[FOB] Reformism surrenders to state fascism

“No one in the world, no one in history,
has achieved freedom by appealing to the
moral sense of his oppressor”
Assata Shakur

Another electoral farce is over. This time, with large national and state victories for a fascist gang, actively fostered by the reformism of the institutional left. The reformists have defended their much-loved bourgeois democracy by tooth and nail, but they also have sabotaged and hindered people’s struggles, for the last two decades, from their thrones as managers of Brazilian capitalism. The Labor Party (PT) governments, which oscillated between social democracy and neoliberalism, brought frustration and disgust to the people. Added to this, the empty promises and these governments’ chasm between discourse and action, have led parts of the working class to delude themselves with an openly authoritarian and elitist alternative. But this road is too well travelled and it leads only to the precipice. Fortunately, reality is more complex and fruitful than what is being parroted by those donning the masks of the friendliest of humanisms, while effectively acting to shield the bourgeoisie off.


Hatred of the class-conciliation policy of the PT, added to a kind of festive inertia, touted as “criticism” of the electoral reformism of the “left”, have paved the way for a fake polarization between political forces. This division is behind several episodes of violence among the population. Its second round was characterised by the worsening and expansion of this violence. As in the murder of Mestre Moa, in Salvador – BA, by a Bolsonaro supporter; in the assasination of Charlione in Pacajus, in the interior of the state of Ceará, during a pro-Haddad demonstration; and in the death of Priscila, a transgender woman, murdered in the name of Bolsonaro.


As a response, the electoral left emptied the contradiction between capital and labour, as redefined by the aggravation of the neoliberal project in Brazil, of any meaning. It reinforced, in the most grotesque and reactionary way, the false polarization between candidates. It shifted the root of the problem and turned it into a question of knowing whose turn it was to be the manager. Even worse, it blamed it’s defeat on the people! Haddad and Manuela (running mate from the Communist Party of Brazil) tried to make agreements that could win them some votes with a number of sectors. They went as far as to negotiate “appropriate behaviour guidelines” with the feminist movement. [Were these guidelines for the feminist movement, to keep it in line, or were these guidelines from the feminist movement?]


In their propaganda, a pacifist meaning of the word “love” was abused and misused. It was opposed to what was referred to, in general terms, as “hate speech”. By doing so, they mixed the prejudices of Brazilian society together with the understandable anger of the people, due to the extreme worsening of living conditions in recent years. Reformists are so confident that they are on the side of “love”, that they fail to perceive any political intent in abstention. But the truth is that the “unvotes” (invalid, blanks and votes that were not casted) represented 42.1 million voters. It was one of the largest abstentions in history in the second round of a presidential election. This large figure, despite the polarization brought about by the opposition to the PT and by despair, is no coincidence. It reflects the dissatisfaction that millions feel towards the very political model that’s being applied in Brazil. It also shows that a large part of the people harbor no illusions about the next oppressor that will hold the position of President of the Republic.


The election-mongers in the left described the vote for Bolsonaro as plain “fascism”. At best, as portraying the degree to which fascism had advanced in society. In any case, they reduced all possible political positions and behaviours to casting votes in bourgeois elections. A poll that was based on fragmented campaigns and on the proliferation of lies, bought and disseminated by big businessmen. The 2018 elections were marked by “fake news”. These were used as a tactic by the main candidates. This fake news spread among the people and caused a large part of it to feel deceived or confused.


Reformism also showed its true elitist face in the argument that voting for Bolsonaro was a result of people’s “ignorance”. At some point they advised to “exchange weapons for books”. But the people know very well what violence is! They are dying in wars that the state instigates! Those who don’t know and can’t understand the acute despair of witnessing deaths and the daily flow of blood, are the petty bourgeois left reformists, who sit on their couch and watch it all on TV.


The PT governments have been ineffective in providing any solution to the problem of violence. And that is one of the reasons that explain the delusions that many voters have regarding Bolsonaro. The conservative elitism of the reformist left, that creates a hyerarchy of political positions based on “erudition”, pretends also to educate the people on the ways towards emancipation and the construction of socialism.


Some sectors in the left have presented themselves publicly as “critics” of the PT government. But in the present context, they later capitulated and campaigned for the PT. This is no more than another result of those presuppositions about the people. Plain bullshit. Or even better, bullshit rooted in their own class prejudice. They assume that the people are fascists, same as Bolsonaro is. What is really happening is that, as a radical class, they haven´t yet figured out what path to take. But these leftists assume that Bolsonaro’s victory is the expression of a fascist society and that the PT could help to stop fascist propaganda in the country. Even though this is the party that has contributed most to create this diffuse anger felt by a betrayed and frustrated working class. In the reformist equation, society = state = elections and violence is completely overlooked. But there is a huge difference between humanism and the struggle for socialism. The parties of the institutional left have already proved, in every possible way throughout their existence, that they have chosen humanism and the management of class and state violence.


THE 2018 ELECTIONS IN CONTEXT


Since Dilma Roussseff’s impeachment in 2016, the right had been betting on the PSDB and its candidate in the 2018 presidential elections, Alckmin. However, Bolsonaro came to represent people’s feelings of hopelessness and opposition to the PT. He also boasted the support of some evangelicals and of the military, as evidenced by his vice-president, Mourão.


The Workers’ Party (PT) and its satellites were trapped in the Fora Temer (Temer Out!) and Lula Livre (Free Lula) campaigns. These led to catastrophic results. During the elections, the PT was fully behind the Haddad and Manuela ticket, as a continuation of its policy of class reconciliation. Meanwhile, the bourgeoisie no longer needed the services of the PT. And the PT reaped what it had sown. While it held Brazil’s presidency, it dutifully played the part of the right: it curtailed social movements and criminalised left-wing militants. It even passed repressive laws, such as the Anti-Terrorism Act.


The Bolsonaro and Mourão (PSL/PRTB) ticket won the election in all Brazilian states, except for the nine that make up the Northeastern region. Even beyond the elections Bolsonaro and Mourão as a captain and retired general of the Brazilian Army, it must be noted that more military officers were elected in 2018 than in any other year, 73 in total: 56 to state/district congress, 14 to federal congress and 3 senators. In other words, the Brazilian state will be even more militarised and repressive. There is already talk about cutting back social rights.


Bolsonaro’s openly fascist discourses, about “sweeping away Brazil’s reds”, “putting an end to activism”, in addition to a congress controlled by the military, set the stage for 2019. The loss of social rights will deepen. Their rule will be based on the whip and in the “shut your mouth up” principle. Repressive power will be strengthened. And, finally, class struggles will be more acute.

The current situation calls for the immediate setting up of Mutual Aid Committees, support networks and legal advice groups, for people’s self-defence and direct action. This is the task set forth for all unions, the student movement and the popular movements. We must defend every inch of the periphery and the favelas, the shanty-towns, the schools and universities, the factories and other workplaces, fields and villages.


The right is not bashful anymore and is now represented in Brazil’s presidency. They feel legitimised to practice all forms of oppression and violence. The institutional left will not be more radical in its actions, as it has become accustomed to and is compromised by its ties to the State.


The working class, facing a repressive steamroller that is heavier by the day, has but one option left: to shake off any reformist delusion and build up an effective revolutionary project, to fight against exploitation and capitalist violence, as this is only set to become even worse in 2019, led by an explicitly fascist government.

Amazon despide a una delegada sindical de Inicjatywa Pracownicza. ¡Haz que Amazon lo pague!
El 9 de noviembre de 2021, Amazon Polonia entregó un aviso de despido a Magda Malinowska, que ha trabajado durante 6 años en su almacén de Sady, cerca de Poznan. Magda era representante sindical e inspectora de salud y seguridad elegida por los miembros del sindicato.  El despido fue aún más grave teniendo en cuenta que se llevó a cabo tras unas reclamaciones del sindicato que fueron presentadas por escrito.  Como inspectora de seguridad e higiene, Magda participó en la investigación de la muerte de uno de sus compañeros, que falleció en su puesto de trabajo en septiembre de 2021.

  • Attack on FAL’s Madrid office!
 
Authoritarians go against anarchist ideas!

Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo (FAL) is a foundation established by CNT to preserve the rich history of the libertarian movement in Spain and to promote anarchist ideas and culture. It has a bookshop, a lecture hall and meeting rooms and a library in downtown Madrid. If you’ve ever been to town, you may have visited, as it’s a well-known reference in libertarian circles nationwide.

This office of FAL has been attacked. Last Monday, we discovered that someone’s authoritarian drive had been busy during the weekend.

Whoever it was, their efforts were focused on rendering the lock unusable and smashing the front glass. They used spray paint, glue and other materials and picks or hammers. This level of preparation shows a great deal of intent. We’d wish that they devoted similar efforts to achieve important goals, like social justice or class solidarity.

Let’s be clear, this is an attack on anarchist ideas carried out in a fascist-like manner. What would be the point, otherwise, in acting against bookshelves and a lecture hall?

Libertarian ideas, books and culture have been attacked. It is obvious that whoever carried this act out are not regulars at our events… if they were, they would have read, listened and debated and would not have allowed themselves to be manipulated into this wanton act.

Needless to say, we condemn this attack. Luckily, only material damage has been inflicted. The Fundacion is open again, though we still have some tidy-up to do.

As usual, as always, we forge ahead with positive, constructive action.

  • ¡Atacada la sede de FAL en Madrid!

¡Agresión autoritaria contra la cultura anarquista!

La Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo (FAL) es una organización dependiente de CNT para la conservación de la rica historia del movimiento libertario y la divulgación del pensamiento, la cultura y las ideas anarquistas. Cuenta con una librería, salón de actos, salas de reuniones y biblioteca en el centro de Madrid. Es probable que la conozcas, si alguna vez has visitado la ciudad, porque es un referente en el panorama libertario peninsular.

Pues bien, esta sede de la Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo ha sido atacada. El pasado lunes nos encontramos con que el ánimo destructivo de alguien estuvo muy activo el fin de semana.

Volcaron sus esfuerzos en romper la cerradura y destruir el cristal de la fachada con pintura y picos, lo que demuestra que se habían preparado. Ojalá se preparasen igual para luchar por cosas importantes como la justicia social o la solidaridad.

Un ataque a la Cultura Libertaria con maneras que son propias de fascistas, pero que parecen proliferar. ¿Qué sentido puede tener atacar un lugar presidido por estanterías con libros y espacios de difusión, si no es así?

Un ataque a la Cultura, al mundo de los libros y del pensamiento libertario. Está claro que quienes han llevado el ataque no pueden ser personas ‘asiduas’ de la Fundación… habrían leído, escuchado y discutido, y no se dejarían manipular por esa violencia sin sentido.

Por supuesto, condenamos la acción y sus consecuencias, afortunadamente solo materiales. Y ya volvemos a estar en marcha, arreglándolo todo… ya sabéis, la obra siempre constructiva.

  • Comunicado de prensa del sindicato FAU: delegación de paz retenida en el hotel, acto prohibido

[14 de junio, 10 a.m., Erbil] Todos los integrantes de la delegación de paz al norte de Irak se encuentran detenidos hoy en su hotel para impedir la celebración de un acto y una rueda de prensa frente a la oficina de la misión de la ONU en Erbil, algo a lo que ayer se había comprometido un representante del gobierno de la región.

Aproximadamente 30 peshmergas, armados con fusiles de asalto, custodian a las 60 personas que integran la delegación. Ayer mismo, la delegación se reunió con el ministro de Exteriores del Gobierno de la Región Autónoma del Kurdistán Iraquí (PDK), quien empeñó su palabra en que se permitiría la realización del acto. De momento, parece que la detención no es estricta, pero se han prohibido todos los actos públicos. Otros delegados se encuentran custodiados en este momento.

Wolf Meyer, integrante del secretariado internacional de FAU: “estas actuaciones del gobierno del Kurdistán Iraquí son indignas de unas relaciones internacionales oficiales y recuerdan, no a una democracia, sino a la dictadura que se vive en Turquía. Se nos arresta, deporta y detiene con al apoyo y la complicidad del Gobierno alemán. Exigimos la puesta en libertad inmediata de todas las personas prisioneras, que se respete el derecho a manifestarse y que se honren los acuerdos y la palabra dada. Pedimos a todos los sindicatos de base que alcen su voz con determinación frente a la situación que se vive ahora mismo en Erbil”.

  • [June 14, 10 a.m., Erbil] The entire peace delegation in northern Iraq is being held in its hotel today to prevent a rally and press conference in front of the UN representation in Erbil, which was promised yesterday by a government representative.

About 30 Peshmerga with assault rifles are keeping the 60-strong peace delegation in northern Iraq in their hotel. Only yesterday, the delegation met with the foreign minister of the Autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan Region (PDK) who promised the rally could take place. Currently, the detention seems to be relaxed, but all demonstrations are still banned. Other delegates are currently in custody.

Wolf Meyer, member of the international committee of the FAU: “The current actions of the government of the Iraqi Kurdistan are unworthy of official international relations and are reminiscent not of a civil democracy but of a Turkish dictatorship. We are being arrested, deported, detained – with support and acquiescence of the German government. We demand all prisoners be released, the right to demonstrate and that joint agreements be respected. We ask all trade unions to find clear words for the current situation in Erbil.”

  • Delegation of the FAU in Northern Iraq

On the road against war and for internationalism in action!
The Free Workers Union is currently participating in a large international delegation in the Autonomous Region of Kurdistan (Northern Iraq). The reason for this is the ongoing human rights crimes, military actions and provocations on the part of the Turkish government and the Barzani regime¹, which is close to the Turkish government, as well as the worsening working and living conditions for the workers of the region.

As an internationalist labour union federation, we stand with the workers and peasants all over the world against the Turkish dictatorship, which is covering the whole region of the so-called Middle East with war, destruction of nature and political oppression.

Background

The Turkish regime under dictator Recep Tayyip Erdoğan pursues a policy of annexation and ethnic cleansing². The biggest counterweight against this racist war policy is the communalist movement³. This movement is organized in Turkey, Syria and Iraq and is mainly supported by Kurds, but also Yezidis, Arabs, Turkmens, Assyrians and members of many other communities as a multi-ethnic project.

In Iraq, Turkey is currently attempting to take control of the retreat areas of communalist organizations, as well as border areas with the communalist-administered region of northern and eastern Syria (also known as Rojava). Thus, it regularly carries out bombardments on Iraqi territory against alleged or actual revolutionaries. Furthermore, the Barzani clan and the Turkish state are expanding their military presence in these areas. In recent months, over 40 military bases have been established and thousands of soldiers have been deployed to the region.

With the current attacks and air strikes, Turkey is trying to provoke an intra-Kurdish war between communalists and the Barzani regime, which is economically dependent on Turkey. This tactic aims to weaken Kurdish resistance to Turkey, cut off supply routes to northeastern Syria, and legitimize a Turkish occupation of parts of Iraq.

  • Delegación de FAU en el norte de Irak

¡En marcha contra la guerra y por el internacionalismo en acción!

FAU (Sindicato de Trabajadores y Trabajadoras Libres) participa actualmente en una gran delegación internacional a la Región Autónoma del Kurdistán (Norte de Irak). El motivo de esta es oponerse a las incesantes violaciones de los derechos humanos, las ofensivas militares y las provocaciones por parte del gobierno turco y del régimen de Barzani¹, muy próximo a aquel, así como al deterioro de las condiciones laborales y vitales de las personas trabajadoras en la región.

Como federación sindical internacionalista que es FAU, estaremos siempre junto a trabajadores y trabajadoras, campesinos y campesinas de todo el mundo, contra la dictadura turca, que siembra la guerra, la destrucción del medio ambiente y la opresión política en todo el ámbito de la región denominada Oriente Medio.

Antecedentes

El régimen turco del dictador Recep Tayyip Erdoğan lleva a cabo una política de anexión y limpieza étnica². El mayor obstáculo frente a esta expansión de la guerra racista es el movimiento del confederalismo democrático³. Este se encuentra organizado en Turquía, Siria e Irak y recibe el apoyo, principalmente, de la población kurda, pero también yazidí, árabe, turcomana, asiria y de integrantes de muchas otras comunidades, porque se trata de un proyecto multiétnico.

En Irak, el gobierno turco pretende actualmente hacerse con el control de las zonas en que se refugian las organizaciones del confederalismo democrático, así como de las regiones fronterizas con la parte del norte y el este de Siria en las que está implantado este proyecto (también conocida como Rojava). Por este motivo, bombardea de manera regular el territorio iraquí, para atacar a revolucionarios imaginados o reales. Además, el clan Barzani y el estado turco están ampliando su presencia militar en estas zonas. En los últimos meses, han establecido más de 40 bases militares y han desplegado miles de soldados en la región.
