A-Infos (en) Federación Anarquista Santiago: IN FRONT OF GENOCIDAL POLICY, RESISTANCE IS LIFE - Opinion Letter, May 2021 (ca, de, it, pt)[machine translation]

The genocidal policy that the State has developed around the pandemic has 
manifested itself in the mortality figures, which are much higher in poor 
communes than in communes where the oligarchy lives. Studies show that covid-19 
is four times more deadly in Cerro Navia (poor commune) than in Vitacura (rich 
commune), which is why the pandemic and its implications are a matter of class. 
On the other hand, quarantines have proven ineffective in controlling the 
situation, since every day thousands of people have to leave their homes to look 
for bread, in crowded buses and subway cars. This situation has put our class in 
an extremely complex situation, we have had to choose between hunger or the virus.
In this context, it is that the withdrawals of 10% of the AFPs have been the 
"only real solution" to hunger and unemployment, a measure that clearly places 
the responsibility of the crisis on the workers, who have had to pay with our 
pension savings economic depression, even so, the government fearing that these 
withdrawals mean the collapse of the individually funded system have been a stop 
stone for these to materialize, thus generating a significant popular response. 
The protest continues to demonstrate its political capacity, running the fence of 
what is possible. Within the framework of the discussion of the third withdrawal, 
the territories have once again been activated around extensive and massive days 
of struggle, which come to show us that the process of social revolt started on 
October 18, 2019 is still open. We want to make it clear that it was the popular 
struggle that hit Piñera's criminal government a hard blow, it was not the 
Constitutional Court, nor Congress, nor Yasna Provoste, nor Pamela Jiles, 
therefore we must repudiate those who seek to win votes and legitimize their 
electoral claims through the needs and hunger of our peoples.
A nice opportunity to strengthen popular protest and finish ending the criminal 
government of Piñera was the call for a general strike on April 30. However, the 
CUT, led by the PC, preferred to pay attention to the DC, the Senate, the 
government, in full strike, preferred to legitimize the kitchen to save the 
government and while active sectors were on the street, Bárbara Figueroa met with 
the President of the Senate, becoming part of this new betrayal of the mobilized 
people. In a separate case, the sectors that did not mobilize that day because it 
was the CUT with the CP at the head that convened, specifically, both parties did 
not bet on discontent with the costs of this crisis on the streets.
Pretending that the days of protest are as intense as at the end of 2019 and the 
beginning of 2020 in the middle of a pandemic is ridiculous. However, the 
mobilization, although it has declined in its continuity, continues to show an 
important strength despite the virus, the State of Permanent Exception, and those 
who, intoxicated by the songs of the constituent siren, have left the street, 
seeking to demonstrate good civic behavior. privileging their electoral claims, 
they have been withdrawn from calls and have even criminalized the communities 
that continue to fight. For our part, this shows the need to continue building 
programmatic efforts and territorial articulation from the autonomy and 
independence of class, which move away from the restitution process, that it 
comes only to oxygenate the bourgeois democracy that today has us with 
overwhelming social control, with our populations and the Wallmapu completely 
militarized, and with thousands of political prisoners in company prisons. We 
must advance in the construction of struggle campaigns and unite programmatic and 
vindictive criteria at the level of organizations, assemblies and movements, 
which position community management and self-management as an alternative, as a 
way out of the crisis, in the face of positions of strengthening privatizations 
and / or the State. They gain importance as from the experiences of struggle of 
each community and territory, let us position axes and proposals for struggle 
that are related to social rights, water and nature, anti-patriarchal struggles, 
anti-repression struggles, among others.
Although we are already a year and a half away from the beginning of the social 
revolt, thousands of political prisoners are still kidnapped in the various 
prisons of the State, and it is that in this time the persecutions and arrests 
have continued, that is why the political prison does not It is a question that 
begins or stops in that furious October, but rather is a historical repressive 
force of the system of domination. For this reason, active solidarity with 
political prisoners must be a constant in our political action. Today, hunger 
strikes and various mobilizations within the dungeons of capital continue. It is 
imperative to continue the fight for the liberation of the anarchist, subversive, 
Mapuche political prisoners and of the social revolt, adding at the same time the 
urgent repeal of Decree Law 321, which prevents access to parole. Political 
prison in the context of the popular struggle against the system of domination is 
a reality that no one is unaware of, therefore strengthening solidarity networks 
and developing mobilizations within the framework of the struggle against the 
prison system is crucial in our struggle for emancipation. It is essential that 
social organizations can take forcefully against the demands against political 
prison, developing different gestures of solidarity and struggle, in order to 
socialize the anti-prison struggle in our populations and territories. For this 
reason, strengthening solidarity networks and developing mobilizations within the 
framework of the fight against the prison system is crucial in our fight for 
emancipation. It is essential that social organizations can take forcefully 
against the demands against political prison, developing different gestures of 
solidarity and struggle, in order to socialize the anti-prison struggle in our 
populations and territories. For this reason, strengthening solidarity networks 
and developing mobilizations within the framework of the fight against the prison 
system is crucial in our fight for emancipation. It is key that social 
organizations can take forcefully against the demands against political prison, 
developing different gestures of solidarity and struggle, in order to socialize 
the anti-prison struggle in our populations and territories.
Finally, while the precariousness of life advances: the cost of living increases, 
the mental health of the oppressed class deteriorates, the devastation of our 
territories is justified by the economic reactivation, and repressive measures 
are sustained and strengthened, there are those who they will use this situation 
to win votes in the upcoming electoral circus, a process that seeks to restore 
state power in the face of a deep crisis of its institutional framework and 
legitimacy. Our commitment is to continue rebuilding the social fabric, where 
from the coordination in an anti-capitalist and anti-patriarchal key we can 
create a programmatic effort from class autonomy and independence, in order to 
take a qualitative and quantitative leap in view of the destruction of the 
system. of domination.
