[FRONT OF FLYER]
Osorno [Chile] / 2.15AM / Saturday, Nov. 2nd
“Today torrents of information are no longer about what is not
happening, about what I don’t have, about what I can’t do, nor buy, nor
aspire to because I don’t have money. Today the torrent of images which
flash on my smartphone screen are about what is happening all around me;
above all what we are suffering; above all about those who struggle;
above all about what is happening to me; about what pains me and the
anguish of the world I live in; about the misery of normality; and above
all also about everything that which here and now could be if we keep
alive this enthusiasm. At last images have meaning: it’s all about life
itself; about my life and those of everyone showing that at last we have
the opportunity to take it back. Today everything is possible.”

[BACK OF FLYER]
In light of the uprisings these past days a Leftist deputy stated on
TV that to respond to the insurrection we are living in, the [Left’s]
political bench [in parliament] must consider “how do we involve people
in a change.” It’s evident that these satraps still do not understand
anything; they are too worried about losing their jobs as dispensers of
social justice. Change is already here and it was brought by, lived in
and revived by the masses from the liveliness found in the streets, in
the squares and in the towns!
We don’t want to be integrated into anything. It is
you, you scourges, who have to join in on our change and to that end you
have to step down from your sports car. We know all too well the old
vampirization of fresh blood for the economy and of [our] power to
reheat its frozen veins. Through the experiences of students which have
sat at your dialogue tables, to just end up being deceived, we learned
that the State apparatus is a dead mechanism, which only ends up drying
up the impulse of the living with agendas and compromises, which [the
State] likes to laud.
You cannot pretend to modify some problems by way of administrative
means which created those very relations. The much talked-over
“political de-legitimacy” does not only point to the de-legitimacy of
politicians: we no longer believe in political mediation as a way of
organizing the reproduction of our lives!
We want everything. Our struggle is not based on
particular demands: we know the ecological crisis is the other side of
the social crisis; that pollution is linked to industrial production;
that industry seeks profits at all costs; that profit comes from our
servile labor and that labor produces an abstract wealth that renders us
poor. We seek to liberate ourselves from money, the commodity,
wage-labor, Capital & the State by organizing the production in
common of our very lives!”
We don’t need politicians or experts to come to show us how
to organize our lives. Our organization exists in the here and now
because this is how we have been able to survive with hunger wages.
While all the politicians and businessmen want us to “return to
normality” or “lower the fever of the situation”: we feel that we can’t
return to how it was before.
They ask us to “give them time,” that things “do not change
overnight.” But we have effectively seen how united we can change
everything; change our daily isolation, indolence; change those eternal
days at work where we feel we die, little by little, for a life that now
finds us, and compels us, onto the streets.
All of our demands can be immediately realized, but only if we realize them ourselves!
