight without intermediaries to meet our demands without waiting
for the above solutions.
Autogesti?n: free labor as a form of exploitation and without patterns or as a principle
extended to all areas of the organization
Solidarity class: betting on popular field unit in the fight against injustice.

Gender equality. Under capitalism women suffer a double oppression, not only of the ruling
classes but also suffers sexism, sexual exploitation, authoritarianism within the family,
patriarchy. Our organization will fight any gender hierarchy because there is no real
social change without a place of equality for women.

Organize the unorganized and unite the dispersed to reverse the dispersion and
fragmentation articular seeking class force.

Ideological struggle. Often the ruling class does not need to resort to s prisons or
repression to enforce their plans, with all appliances, media, education, spreading their
ideas to confuse the masses and make us act according to their interests . The practice
and dissemination of solidarity and egalitarian values, the exercise of other forms of
organization, participation, consumption, in short, another way of seeing the world, are
the way to contribute to the creation of a vision that expresses the interests our class.

Internationalism. Pointing to the alliance between the people and their organizations
fight on bases internationalist, anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist social change
perspective.

Reconstruction of historical memory. recalling the historical struggles of the class and
the fallen of our people. We are part of a historic struggle that we carry the popular classes

This is the way we decided to move and from which we will bring to the struggle for a more
just society, without exploited or exploiters, not oppressed nor oppressors and in which
we, as a people, masters of our own destiny.

(en) Argentina, New quarter, old problems by Libertarian Students Front of Argentina - FeL (ca) [machine translation]


To continue the fight for our demands ---- Start a new academic year at universities,
colleges and secondary, and again we encounter the same problems of long ago. These range
from lack of infrastructure to house students, to arbitrary reforms of curricula, teachers
cesanteos of UBA, etc.. Beyond what is being said in the discursive, unfortunately this is
a systematic policy of joint Government and the Government of National City, which in many
ways continue to contribute to the precariousness of public education. From the
Libertarian Students Front systematize some of the central claims that cross the entire
student body, which will center on the agenda of all those that we intend to defend public
education and quality.


1) Problems with the curriculum:

Technical fight!

The academic demands are a response to the various attempts of governments to advance the
kind of education we want. If today there is clearly a sector struggling with constant
movement and a palpable mass arrival is that of students in high schools with technical
specialty. Technicians struggle through the Technical Group Autoconvocados (ATA) by the
repeal of the resolutions and decrees amending and empty their curriculum is similar to
parallel that exists in the UBA, in a more reduced terms of student population, but no
less important.

The LES lurking

The cuts and the lack of funding had always been an argument for the state building
industry, infrastructure materials and educational spaces. However, while the progress of
the cuts beyond infrastructure and is also manifested in the National Government's
intention to prove different courses of universities, an issue that has been doing even
more than the Menem administration, through the implementation of the Higher Education Act
(SLE). Accreditations have been implicated in the events the cut for the content of
undergraduate courses to pass to graduate payments, career orientation towards the needs
of the private sector (university-vaunted production system, expressed in free and
internships long internship) and to the interference of this sector in the curriculum and
research (such as Monsanto and La Alumbrera at UBA, Arcor at the University of Cordoba and
Volkswagen in the UTN, among many other examples). In addition, the Government tries to
wash your face with a draft announcing for years and also have it shelved, does not change
the substance of the LES, such as accreditation, the policy of "own resources" (not more
than private investment in exchange for more influence) and the criterion of merit
scholarships.

Reform curricula

As a contribution to the analysis of the education situation in Argentina, we see that the
model of government education is not only precarious materially, but also to reform the
commercialization like the contents of the races, regardless of the key players: teachers
and students. The reforms of the curriculum is now a common denominator throughout the
system educativo.Por we must live up to the forthcoming reforms to come, such as the UBA,
tertiary as Joaqu?n V. Gonzalez (where it was announced that all races will again be
modified, etc.). While we are at a disadvantage, it is shown that the student organization
may slow the progression of our careers. This is the case of the career of Social Work at
the Faculty of Social Sciences of the UBA, where the backs of the students tried to reform
the curriculum, and students themselves were mobilized those who managed to put a brake.
But the struggle is complex and can not obtain a complete victory if we organize ourselves
in all faculties, in open spaces that allow us to analyze and discuss the kind of
education we want and need, and the type of graduates who want to be.

2) Problems with the budget:

Cesanteos at UBA

The budgetary situation of education in Argentina is something that seems proud to
several, boasting of being the country with the highest GDP allocated to it. However, in
the classrooms of schools, tertiary and secondary do not perceive any change for the
better. On the contrary, we witness that the situation is becoming critical, aspects that
should be as basic as building complex. In turn, students not only suffer these
consequences, but again teachers are ready to fight to stop the more than 600 cesanteos
announced last quarter. The education workers would suffer another 500 compulsory
redundancies later this year. As an organization we believe it is very important to bring
to this fight, side by side with the teachers union that is in constant movement,
supporting strikes and defending their jobs.

"Social educational practices" or simply free labor?

The implementation of Resolution 520, adopted by the Board of Governors in May 2010,
states that from 2013 students are recorded in any race of the UBA must devote some of
their hours at work without pay as a condition for graduation, to like power management,
increasing the number of workers remain precarious and Pro Bono as students and workers.

The fight for the ticket just beginning

The last quarter were conducted several multi-sectoral meetings with the intention that
the FUBA and make visible student centers and relegated the old student ticket claim.
These meetings resulted in a massive march on May 18, in which student centers, student
and social organizations went to Plaza de Mayo to demand for the ticket.
This claim is still valid and we must claim back on track in all educational areas, as it
is by strengthening the student movement in the classroom and on the streets where we can
make our voices heard, compared to the increase in train tickets, bus and subway, and
inflation increases every month.

3) Trial by Mariano Ferreyra:

We can not fail to mention that on Monday August 6th began the trial of those responsible
for the murder of Mariano Ferreyra, being a fact of great importance in politics in
Argentina, which moves us and shocked since that October 20, 2010. We strongly believe
that the student movement can not be in any way alien to this call for justice and
punishment of the perpetrators and masterminds, and the complicity of the national
government. Mariano's struggle is and will remain, like ours, joining and defending the
rights of people with the workers. Mariano's example is that of militancy and class
solidarity.

We invite all partners who feel an affinity for our ideas and political positions to join
the struggle, from below and together, to organize the student movement to halt the
advancement of public education and other achievements of our working people. Because only
organized can contribute to this goal consistently. The FEL is born in the heat of the
struggles and to contribute to the same, and we bring all our betting partners, to discuss
and carry out together, without sectarianism or pettiness. That is the perspective of the
libertarian left.
