américa del norte / méxico / la izquierda Monday May 14, 2012 23:09 by Municipio de Cherán
24, 25, 26 y 27 de mayo 2012. Cheran K´eri, municipio autónomo, Michoacán, México. Frente a la situación de descomposición política, económica y social que atraviesa el país, en la que presenciamos un intenso y acelerado despojo de la tierra, del territorio y de los bienes naturales; frente a la creciente precarización del empleo y de los derechos de los trabajadores, a la exclusión cada vez mayor de los sistemas educativos, a la marginación y a la cultura dominante que enseña a desear la riqueza económica a toda costa; ante el contexto electoral y la situación de emergencia provocada por la clase política –actor estratégico del pacto con el capital criminal- que no da soluciones a la violencia inaudita que azota a nuestro país y la crisis de las izquierdas, consideramos necesario visibilizar y fortalecer a los pueblos organizados y a los luchadores sociales, a las alternativas que existimos abajo, con formas muy distintas de hacer política: desde el pueblo mismo, sin malos gobiernos, sin corporaciones transnacionales, sin el capital criminal, respetándonos y articulándonos en la construcción de modos de vida digna, en Autonomía y Libertad. Por esto, convocamos al ENCUENTRO NACIONAL DE RESISTENCIAS AUTÓNOMAS ANTICAPITALISTAS en un formato de campamento. Un esfuerzo para encontrarnos, escucharnos, conocernos, compartir experiencias, saberes y sentires y así lograr un intercambio entre las autonomías anticapitalistas sobre los distintos modos de organizarnos ante los ataques del Estado y del capital; con una convocatoria abierta a todas y todos quienes quieran participar, buscamos generar un espacio de encuentro y diálogo que muestre el valor de las organizaciones, colectivos, movimientos, comunidades, hombres y mujeres dign@s frente a los acontecimientos internacionales, y frente a la situación nacional donde unos cuantos buscan disputarse el control del país.

En sus distintas labores como intelectual comprometido el profesor Renán ha participado en infinitas charlas, conferencias y seminarios ante estudiantes, trabajadoras, profesoras, en general miles de personas interesadas en el cambio social, contribuyendo enormemente al afianzamiento del pensamiento crítico en la academia en el país. Rechazamos decididamente las campañas difamatorias y las amenazas contra el profesor Renán, nos solidarizamos con él y todas las personas perseguidas por pensar en el territorio colombiano y llamamos a la defensa del pensamiento crítico, condición fundamental para el avance de un proceso de cambio social libertario en Colombia.

For many people on the left, within and outside of Southern Africa, the ‘Bolivarian Revolution’ is seen as a beacon of socialist hope in a sea of capitalist despair. The reason why many leftists feel so strongly attached to this project, and promote it as an alternative, is because they have come to view it as a move by the Venezuelan state towards creating a genuine, free form of socialism or at the very least an experiment that profoundly breaks with the tenets of neo-liberalism.This article, however, questions the assumption that the Venezuelan state is embarking upon a path to create a truly egalitarian and free socialist society. It will, therefore, be argued that Venezuela is not in a transitional phase to socialism; rather it is a capitalist country where the private sector and important state-owned companies seek to maximise profits.It is argued that while some welfare is handed out by the State, this often sits side by side with other policies that are outright neo-liberal. In order to make the argument that Venezuela cannot be considered as heading in a socialist direction, this article engages and examines issues around the State’s nationalisation programme, its relations to multinational corporations, its community councils project and its social service programmes.

Global Crisis; American NightmareA global economic crisis has brought a new Great Depression to the doorsteps of working class families. While the corporations, government officials, and bureaucracies are experiencing record profits and compensation, those who are least able to pay are expected to shoulder the majority of the burden. This collapse is placed upon the backs of workers, and even more to the most oppressed in working class communities, for example: working class women, immigrants, blacks, and latinos. Despite the promises of a Democratic congress and presidency, deportations of undocumented immigrants have dramatically increased since Obama took office, tearing communities apart and criminalizing whole populations. If we don’t fight back, the crisis may drive a permanent decline in our standard of living, deepen the domination over the oppressed, and widen the gaps in American society.But people are coming together and finding ways to support and struggle alongside each other in ways that haven’t been seen in generations. The potential of a mobilized, conscious, and active movement frightens those in power, and they are pouring money, resources, and repression into diverting potential movements. People all over the world are building new struggles: turning vacant foreclosures into homes, resisting tuition hikes and worsening education in universities, fighting cuts and injustice at work, resisting ICE deportations and challenging second class status for immigrants, launching fare strikes on transit against service cuts and fare hikes, and resisting racialized police brutality and violence against oppressed communities. Attempts to coopt these potential movements are coming out of the unions who fear changes in the comfortable relationships they have with management, from the NGOs who are funded by and keep their jobs through all those who profit off our suffering, and from the political machinery that wants to channel our anger into their careers.
