Occupy Wall St. (support/debate)

Occupy? Smashing?

 

We need a hulk.

 

Hulk... The best Black Bloc er.

Somebody needs to draw that.

 

Speaking of whining and carrying signs, I just saw this Tweet:

People who need to go to school to learn how to be disobedient, would need years of graduate studies before they could smash anything. And by then they'd be too brainwashed to consider it.

 

It'd be like Captain Anarch@ posted earlier from Oakland. We should get all of the Avengers up in here. Gain the trust and respect of the children.

You going to be at any of these Mar?

 

Re: TPP Week of Action! July 2-7 San Diego.

Nope I distanced myself from the occupy movement back in November of last year...reformist liberalism is not for me thank you very much.

Please keep all Occupy related posts in the occupy thread...thanks.

 

Re: TPP Week of Action! July 2-7 San Diego.

Of course, but it's still fun to crash the liberals parade.

 

Re: TPP Week of Action! July 2-7 San Diego.

HA HA I can believe you guys are talking abut this, and I can believe I went to a planning meeting for this last night. - So in the car to the meeting a communist and 3 anarchists - the meeting was so boring!

JesusCrust are you or do you know people from from your neck of the woods that are coming down for this? people in San Diego are planning to crash the party...

Like half the people there were from the local Occupy.

My joke of the night was:

Who's most afraid of Anarchists? - Windows!

 

Fun for you, maybe. I'm 72 and I've had serious health problems. I've had high blood pressure, respiratory distress, and severe hives. But as soon as I left Occupy San Diego, everything cleared up completely. It seems that I'm allergic to liberals. At my age it isn't a good idea to risk one's health for frivolous reasons.

The TPP has already been negotiated. This is just a signing ceremony and a few protests aren't going to stop it. If they were forced out of San Diego, they'd just do it someplace else.

 

Liberalism: Changing nothing, one protest at a time.



Attack fails sometimes, but waiting fails always. Attack!

 

My heart lies much more here...than anywhere near Occupy...




Coordinación Revolucionaria Libertad lanza nuevo comunicado

Seis organizaciones guerrilleras que integran la Coordinación Revolucionaria por la Libertad: Movimiento Revolucionario Lucio Cabañas Barrientos (MRLCB), Tendencia Democrática Revolucionaria-Ejército del Pueblo (TDR-EP), Brigadas de Ajusticiamiento 2 de Diciembre (BA 2D), Organización Insurgente 1 de Mayo (OI 1M), Brigadas Populares de Liberación (BPL) y Unidad Popular Revolucionaria Magonista (UPRM)

A los medios de comunicación electrónicos e impresos:
De nueva cuenta comunicamos que algunas de las organizaciones que de 2006 a la fecha desarrollamos diversas actividades político-militares, hemos decidido abrir un nuevo ciclo en el que los Manifiestos que seguiremos emitiendo no llevarán el nombre de cada una las organizaciones que los suscriben, sino sólo una consigna y un nombre para la coordinación.

En esta ocasión les enviamos el Manifiesto a la Nación #2 de este nuevo ciclo.

Agradecemos de antemano su atención.

¡Por la unidad y la emancipación del pueblo!
COORDINACIÓN REVOLUCIONARIA LIBERTAD


MANIFIESTO A LA NACIÓN #2

Al pueblo de México

A los pueblos de América Latina y el mundo

En medio de una verdadera catástrofe social, la cúpula empresarial y política del país ha decidido imponer a toda costa al próximo presidente de la república y conservar la mayoría en el congreso, con el objeto de profundizar la privatización de los bienes nacionales, reforzar el autoritarismo estatal y garantizar la desenfrenada acumulación de capital.

Esta decisión política significa que la maquinaria para consumar un nuevo fraude electoral se encuentra en marcha y puesta a funcionar a todo lo que da.

De esta ominosa decisión dan cuenta una serie de hechos entre los que destacan la campaña de terror que ha significado durante seis años la supuesta guerra contra el narcotráfico, el bombardeo mediático instrumentado por el duopolio televisivo y algunos otros medios electrónicos e impresos, las preferencias fabricadas a modo por encuestadoras privadas, la sumisa actuación del IFE, el acarreo, la compra y la coacción del voto; todo esto a favor de Enrique Peña Nieto, candidato del PRI, así como a favor de otras candidaturas al congreso y a la titularidad de algunos gobiernos estatales y presidencias municipales, candidaturas pactadas entre distintos partidos, incluidos los de la izquierda electoral.

No obstante, una serie creciente de movilizaciones y protestas protagonizadas por diferentes sujetos sociales, están poniendo en cuestión el uso faccioso de las instituciones estatales y la subordinación de la política a las necesidades del capital, tratando de cerrar el paso a este nuevo atentado fraudulento y golpista.

El origen de la mayoría de estas movilizaciones se encuentra en el dolor, la indignación y el hartazgo social que la voracidad, la prepotencia y el cinismo de la clase empresarial y los funcionarios corruptos han generado a lo largo y ancho del país; hartazgo que vienen acumulándose por lo menos desde las brutales represiones perpetradas por el antiguo régimen estatal desarrollista, hasta las masacres cometidas por los gobierno priistas y panistas bajo el actual régimen neoliberal.

Tragedias como la sucedida en Pasta de Conchos, o en la Guardería ABC, o como las que siguen viviendo las familias de las asesinadas de Juárez, o los familiares de los más de 10 mil desaparecidos y de los más de 80 mil asesinados bajo la gestión calderonista; asesinatos, torturas y desapariciones forzadas cometidas contra ciudadanos, periodistas, luchadores sociales y militantes revolucionarios; represiones policiacas como las ejecutadas contra los trabajadores de Sicartsa, los comuneros de Atenco, la APPO, La Otra Campaña, los ecologistas de Guerrero, los comuneros de Cherán, Wirikuta y contra cientos de comunidades indígenas (por mencionar sólo algunos de los acontecimientos y de los movimientos o sectores sobre los que se ha ensañado el abuso del dinero y del poder), han puesto a flor de piel el conflicto que escinde a la sociedad mexicana y han agotado la capacidad que había tenido el capital para realizarse sin tener que recurrir abierta y permanentemente a la violencia y a la guerra, sacudiendo millones de conciencias y haciendo ver la necesidad de un cambio en la dirección y administración de la vida pública del país, aunque la mayoría de la población aún no coincida en los medios o vías para lograrlo.

Justo en este contexto, la irrupción y el eficaz despliegue del movimiento #YoSoy132 ha venido a reanimar la lucha contra la imposición, actualizando las luchas pasadas y posibilitando la articulación de las luchas presentes, al coincidir con un gran número de ciudadanos y organizaciones sociales en la necesidad de vigilar que los poderes fácticos respeten la voluntad popular en la actual contienda electoral, y reconocer ésta como alternativa viable para democratizar pacíficamente la vida pública del país.

Esto ha generado reservas y condenas entre quienes consideran reformista toda participación en la lucha electoral, en momentos en que el dilema político al que nos lleva la catástrofe neoliberal no está en decidir entre Reforma o Revolución, sino entre Revolución o Barbarie, sin que esto signifique aceptar las prácticas oportunistas que marcan el mundo de la “política real”.

La revolución no es un acto voluntarista, sino un proceso en el que los seres humanos, al ejercer nuestra libertad, podemos ser capaces de transformar desde la raíz el conjunto de nuestras relaciones, para interrumpir la barbarie y la devastación que el indetenible enriquecimiento de unos cuantos, y la aspiración al “progreso” interiorizada por la mayoría, ha impuesto a la vida social y a la historia.

En consecuencia, si pretendemos incorporar a la revolución al mayor número de voluntades individuales y colectivas es necesario utilizar las mismas leyes e instituciones que norman la lucha electoral y llevarlas al límite de sus posibilidades, para poner alto a la violencia criminal e institucional y dar lugar a un proceso político nacional efectivamente democrático, sin perder de vista que la clave de la transformación social profunda no está en dichas leyes y mucho menos en sus instituciones, sino en el establecimiento, desde abajo, de nuevos ordenamientos que garanticen otra forma de cohesión y convivencia humana; una forma social no capitalista, autónoma, autogestiva, autosustentable y capaz de desarrollar sus propias formas de autodefensa.

Por todo lo antes dicho, al tiempo de reiterar la postura de las organizaciones que integran esta coordinación de seguir formando parte del actual movimiento democratizador y de acompañar, con nuestras propias formas de lucha, las acciones que tengan que darse para cerrar el paso a la actual intentona golpista, hacemos un llamado a las organizaciones populares, democráticas y revolucionarias del país a la reflexión, la discusión y la articulación política fraterna, con el objeto de responder a los altos requerimientos del momento político actual.

NOVA, I think so. Not so much radicals though. I have a few radical friends from around here, but they're mostly doing shit in LA, or they went off the map as far as I'm aware. Not much radical organization here in OC, but I'm working on that...

I'm still deciding if I want to go down to SD for the TPP thing, just to shake it up a bit. I don't want to go and be the only one there going "A Las Barricadas!"

 

I don't know if i should be responding to this here or in the Yo Soy 132 thread in spanish or the one in english, i created, so new moderators don't ban me yet punkmar77 wrote his thoughts here so ill add to it here...

Mexico - Elections - Neo-liberalism - Enrique Pena Nieto - Manuel Lopres Obrador - an uncertain future...

I was talking to a cop south of the border at a Yo Soy 132 (I Am 132) march, and he asked me if i supported them, i said well all they want is voters to be aware of the politics of the time and for people to be aware of who is running so they can make the right choice in who they vote for. I asked him if he was in favor of that and he said yes of course. And then i added no matter who wins nothing is going to change. And the cop agreed with that too. And then i said the more interesting question is what will happen to Yo Soy 132 when they realize that electoral politics will not change anything? What will Yo Soy 132 do?

So the US Economy is functioning as planned and jobs are being shipped to other places were labor is cheaper and immigration policies are being enforced and hundreds of thousands of people are returning to Mexico. One can no longer just escape ones country and must return and maybe its time to start to fight for change where one was born.

I just saw a news report and in mexico police departments and the military are getting ready for the elections, so they will be on the streets and ready as the transfer of power goes to Enrique Pena Nieto (the candiate from the right), the one who bought the election. So the election is on sunday and by monday they will have an official winner and a semi police state in place to keep the population down...

...but it will have only just begun

...I to wonder what will happen

Ha I know some anarchists are planning stuff, maybe just showing up on saturday for the pot and pans march and maybe go to some of the workshops, if you got the time and can come down why not? meet some @ from SD... And get some skills banging on pots, i think they are gonna try and get beats down so people will be marching down the streets banging on some beats...

And if you get there and it sucks, fuck it don't go "A Las Baricadas" but instead go "A Las Playas" traslation: "To The Beach"

 

Yes, that speaks to my heart too, Mar.

Maybe people south of the border are smarter, Nova, but most people here when they realize that voting won't change anything, go right on voting. I think it might be like people who no longer believe in god, but keep right on going to church. It's some kind of social thing, I think.

 

I heard from a friend from SD, who has been staying up in LA, that SD is requesting radicals, black bloc, etc. on the 7th to shake things up a bit. They want a lot of people there. I'll most likely be there, just need to find a ride. I guess I'll be seeing you then?
