Yesterday both the Federal and Metropolitan police (the first one dependent on the national government, the latter on the provincial one) forcefully “evicted”, (that is, shot the shit out of,) people who were taking shelter in Villa Soldati in the province of Buenos Aires. This resulted in the deaths of a Paraguayan 24 year old man and a Bolivian 28 year old woman, Bernardo Salgueiro, and Rosemary Puña. The people who were “evicted” were in their majority non-nationals, and the police as you might expect, took note, very like “Patria Grande” style. This, however, is only another link in the chain. About a month after the murder of Mariano Ferreyra, the 23 year old militant of the Partido Obrero, (whose fight against the trade-union bureaucracy, as you might recall from our Izquierda Nacional marxmailer, “we MUST protest, [since it] is the perverted way some self-appointed Leftists tried to use this crime in Argentina against the government and the best elements in the union movement”. Best elements who used to lead the Juventud Sindical Peronista (Moyano), which helped the dictatorship in “neutralizing” those terrorist subversives, or who profit millions together with the leader of the anti-national right Macri (Pedraza) with the tercerization business…) in the province of Formosa the gendarmes went to control the protest of the Toba indigenous people of “La Primavera” community, who after being displaced, that is, ripped off their lands, were blocking the road. Just like Miss President Courage, companera Cristina Fernandez de Krichner promised (“Pagaria mil costos politicos antes de reprimir argentinos”,= I would pay a thousand political costs before repressing Argentines) brutally repressed and TWO people died (of course, like the people in Villa Soldati, they were not Argentines, or people...) The QOM peoples have been demonstrating for years blocking the highways since the governmental apparatus is implementing a vicious home-burning “eviction”. Here’s companera Cristina with Gildo Insfran, the governor of the Formosa province, who did not dare cover this up but: justified it, companera Cristina, of course, taking cue from him, didn’t say nothing: http://archivo.elcomercial.com.ar/archivo-on-line/2008/FEBRERO/27-02-08/images/pag-01.jpg Here’s a good report from Indimedia http://argentina.indymedia.org/news/2010/11/762094.php Another link in the chain of objective assaults of the ruling class (in both its progressive nationalist and neoliberal garb) in the interests of capital, not that that matters when the oppressed must still wait to learn from the real Marxists what their real interests are. Anyway, just thought I the “marxist” ought to give the real-life actually existing MARXISTS a hint or two on the contradictory and complex process of the bourgeois construction of the absolute ONE NATION, impudent child I am… I hope I haven’t ruined Nestor’s opportunity to break this news, I am sure he’s writing an objective report which addresses the social conditions instead of throwing empty labels based on apologetic abstractions, as I’m posting this. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.econ.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
