Oggetto: <caravan99> argentina first hand
the good word first hand from argentina:
i just had a wonderful
time hitching
through a 150km section of northern argentina which is
controled by
activists who have kicked the police and army out. The
piqueteros are
amazing. They've used non-violent direct action to
liberate a town of
30,000 people, shutdown oil refineries, and generally
kick ass. Also down
here the workers have started taking over and running
the factories
themsleves without bosses or the owners. Also they
have all these directly
democratic assemblies which are coordinating all the
protests against teh
economic system, but also they want to scrap
represnentivie democracy. Now
i-m in bolivia working on starting an imc here... :)
Even if the US is fucked up there are some amazing
things happening in
south america. Who knows if it will become a
revolution, but it's the
closest thing i've ever seen to one.
