Let us imagine that in Warsaw there is a massive concentration calling for the signing of an agreement with the ALBA association. The march has also included ambassadors and members of the Government of Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba, Ecuador and Russia, among others. They insist that the government is not democratic (although most democratic indices say otherwise) and that human rights are not being properly respected (although the police have not used the traditional rubber balls and rubber bullets).
Ordinary people predominate among those mobilized, but the organisation is mainly the workers of the NGOs that Cuba has subsidised for years. The latter usually earn twice the national average wage. The mobilisations were peaceful at first, although many racist and Nazi collaborationist flags could be found, gradually becoming violent: some protesters have used pistols, organised into paramilitary forces, occupied public buildings and placed extreme right-wing symbols. Between the deaths there are two policemen and one militant from the German and Dutch extreme right. There are many things about the deaths to be clarified, some talking about the para-police forces, others about the paramilitary forces surrounding the protesters (to encourage outside intervention). In any event, the Government has not decreed a state of emergency and has announced its readiness to return to the negotiations again and again.
Many of the sins attributed to the Warsaw Government are among the dawn countries (and even worse), but these are not in the media, as Russia manages the world media agenda. In Minsk there have been mobilisations against the agreement signed by Belarus with dawn, which were relatively wider than those in Warsaw and non-violent, but has not drawn the attention of the media. If anyone had any doubts, in recent days the US intelligence services have recorded a conversation between the Russian ambassador and the Deputy Foreign Minister of this country: the Deputy Minister cursed ALBA and made it clear that his country is intervening in the internal affairs of Poland. There has been a bit of a stir in the countries of dawn, but the Deputy Minister has quickly asked for pardon at dawn, not Poland of course.
The objective conditions for protest and rebellion have long existed in Ukraine. After the disappearance of the Soviet Union, the majority of the country ' s inhabitants have experienced poverty and corruption closely, always for the benefit of the oligarchs who stole the country ' s wealth. The 1990s was a nightmare, and in the 21st century, as soon as we get better, things got complicated in the years when Western orange amateurs monopolized power. The crisis hit Ukraine hard. The International Monetary Fund “rescued” the country and imposed harsh economic conditions.
However, although objective conditions exist, subjective conditions in Ukraine are not the most appropriate for a profound social transformation: transformative political consciousness is not entrenched, mass organizations are lacking and the country is ethnically divided. But, in the presence of objective conditions, it is not difficult for people to go out into the streets, if we know how to make good use of social pain. For this, NGOs that subsidize the Western empires are always available. It's not a myth, it's real and tests can be counted by tens.

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.

This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
In recent years, the concept of industrial policy has reappeared strongly at various levels. The organization that was the hammer of neoliberalism, the International Monetary Fund, today insists that markets have been pressured to allocate resources efficiently and solve these... [+]
The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]
Zalantza asko izan ditut, meloia ireki ala ez. Ausartuko naiz, zer demontre! Aspaldian buruan dudan gogoeta jarri nahi dut mahai gainean: ez da justua erditu den emakumearen eta beste gurasoaren baimen-iraupena bera izatea. Hobeto esanda, baimen-denbora bera izanda ere, ez... [+]
We are in the midst of a world imperialist offensive led by the Western bourgeoisie. The form that the imperialist offensive has taken is that of war, with all its variants: economic war, cognitive and cultural war, lawfarr; and, of course, military war. Western imperialism has... [+]
I just saw a series from another sad detective. All the plots take place on a remote island in Scotland. You know how these fictions work: many dead, ordinary people but not so many, and the dark green landscape. This time it reminded me of a trip I made to the Scottish... [+]
To be honest, I don't know why I'm writing this. In today’s hostile environment, opinions of this kind are not well received. Perhaps LUZ will not publish this because it does not correspond to the opinions they have published so far (but if they have finally decided to publish... [+]

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.
The strike model that I was taught is no longer in vogue, it seems. In my... [+]
Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
