The sad truth about Argentina

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Sunday October 27, 2002 13:17author by Carlos Alfonso - Argentina - IMC Report this post to the editors

Being Argentinian I can tell you. All I can see happening is a fascist coup at anytime. There is absolutely no organisation here, but anarchy. The people are unarmed and there is no leadership. There are frequent assassinations and "dissappearances" committed by state agents and the left here are divided. The situation is being overestimated and exploited by trotskyists and anarchists. Please help spread the truth.

In solidarity,
Carlos Alfonso
Argentina IMC.

Ná leathnaigh do bhrat muna féidir leat á chosaint.

= Don't unfurl your flag if you are unable to defend it

Many of my friends and protesting / campaigning comrades are argentinian.
Not a single one wanted to leave Argentina, they were all forced by failed "Dollarisation" policies.
They have brought to Europe and the rest of the spanish speaking world, realism, experience and wisdom.
I know of no-one who pretends that the current situation in Argentina is good.
However when attention is drawn to the two day "revolt" of almost tewn months ago, it is meant to provoke thought amongst those who either read the reports or see the videos along the lines of;
"What would I do, if hyper-capitalism failed on my high street?".
Anarcho-sydicalist groupings in Argentina helped many to share food and precious resources in the wake of the economic collapse of that country.
Anarcho-syndicalist groupings in Europe and the rest of South America helped many refugees to find homes, papers or bypass the "illegal/alien" status.
I don´t honestly believe any of us are "exploiting" the current situation. Could you post a comment perhaps and explain a specific example?

Yes I think your quote below is international the trotskyites here are constantly proclaiming that the workers are going on strike and other examples of wishful thinking based on nothing except whatever their current nutty leader sees when he examines the entrails:
"The situation is being overestimated and exploited by trotskyists and anarchists. Please help spread the truth."
