A-Infos (en) Brazil, Capixaba, FACA: Precarious life, raised fist: organize or die (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Enough. Enough of waiting for the savior in a suit, the union hand in 
hand with the boss, the politician who will give us a hand while the 
other stabs us in the back. Enough of watching, of lamenting, of sharing 
opinion pieces and thinking that this is a fight. Passivity is our true 
executioner. It is the saliva that lubricates the guillotine. ---- Look 
around. Precariousness is not an accident, it's a project. Your salary 
that doesn't even cover meat, your rent that eats up three-quarters of 
the month, your life time exchanged for crumbs and a burnout certificate 
- all orchestrated. Wars are not the madness of a few: they are 
business. Every bomb that explodes far away is financed by the same 
banks that deny you credit, by the same funds that buy your debt, by the 
same governments that call us a "threat" when we raise a black flag.

And the bourgeois decadence? Look at the spectacle. Celebrities selling 
anxiety as a lifestyle, influencers preaching resilience to those who 
have nothing to eat, a culture that transforms despair into 
entertainment. The enemy isn't just in the factory, the barracks, or the 
palace. It's inside our heads when we believe that "there's no way out," 
that "that's just how it is," that the most we can do is vote and pray.

Lies.

The answer won't come from above. It never has. It will come from us, 
from our sweaty fists, our aching backs, our sleepless nights sewing 
tarps for barricades or printing pamphlets at the comrade's print shop, 
risking their lives. The answer is struggle. And struggle without 
organization is a spasm.

Therefore, for May Day 2026, I don't want to see institutional flags 
hoisted by bureaucrats in ties. I want to see neighborhood assemblies, 
pickets at the doors of the warehouses that operate, a general strike 
starting at 6 a.m. I want to see work stopped, production interrupted, 
the deafening silence of machines that only shut up when we command them 
to. I want to see the precarious workers - delivery drivers, outsourced 
workers, intermittent workers, the "rights-less" - discovering that 
power lies in the streets, not in the app.

Organization is not bureaucracy. It's recognizing the comrade beside 
you, knowing who to trust when the tear gas falls. It's having a plan, a 
resistance fund, a printing press, a human telegraph. It's learning from 
those who came before - the anarchists who fell in factories, in the 
fields, in civil wars - and applying it to our time. The enemy has 
artificial intelligence and satellites. We have what they will never 
have: the certainty that the land belongs to those who put their feet 
and sweat on it.

May 1st, 2026: let's stop the world. Not with requests, not with 
petitions, not with light marches authorized by the city hall. Let's 
stop it with direct action. The day when no trucks circulate, no garbage 
is collected, no classes are taught, no dishes are washed in 
restaurants. The day when the bourgeoisie looks out the window and hears 
the silence of production at a standstill - the most terrifying noise 
that exists for those who live by exploitation.

The precarization of life only wins when we accept crumbs in exchange 
for peace. Wars only continue while the working class kills each other 
for little flags. Decadence is only bearable while we anesthetize 
ourselves with consumption and futility.

Our cry is not for "inclusion" in the system. Our cry is for the end of 
the system.

Organize or be annihilated. Fight or rot.

May 1st, 2026, the earth trembles. And it won't be an earthquake. It 
will be our boots on the asphalt.

Precarious lives, not one more minute of passivity. To the streets, 
comrades. The future doesn't wait - it takes hold.

Liberto Herrera.
