On Saturday, January 28, add together the third day of the clinic, a day of decentralized
actions in support of autonomous social center in Prague's Zizkov. The clinic continues to
lead the struggle for survival and the preservation of a unique space for free and
bezpenežní share ideas, activities and resources. But since the world does not end at home
backyard fence, we would like to take this opportunity also urged to support other
projects, is experiencing similar difficulties as a clinic. Anarchist Federation hereby
expresses support also currently threatened squat INDE in the Slovenian town of Koper. To
zoom situation bring information from local groups Obstaja alternative, which is part of
our sister federation in Slovenia. ---- Autonomous areas in Slovenia under attack. Sponsor
a m e the fight!
In the last few years there have been in Slovenia new autonomous spaces and joined the
fight earlier squats across the country. Until recently, the Slovenian coast were occupied
by two huge buildings. Squatters in their surroundings brought radical politics and
different social relations. Both squats were always open to diverse projects and
initiatives, and participation in activities of anarchists but there were also very
strong. Squats originated in former factories, which destroyed the reckless privatization.
Squat ARGO in Izola was immediately evacuated after the New Year. Eviction prevent
harassment by the police and security agencies, which in some cases led to serious
injuries or heavy fines. Second coastal squat on behalf of INDE received notice of
eviction only a few days before. Its inhabitants according to him, must leave the premises
by 30 January.
Both squats are currently owned by the so-called bad bank. It is a state institution under
the administration of the Ministry of Finance, which was established to resolve the debt
incurred large unsuccessful speculative financial investments that collapsed during the
economic crisis. In other words, there are the buildings sold cheaply and to make a
further financial speculation on which will again benefit the rich, while others will lose
out.
INDE squat eviction will happen under the pretext of removing hazardous materials at its
premises. Squat ARGO was Authorities also declared a danger zone, but only from what were
trying to clean the building, were our comrades and friends who have given life spaces again.
It is another blow for the squatter movement in Slovenia. All rooms face attacks both
Nazis and / or police, security agencies and state institutions. We understand this kind
of coercion as part of increasing repression, which is justified by the so-called migrant
crisis. At stake is more than the listed building. These spaces free from capitalist logic
is the hope of another world, it is still possible solidarity, mutual assistance and
anti-authoritarian and non-hierarchical relationships. A few months ago we managed to
prevent the eviction of the squat Rog in Ljubljana. We believe that this success can be
repeated.
Local anarchists says, "We invite friends around the world that we show solidarity. You
are welcome here, but we also love when you fight where you are. Write us a letter
supporting or hang a banner! Or something occupy yourself! If we stick together, we never
stop us. Everything you do will give us the strength. If we lose, so in style. Join our
fight! "

With 400 demonstrators, the protest against the arrival of Marion Maréchal-Le Pen was a
success! ---- After tens of thousands of euros spent in communication, after having made
boxes on almost the whole department, after numerous media relays, after a major
mobilization of their militants on the great west, the FN, Poster Marion Maréchal-Le Pen,
painfully gathered 700 people yesterday in Fougères, in a place that could have
accommodated 2,500. ---- Alternative libertarian with other organizations and the
inhabitants had chosen to make a demonstration in order to fight the racist and sexist
ideas of extreme right, taken allegedly by many candidates for the presidential. ----
Thus, despite the cold, 400 people showed their refusal of these ideas. This demonstration
is a success testifying to the refusal of ideas of extreme right in Fougeres, despite the
absence of appeal to the manifestation of certain Fougeres organizations.
Also, now the great mass of the FN ended and the buses left, remain those who build the
solidarities, who work to the implementation of real political alternatives, disinterested
in power and sincere in their will to build society together, By our daily actions, by our
struggles, by the creation of counter-powers for the creation of a more just society.

appeal of Douai, we will be with them! ---- While on his way to a trade union
demonstration on 17 May 2016 in Lille and holding the flag of his local union CGT
Valenciennes, he was brutally beaten to the ground by three policemen and arrested. He
participated in the demonstration and spent three weeks in preventive detention and was
sentenced to 10 months 'suspended jail and two years' ban on demonstrations in the Nord
department. ---- The local mobilization , national and international surrounding his case
has prevented a more severe punishment like those that hit hundreds of opponent-es, many
of which are still in custody in a context marked by the state emergency. Several
testimonies and press articles then demonstrated that the accusation was built up from
scratch and that the more minority government in public opinion could only be imposed by
repression and intimidation in order to prevent the development of mobilization.

CONSULATE, 7 pm ---- Patra: ESPEROS, George Square, 6:30 pm ---- COMMUNICATION FROM
ANARCHIKIS POLITICAL ORGANISATION ---- FOR imprisonment ANARCHIST HÜSEYIN CIVAN AND HUNGER
STRIKE OF ANARCHIST UMUT FIRAT ---- Anarchist prisoner, author Meydan newspaper, Umut
Firat Suvariogullari, who is incarcerated in Turkish prisons for 23 years, is on hunger
strike since December 13, 2016, at the press T. prison in Yenisakran Izmir, denouncing the
Status of Emergency that it has declared the Turkish state, and inhuman prison conditions
of political prisoners imposed by it. A prison within the prison visiting bans, withdrawal
of any right of prisoners and ongoing torture. ---- On December 23, 2016, the Istanbul
court sentenced Hüseyin Civan, editor of the anarchist newspaper Meydan, to imprisonment
of one year and three months for "propaganda of terrorism" and in particular "for
terrorist methods which constitute intimidation, violence and threats by means money, the
approbation or encouragement of these methods. " The chief prosecutor had ordered an
investigation against the newspaper from December 2015 to mark articles that were
published in the thirtieth edition, themed "prohibiting everything."
The imprisonment of Hüseyin Civan and the imposition of inhumane conditions of detention
of political kratoumenonentassontai the repressive campaign of the Turkish state, which in
recent years manifested in military operations in the Kurdish areas, mass persecution and
murderous attacks on opposition movements and revolutionary organizations. A campaign
peaked today, after the failed coup last July and the extension of emergency rule. The
Erdogan regime, accusing his political opponents of trying to overthrow uses the attempted
coup on the one hand for clearances in all state apparatuses (army, judiciary, public
sector) and the other impose totalitarian war on enemy within, for the dissolution of
class and social elements. At the same time it triggers the fans together with the gray
wolves to attack the neighborhoods and places of leftist and anarchist activists and
organizations.
In this direction, anarchists, communists, unionists, teachers, journalists, artists and
those who deny in any way the omnipotence of the regime they face persecution, torture and
imprisonment. Still, the same climate, catalyzed elementary rights, prohibits gatherings
and demonstrations, the newspaper halts, radio and television stations, apply censorship
and Internet access blocking, parties and organizations designated as terrorist groups,
incursions made into fighters homes and made attacks on political and social spaces.
The form of state aggression in Turkey is shaped so based on the country's position in the
arena of geopolitical alliances and rivalries as well as its long-term orientation of
state and paramilitary terror against revolutionary movements and racing inside.
The iron control and suppression grid that spreads in every field of social life in the
interior is complemented by its policy in the greater Middle East region which, according
to the chauvinism of the Turkish state, includes extermination companies Kurdish
communities, military operations of the Turkish army in northern Syria and elsewhere,
haphazard cooperation within NATO and the European Union, but even with the ISIS itself.
H EU-Turkey agreement on refugees, which characterizes Turkey as a safe place at the same
time imprisons thousands of refugees in camps in southeast and west borders and unfolds
planning to establish an absolutely totalitarian system internally, is declarative for
what is in store for us the states and the bosses in the coming period, especially at a
time of sharpening endokyriarchikon rivalries in the region, but also globally.
As Anarchist Political Organisation express our solidarity with anarchist comrades of DAF
(Anarchist Revolutionary Action) and Meydan newspaper, as well as those fighting in Turkey
against state totalitarianism, the persecution and imprisonment of militants, keeping
alive the vision of a world of equality , solidarity and freedom.
Against state and capitalist barbarism and the modern totalitarianism, only hope of the
oppressed is to connect them so that coping with the joint attack they receive. Only
through the flame of the games and international resistances it is possible to vindicate
the real social needs of a free and just society. From neighboring Turkey and
revolutionary Rozava, the slums of France, to the struggles in Mexico, the resistance of
the indigenous people in North America and the massive protests against the regime in the
United States, no one is oppressed not only as there is struggle for freedom.
To take life in our hand, to build a new emancipated society based on dignity, justice,
freedom and solidarity on the ruins of the power world of the state and capital, making
reality generalized social self-management.

It's almost like clockwork. Since 1979 - the birth of neoliberalism (not the conception of
neoliberalism, for its ideological roots may be traced back to the 1938 Walter Lippmann
Colloquium as well as the 1947 Mont Pèlerin Society gathering) - the working class has
been inundated with our elite's overbearing adherence to a set of principles centered upon
the belief that markets know best and therefore should virtually be free to govern us.
Alongside the religious frenzy concerning the Chicago School of economic thought, the
citizenry of the United States was and remains forced to witness the hollowing out of any
sense of class mobility and the development of a political class minted from two sides of
the same coin, the coin being that of strictly business interests.
Hence, the clockwork; a clockwork composed of worker-community despair and reactionary
electoralism, where just about every two presidential terms, we are forced to witness the
Republicans or Democrats exploiting the economic anguish that the previous party in power
implemented during the last eight or so years to win the election. Whether the politician
is tied to a conservative or liberal base, the overarching motivation for obtaining the
presidency is solely concerned with the profit-maximizing motives of the business class
(not the woes of an electoral base). But this continuous transfer of power from Democrat
to Republican is not alone. Instead, an equally distracting process emerges as well. That
process being the idolization and faux love for the previous leader. And there is no
better illustration of said motion than the current liberal mourning over the legacy of
Mr. Barack Obama in the wake of Trump.
Yet such sentiment is dangerous and misplaced. It pacifies us, enabling us to turn towards
a false narrative of the past while overlooking the atrocities committed by the prior
leader and the systemic corruption of our political system. Consequently, I hope to
counter the contemporary yearning to romanticize the "legacy" of Obama such that those
interested in building an anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist alternative may do so
without falling victim to unsubstantiated illusions now being embedded into our collective
memory of the Obama years.
Concerning executive war powers, Alex Emmons of The Intercept pointed out that in
"Anticipating that Donald Trump might try to fulfill his promises to "bomb the shit" out
of terror groups and do a "hell of a lot worse than waterboarding," President Obama
released a report on Monday summarizing his administration's views of the legal barriers
and policies limiting the president's military power." To those who have been tirelessly
dedicated to the recording of Obama's expansion of military might, the notion that a
little over 60-page report can whiteout his "bombing campaigns in seven countries, a
legally unaccountable drone program, and an open prison at Guantanamo Bay" would be
entertaining if it were not for the fact that innumerable persons have died as a result.
On the other hand, Cornell West reminisced about Obama's "sad legacy" by way of writing
the following: "We hit the streets again with Black Lives Matter and other groups and went
to jail for protesting against police killing black youth. We protested when the Israeli
Defense Forces killed more than 2,000 Palestinians (including 550 children) in 50 days.
Yet Obama replied with words about the difficult plight of police officers, department
investigations (with no police going to jail) and the additional $225m in financial
support of the Israeli army. Obama said not a mumbling word about the dead Palestinian
children but he did call Baltimore black youth "criminals and thugs"." Needless to say,
West's indictment of Obama on matters of race and financial support and backing of the
Israeli Government hardly goes far enough. What about Obama's militarization of America's
police forces? Or the fact that we do not only financially support the Israeli army, but
train factions of their police and military?
Of monumental importance, one must also consider the investigative work of John Pilger in
understanding the genuine nature of Obama's administration and stances. In a piece
published this past May, Pilger writes: "In 2009, Obama promised to help "rid the world of
nuclear weapons" and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. No American president has built
more nuclear warheads than Obama since the end of the Cold War. He is "modernizing"
America's doomsday arsenal, including a new "mini" nuclear weapon, whose size and "smart"
technology, says a leading general, ensure its use is "no longer unthinkable"."
While the list could grow ever more swollen, a keen observer may note that there exists a
tacit, almost unspoken assumption underpinning any motivations for why Obama's legacy is
actually plagued with behaviors such as the aforementioned. That is to say, Obama - much
in the same way that we like to accuse Trump of attempting to exploit the White House for
financial gain - ought to be considered a softer, cooler, and more approachable surrogate
with the same customer in mind. The customer being the business class, which profits of
the needless death of American soldiers, military buildup in the South China Sea, and the
bombing of whomever in the Middle East.
Clockwork, indeed.

Lulism ideologically disarmed to prevent a coup by the oligarchic allies. ---- I say
categorically: The ex-left succumbed by ignorance or underestimation of the concept of
ideology and the direct consequence of the false idea of hegemony in Brazilian society. As
I have long asserted, to the point of exhaustion by repetition of the concept, I do not
deal with superficial or shallow type hegemony when it is misunderstood to "have hegemony"
to simply impose some names on certain key positions in institutions Within a structurally
unequal society. This is not hegemony, perhaps hegemonism, old vice of the leftists
delighted with authoritarian temptation. ---- The deputy coup, the deposed president and
the former president who got confused with the enemy
I dare say that we still have the disease of a certain "distributivist hobbesianism", and
far beyond the thinking of Stalinist tradition and also neo-revolutionary. In this second,
having as an ally the first, I locate the ideological position of former President Lula
and the phenomenon of Lullism. And just as in 1964, everything is lost because it does not
understand the kind of postcolonial society in which we find ourselves. Or worst. We lose
everything by believing in bourgeois institutionalism more than the national oligarchy
itself and the estates that now venture into seizing state power (such as magistrates and
prosecutors). Finally, the Executive Branch is lost because it does not believe in any
moment in creating or reinforcing collective agents with veto power. Soon, the
Post-colonial, Creole and bourgeois Executive Power is lost for wanting nothing with the
People's Power.
Much has been speculated about the absurd loss of power on the part of the second Dilma
government (2015-2016). We can highlight the role of digital marketing companies and
centers for the promotion of neoliberalism; Also the strategic role of the mass media to
form a new conservative consensus; The action of imperialism through Operation Bridges and
with the installation of the Lava Jato Task Force (practically uncontrollable and in
direct cooperation with the USA); And obviously the traitorous action of the former
political ally, headed by the vice president-elect and re-elected with the former minister
of the Civil House of Lula. But, I insist, the action of the strategic enemy was
underestimated by Lullism, which saw it only as a circumstantial adversary. Therefore, by
not assuming the impossibility of a long-term alliance and consequent "defense of
institutional stability", Lula, Rui Falcão, José Dirceu and other leading leaders were
able to impose their consensus and self-conviction on a legend with thousands of members,
but With little internal democracy in central decision-making.
The ideological defeat is to rely on too much and not have an asset, a card up its sleeve.
No one in their right mind can be "surprised" by Michel Temer's conduct - exemplified in
the letter where he presents himself as a "candidate" in full exercise of the Vice
Presidency - being himself, the political godchild of Adhemar de Barros and projected
nationally through Orestes Quércia. Considering that the National Directorate of the PT
and Lula himself have a career in São Paulo, they can not claim ignorance or
misinterpretation. I go beyond reasoning. Ideological defeat is a position beforehand,
where one of the central agents in a conflict simply denies it, for supposing the old
enemy no longer considers him more "enemy" because the tamed agent tries to present
himself as "reliable and behaved." It would be just more intellectual absurdity if it did
not bring corporate misery. There he loses grace.
There is only a minimum of understanding of the concrete societies of Latin America -
Brazil included and not outside, as if we were with our back to the Continent - to verify
that the table can be turned at any moment. If our more than convincing historical
processes were not enough, we should note the white, institutional, and successful coups
of Honduras (with the deposition of Manuel Zelaya Rosales, taken over in January 2006 and
overthrown with the Supreme Court's approval in June 2009) and Paraguay (when the then
president Fernando Lugo took over in August 2008 and toppled after a controversial
impeachment in June 2012). As arrogance and arrogance are direct daughters of the exercise
of political power, they imagined that "in Brazil there are no more of these things; We
are not a republiqueta ". No, of course not, we are a huge Oligarchic and Commodified
Republic. The Bananão affirmed itself above the institutions and the state had brought to
itself the role of Moderating Power, legislating by jurisprudence and binding precedent.
Media, brutalization and the absence of exchange of ideas
"and the people bestialized, attended the proclamation of such a republic." Thus ends the
classic narrative of those who followed the military coup of November 15, 1889, when the
cabinet of the War overthrows the Brazilian monarchy whom Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca
served. The change of political regime always tends to be a traumatic moment for
operators, contending elites or sectors of the ruling class losing direct interests. But
for most, even when there is some popular inclination in the current government, if it is
not organized in defense of its flags and direct conquests, the tendency is to devote
itself to daily survival. In the absence of social subjects with organicity and references
from the base, the Brazilian people, unfortunately, perceive the dramatic symptoms only
when they feel hit. It's like someone walking in the dark and getting punched, feeling the
pain, but not recognizing who strikes.
When we have a country with disorganized social subjects, even though these are benefited
by government programs, it is not material improvement that will lead to a signification
or change of consciousness. So even as life improves, most will realize that money, direct
employment, and material benefits will mean more work and commitment, not ideological
change. For a period of time, these beneficiaries will have some identity with the
charismatic leader - in this case, the former President Lula. But once the model starts to
crumble, the captive vote is "free", generally falling into abstention, blank or null, as
it turned out in the first round of the 2016 municipal elections
as the daily life of broad sections of the C classes And D have improved, but not to the
point of transforming daily relations, or even significantly reducing the rates of urban
violence, the political identity with the "ex-trade unionist who has never been left"
(Lula's own phrase) does not reach the point Transferred to the successor. The ruin of the
macroeconomic model went hand in hand and was driven by permanent selective exposure and
media judgment, focusing on the "whole work" of Lullism. Faced with the possibility of
subordinating the government that did everything to please them, the media conglomerates,
led by Globo and seconded by Estadão, Folha and Abril, stitched together the conservative
consensus, aided by the neoliberals upstairs and the neopentecostals at the base Of the
social pyramid. Gave what he gave.
Pointing out the obvious conclusion
in the absence of social organization, it is impossible to defend indefensible practices
without even understanding the loss of rights that is already happening. To organize the
majority, it is urgent to build, little by little, a new consensus of the social subjects
that conform this majority, pointing to the defense of interests and popular identity
totally antagonistic to the symbolic representations of the colonized ruling class.

appeal of Douai, we will be with them! ---- While on his way to a trade union
demonstration on 17 May 2016 in Lille and holding the flag of his local union CGT
Valenciennes, he was brutally beaten to the ground by three policemen and arrested. He
participated in the demonstration and spent three weeks in preventive detention and was
sentenced to 10 months 'suspended jail and two years' ban on demonstrations in the Nord
department. ---- The local mobilization , national and international surrounding his case
has prevented a more severe punishment like those that hit hundreds of opponent-es, many
of which are still in custody in a context marked by the state emergency. Several
testimonies and press articles then demonstrated that the accusation was built up from
scratch and that the more minority government in public opinion could only be imposed by
repression and intimidation in order to prevent the development of mobilization.

THURSDAY 2 FEBRUARY 2017 ---- ATHENS: TURKISH EMBASSY, 6 pm ---- THESSALONIKI: TURKISH
CONSULATE, 7 pm ---- Patra: ESPEROS, George Square, 6:30 pm ---- COMMUNICATION FROM
ANARCHIKIS POLITICAL ORGANISATION ---- FOR imprisonment ANARCHIST HÜSEYIN CIVAN AND HUNGER
STRIKE OF ANARCHIST UMUT FIRAT ---- Anarchist prisoner, author Meydan newspaper, Umut
Firat Suvariogullari, who is incarcerated in Turkish prisons for 23 years, is on hunger
strike since December 13, 2016, at the press T. prison in Yenisakran Izmir, denouncing the
Status of Emergency that it has declared the Turkish state, and inhuman prison conditions
of political prisoners imposed by it. A prison within the prison visiting bans, withdrawal
of any right of prisoners and ongoing torture. ---- On December 23, 2016, the Istanbul
court sentenced Hüseyin Civan, editor of the anarchist newspaper Meydan, to imprisonment
of one year and three months for "propaganda of terrorism" and in particular "for
terrorist methods which constitute intimidation, violence and threats by means money, the
approbation or encouragement of these methods. " The chief prosecutor had ordered an
investigation against the newspaper from December 2015 to mark articles that were
published in the thirtieth edition, themed "prohibiting everything."
The imprisonment of Hüseyin Civan and the imposition of inhumane conditions of detention
of political kratoumenonentassontai the repressive campaign of the Turkish state, which in
recent years manifested in military operations in the Kurdish areas, mass persecution and
murderous attacks on opposition movements and revolutionary organizations. A campaign
peaked today, after the failed coup last July and the extension of emergency rule. The
Erdogan regime, accusing his political opponents of trying to overthrow uses the attempted
coup on the one hand for clearances in all state apparatuses (army, judiciary, public
sector) and the other impose totalitarian war on enemy within, for the dissolution of
class and social elements. At the same time it triggers the fans together with the gray
wolves to attack the neighborhoods and places of leftist and anarchist activists and
organizations.
In this direction, anarchists, communists, unionists, teachers, journalists, artists and
those who deny in any way the omnipotence of the regime they face persecution, torture and
imprisonment. Still, the same climate, catalyzed elementary rights, prohibits gatherings
and demonstrations, the newspaper halts, radio and television stations, apply censorship
and Internet access blocking, parties and organizations designated as terrorist groups,
incursions made into fighters homes and made attacks on political and social spaces.
The form of state aggression in Turkey is shaped so based on the country's position in the
arena of geopolitical alliances and rivalries as well as its long-term orientation of
state and paramilitary terror against revolutionary movements and racing inside.
The iron control and suppression grid that spreads in every field of social life in the
interior is complemented by its policy in the greater Middle East region which, according
to the chauvinism of the Turkish state, includes extermination companies Kurdish
communities, military operations of the Turkish army in northern Syria and elsewhere,
haphazard cooperation within NATO and the European Union, but even with the ISIS itself.
H EU-Turkey agreement on refugees, which characterizes Turkey as a safe place at the same
time imprisons thousands of refugees in camps in southeast and west borders and unfolds
planning to establish an absolutely totalitarian system internally, is declarative for
what is in store for us the states and the bosses in the coming period, especially at a
time of sharpening endokyriarchikon rivalries in the region, but also globally.
As Anarchist Political Organisation express our solidarity with anarchist comrades of DAF
(Anarchist Revolutionary Action) and Meydan newspaper, as well as those fighting in Turkey
against state totalitarianism, the persecution and imprisonment of militants, keeping
alive the vision of a world of equality , solidarity and freedom.
Against state and capitalist barbarism and the modern totalitarianism, only hope of the
oppressed is to connect them so that coping with the joint attack they receive. Only
through the flame of the games and international resistances it is possible to vindicate
the real social needs of a free and just society. From neighboring Turkey and
revolutionary Rozava, the slums of France, to the struggles in Mexico, the resistance of
the indigenous people in North America and the massive protests against the regime in the
United States, no one is oppressed not only as there is struggle for freedom.
To take life in our hand, to build a new emancipated society based on dignity, justice,
freedom and solidarity on the ruins of the power world of the state and capital, making
reality generalized social self-management.

It's almost like clockwork. Since 1979 - the birth of neoliberalism (not the conception of
neoliberalism, for its ideological roots may be traced back to the 1938 Walter Lippmann
Colloquium as well as the 1947 Mont Pèlerin Society gathering) - the working class has
been inundated with our elite's overbearing adherence to a set of principles centered upon
the belief that markets know best and therefore should virtually be free to govern us.
Alongside the religious frenzy concerning the Chicago School of economic thought, the
citizenry of the United States was and remains forced to witness the hollowing out of any
sense of class mobility and the development of a political class minted from two sides of
the same coin, the coin being that of strictly business interests.
Hence, the clockwork; a clockwork composed of worker-community despair and reactionary
electoralism, where just about every two presidential terms, we are forced to witness the
Republicans or Democrats exploiting the economic anguish that the previous party in power
implemented during the last eight or so years to win the election. Whether the politician
is tied to a conservative or liberal base, the overarching motivation for obtaining the
presidency is solely concerned with the profit-maximizing motives of the business class
(not the woes of an electoral base). But this continuous transfer of power from Democrat
to Republican is not alone. Instead, an equally distracting process emerges as well. That
process being the idolization and faux love for the previous leader. And there is no
better illustration of said motion than the current liberal mourning over the legacy of
Mr. Barack Obama in the wake of Trump.
Yet such sentiment is dangerous and misplaced. It pacifies us, enabling us to turn towards
a false narrative of the past while overlooking the atrocities committed by the prior
leader and the systemic corruption of our political system. Consequently, I hope to
counter the contemporary yearning to romanticize the "legacy" of Obama such that those
interested in building an anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist alternative may do so
without falling victim to unsubstantiated illusions now being embedded into our collective
memory of the Obama years.
Concerning executive war powers, Alex Emmons of The Intercept pointed out that in
"Anticipating that Donald Trump might try to fulfill his promises to "bomb the shit" out
of terror groups and do a "hell of a lot worse than waterboarding," President Obama
released a report on Monday summarizing his administration's views of the legal barriers
and policies limiting the president's military power." To those who have been tirelessly
dedicated to the recording of Obama's expansion of military might, the notion that a
little over 60-page report can whiteout his "bombing campaigns in seven countries, a
legally unaccountable drone program, and an open prison at Guantanamo Bay" would be
entertaining if it were not for the fact that innumerable persons have died as a result.
On the other hand, Cornell West reminisced about Obama's "sad legacy" by way of writing
the following: "We hit the streets again with Black Lives Matter and other groups and went
to jail for protesting against police killing black youth. We protested when the Israeli
Defense Forces killed more than 2,000 Palestinians (including 550 children) in 50 days.
Yet Obama replied with words about the difficult plight of police officers, department
investigations (with no police going to jail) and the additional $225m in financial
support of the Israeli army. Obama said not a mumbling word about the dead Palestinian
children but he did call Baltimore black youth "criminals and thugs"." Needless to say,
West's indictment of Obama on matters of race and financial support and backing of the
Israeli Government hardly goes far enough. What about Obama's militarization of America's
police forces? Or the fact that we do not only financially support the Israeli army, but
train factions of their police and military?
Of monumental importance, one must also consider the investigative work of John Pilger in
understanding the genuine nature of Obama's administration and stances. In a piece
published this past May, Pilger writes: "In 2009, Obama promised to help "rid the world of
nuclear weapons" and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. No American president has built
more nuclear warheads than Obama since the end of the Cold War. He is "modernizing"
America's doomsday arsenal, including a new "mini" nuclear weapon, whose size and "smart"
technology, says a leading general, ensure its use is "no longer unthinkable"."
While the list could grow ever more swollen, a keen observer may note that there exists a
tacit, almost unspoken assumption underpinning any motivations for why Obama's legacy is
actually plagued with behaviors such as the aforementioned. That is to say, Obama - much
in the same way that we like to accuse Trump of attempting to exploit the White House for
financial gain - ought to be considered a softer, cooler, and more approachable surrogate
with the same customer in mind. The customer being the business class, which profits of
the needless death of American soldiers, military buildup in the South China Sea, and the
bombing of whomever in the Middle East.
Clockwork, indeed.

Lulism ideologically disarmed to prevent a coup by the oligarchic allies. ---- I say
categorically: The ex-left succumbed by ignorance or underestimation of the concept of
ideology and the direct consequence of the false idea of hegemony in Brazilian society. As
I have long asserted, to the point of exhaustion by repetition of the concept, I do not
deal with superficial or shallow type hegemony when it is misunderstood to "have hegemony"
to simply impose some names on certain key positions in institutions Within a structurally
unequal society. This is not hegemony, perhaps hegemonism, old vice of the leftists
delighted with authoritarian temptation. ---- The deputy coup, the deposed president and
the former president who got confused with the enemy
I dare say that we still have the disease of a certain "distributivist hobbesianism", and
far beyond the thinking of Stalinist tradition and also neo-revolutionary. In this second,
having as an ally the first, I locate the ideological position of former President Lula
and the phenomenon of Lullism. And just as in 1964, everything is lost because it does not
understand the kind of postcolonial society in which we find ourselves. Or worst. We lose
everything by believing in bourgeois institutionalism more than the national oligarchy
itself and the estates that now venture into seizing state power (such as magistrates and
prosecutors). Finally, the Executive Branch is lost because it does not believe in any
moment in creating or reinforcing collective agents with veto power. Soon, the
Post-colonial, Creole and bourgeois Executive Power is lost for wanting nothing with the
People's Power.
Much has been speculated about the absurd loss of power on the part of the second Dilma
government (2015-2016). We can highlight the role of digital marketing companies and
centers for the promotion of neoliberalism; Also the strategic role of the mass media to
form a new conservative consensus; The action of imperialism through Operation Bridges and
with the installation of the Lava Jato Task Force (practically uncontrollable and in
direct cooperation with the USA); And obviously the traitorous action of the former
political ally, headed by the vice president-elect and re-elected with the former minister
of the Civil House of Lula. But, I insist, the action of the strategic enemy was
underestimated by Lullism, which saw it only as a circumstantial adversary. Therefore, by
not assuming the impossibility of a long-term alliance and consequent "defense of
institutional stability", Lula, Rui Falcão, José Dirceu and other leading leaders were
able to impose their consensus and self-conviction on a legend with thousands of members,
but With little internal democracy in central decision-making.
The ideological defeat is to rely on too much and not have an asset, a card up its sleeve.
No one in their right mind can be "surprised" by Michel Temer's conduct - exemplified in
the letter where he presents himself as a "candidate" in full exercise of the Vice
Presidency - being himself, the political godchild of Adhemar de Barros and projected
nationally through Orestes Quércia. Considering that the National Directorate of the PT
and Lula himself have a career in São Paulo, they can not claim ignorance or
misinterpretation. I go beyond reasoning. Ideological defeat is a position beforehand,
where one of the central agents in a conflict simply denies it, for supposing the old
enemy no longer considers him more "enemy" because the tamed agent tries to present
himself as "reliable and behaved." It would be just more intellectual absurdity if it did
not bring corporate misery. There he loses grace.
There is only a minimum of understanding of the concrete societies of Latin America -
Brazil included and not outside, as if we were with our back to the Continent - to verify
that the table can be turned at any moment. If our more than convincing historical
processes were not enough, we should note the white, institutional, and successful coups
of Honduras (with the deposition of Manuel Zelaya Rosales, taken over in January 2006 and
overthrown with the Supreme Court's approval in June 2009) and Paraguay (when the then
president Fernando Lugo took over in August 2008 and toppled after a controversial
impeachment in June 2012). As arrogance and arrogance are direct daughters of the exercise
of political power, they imagined that "in Brazil there are no more of these things; We
are not a republiqueta ". No, of course not, we are a huge Oligarchic and Commodified
Republic. The Bananão affirmed itself above the institutions and the state had brought to
itself the role of Moderating Power, legislating by jurisprudence and binding precedent.
Media, brutalization and the absence of exchange of ideas
"and the people bestialized, attended the proclamation of such a republic." Thus ends the
classic narrative of those who followed the military coup of November 15, 1889, when the
cabinet of the War overthrows the Brazilian monarchy whom Marshal Deodoro da Fonseca
served. The change of political regime always tends to be a traumatic moment for
operators, contending elites or sectors of the ruling class losing direct interests. But
for most, even when there is some popular inclination in the current government, if it is
not organized in defense of its flags and direct conquests, the tendency is to devote
itself to daily survival. In the absence of social subjects with organicity and references
from the base, the Brazilian people, unfortunately, perceive the dramatic symptoms only
when they feel hit. It's like someone walking in the dark and getting punched, feeling the
pain, but not recognizing who strikes.
When we have a country with disorganized social subjects, even though these are benefited
by government programs, it is not material improvement that will lead to a signification
or change of consciousness. So even as life improves, most will realize that money, direct
employment, and material benefits will mean more work and commitment, not ideological
change. For a period of time, these beneficiaries will have some identity with the
charismatic leader - in this case, the former President Lula. But once the model starts to
crumble, the captive vote is "free", generally falling into abstention, blank or null, as
it turned out in the first round of the 2016 municipal elections
as the daily life of broad sections of the C classes And D have improved, but not to the
point of transforming daily relations, or even significantly reducing the rates of urban
violence, the political identity with the "ex-trade unionist who has never been left"
(Lula's own phrase) does not reach the point Transferred to the successor. The ruin of the
macroeconomic model went hand in hand and was driven by permanent selective exposure and
media judgment, focusing on the "whole work" of Lullism. Faced with the possibility of
subordinating the government that did everything to please them, the media conglomerates,
led by Globo and seconded by Estadão, Folha and Abril, stitched together the conservative
consensus, aided by the neoliberals upstairs and the neopentecostals at the base Of the
social pyramid. Gave what he gave.
Pointing out the obvious conclusion
in the absence of social organization, it is impossible to defend indefensible practices
without even understanding the loss of rights that is already happening. To organize the
majority, it is urgent to build, little by little, a new consensus of the social subjects
that conform this majority, pointing to the defense of interests and popular identity
totally antagonistic to the symbolic representations of the colonized ruling class.
