(en) Brazil, FAG-CAB: THE LIBERTICIDES OF THE EXTREME RIGHT (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Tue, 11 Jun 2024 08:19:22 +0300


Libertarians since the first workers' struggles have been supporters of radical equality with the abolition of private property and the affirmation of all political freedoms in a federalist regime that is organized from the bottom up, through communes, workplaces and branches of production. Socialism has always been the libertarian's construction site, the construction of a society without exploiters or the exploited, where social power would not be usurped by a bureaucratic or dictatorial elite, whatever its name.
The freedom to go hungry and sink helplessly into the free-for-all of the property owners' market is a bad joke. Poverty is freedom from nothing. And "anyone who attacks or destroys the freedoms of a people" according to any dictionary is a liberticide.

The election of Javier Milei and his neoliberal shock government in Argentina plants an imposture that has been part of the extreme right's weapons, in this reactionary wave that advances in the terrain of multiple crises that affects the capitalist world. Disinform, confuse, distort, create misunderstandings in this game, to have effects in your favor or take over words and concepts that are strong ideas that sail in the imaginary current of the dreams and rebellions of our people.

In this field of struggle, it is quite certain that there are opportunists on duty, those vermin of the oligarchic system who move by the smell of money and power, no matter what anyone says. But there are also clever formulators and cadres of a liberating market doctrine, which has its own social project and seeks to impose itself on the political scene. Among those at the bottom, of course, there are a lot of people deceived or deceived by Milei's speech and the most angry right-wingers. However, a more careful reading of this phenomenon advises not to ignore the ideological effects of a frustrated popular experience that progressive governments and left-wing parties are increasingly soft and adjusted to the bourgeois order of neoliberalism.

There is a diffuse meaning of malaise in our societies that the extreme right calls for and organizes with a radical proposal that the left renounces with its commitments and negotiations with the established world. But what is radical in this case is the offensive struggle of property, with a police state and the technocracy of pilot tuning. To make it clear: a maximum program for capitalists and all the means to govern and fiercely attack popular demands and any risk of power that comes from below over decisions for the common good.

Milei's "freedom" is the market devouring everything with the trigger of the police state

Freedom! say out loud Milei and the extreme right that rises to government through the elections of bourgeois liberal democracy. Bolsonaro now plays the integralist-rooted cliché to his fans: "god, country, family and freedom". An apparent type of "freedom", very casual and suspicious, which has its hands tied with privilege and injustice, as Bakunin vaccinated in the face of the regime of exploitation and inequality of the capitalist system.

It has been a while since the crisis and emergency were normalized, since an aggressive mode of government was established as a neoliberal regime practiced to break the popular gains that have historically placed some limit on greed and oppression. Bourgeois freedom figures in this relationship of forces as the private and supreme right of capital to establish the market, competition and the company as a social model. To liquidate everything that opposes this, and not to suppress but to articulate the State with this logic, for the security and reproduction of this way of life.

The ultracapitalist J. Milei begins his government with a repressive package to face the social protest against his program. It prohibits pickets, occupations, bureaucratizes and polices the right to demonstrate to nullify methods of popular direct action. And with the other hand it applies a brutal squeeze on the lives of the poor with work stoppages, tariff increases, budget freezes, employee dismissals and the dismantling of the public service in the face of a scenario with inflation of more than 290% per year and half of population in poverty.

Neoliberal security state. Counterinsurgency law and order for poverty and protest.

Adjustment and repression, militarization of the public scene as we saw in Brazil, a harsh hand against the internal enemy that does not adapt to the rules of the market, these are two facets that articulate and make up the government practices of neoliberal capitalism, with a much higher level of violence on the periphery of the world system. No end of the state or other nonsense, but another articulation of this instance with the economy and the social. A strong and more authoritarian State to police the protest, a legal order to adjust institutions and society according to the market game, not allowing popular agendas to have any decision that goes against dominant interests.
