[A-List] Re: [A-List] Argentina ¿Y ahora qué?

["Gorojovsky" <Gorojovsky@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This article by Granma does not understand Peronism, which is much more than
Menem (Menem is a political corpse now, by the way).

The article reflects the views of the petty bourgeoisie that flocks around the
stale leftish liberalism of the Argentinean Communist Party and mainstream
socialists.

It tends to substitute the road blocks for political struggle. In so doing, it
echoes the actions by the most reactionary fractions of Argentinean polity,
which are trying to blame "the political class" for the tragedy, in the same
way that they blamed "the military" for the 1976-83 regime.

The "political class", however, and Peronism in particular, harbored something
else than "Menemists". The flames of the road blocks and the masses at the
Plaza de Mayo have shaken the whole structure, and through the cracks a new
leadership is rapidly appearing.

If this leadership does not do what it is expected to do, then it will be
replaced. But not by the road blocks. By politics and massive mobilisations of
the most diverse kinds. The road blocks are just and only the union of the
unemployed. Unions cannot replace politics.

The best answer to this article by Granma is the press release by Prensa Latina
on the current President Rodríguez Saá. that I have sent to the list.

Merry Xmas to everyone and all,

Compañeros del exercito de los Andes.

...La guerra se la tenemos de hacer del modo que podamos:
sino tenemos dinero, carne y un pedazo de tabaco no nos
tiene de faltar: cuando se acaben los vestuarios, nos
vestiremos con la bayetilla que nos trabajen nuestras mugeres,
y sino andaremos en pelota como nuestros paisanos los indios:
seamos libres, y lo demás no importa nada...

...Compañeros, juremos no dejar las armas de la mano, hasta
ver el país enteramente libre, ó morir con ellas como hombres
de corage.
