The economy is not war.
Around war, increasingly closer to war, in everyday war, to survive war, what is the economy if not war. We have been accustomed to an economy based on relations of expropriation, accumulation and oppression, and although we are soaked with an ethical attitude against war, it seems to us normal to be surrounded by wars caused by adverse economic relations. We will always find a supervillain that makes necrocapitalism acceptable. Because we have embraced the hegemonic values of the capitalist economy, competition, the market and capital are the main instruments for governing our societies, even if that requires wars. Because that's the economy, right? No.
"We will have to continue to create projects to build independent territories so that, from the bottom, starting with the ground, the lives are every day livable for all"
It is time to properly designate the capitalist economy. Based on the relationships of expropriation, accumulation and oppression, an exhausted model that will complete its entire life before the approval of decay. That's war and not economics.
So in these times of polarization, let's accept collapse, the end. We are not going to choose in the market, we are not going to bet on the humanitarian warrior, nor on the one who uses the cumulative power of the workers to wage war on the citizens. We do not want the central road, what we want is the end, so that life stays on the ground.
The territory of relationships based on cooperation, where cooperative humanity lives, is another dimension for some, the everyday reality for many. Relationships are built with radical solidarity, resources are common and needs are articulated from the moral economy. The economy is made by self-formed instruments to collectively meet needs and desires, through the accumulation of relations between equals. Ecology, feminism and independent work define communal territory through free relationships and bonds of commitment. It's an economy for life. Economy.
“We’re going to end all of this, and we’ll never forget to enjoy the most beautiful and the best,” Rosa Luxenburg, the communist comburent and therefore militant of the war, wrote at the narrowest moments. We're going to end all of this and we're going to continue to create projects to build independent territories so that, from the bottom, starting from the ground, lives are every day livable for everyone. Returning to new relationships and working on emancipations, also after the collapse we have a long way to recover the economy, but there is no other way for prosperity to be for all.

In this frenetic and vertiginous world in which we live, the social changes that take place little by little seem to us to be sometimes imperceptible, irrelevant or insignificant. That is not the case, however, and we have to be aware of it in order to act wisely. An example of... [+]
On Sunday of September it is customary to climb to Ernio, dance in Zelatun and eat brown chorizo, or something. The worst time you don't need people. This year, when my friends were leaving earlier and I was delaying, I would go up alone, finding the crews coming down. Most young... [+]
In the border book of The House on Mango Street, written by Sandra Cisneros, a character's dog has two names: one in Spanish and one in English. It may be odd at first sight, even for a book, but if you think more calmly, you realize that the world is full of double names. And I... [+]

As in the Middle Ages God dominated, in modern times we live under the market and its rigid laws. The high level wages are determined by the market, as the prizes of the CEOs of Iberdrola or BBVA mark the markets of their sector, although they take 300 times more to the bag than... [+]

Isn't it a sign of pride to look at the people in front of me as if they weren't people? Yes, of course yes. But how can we expect others to understand? Understand, observe, look. Does wanting to understand others not require this proud attitude? Knowing what it is to be a person,... [+]
They say it's been a year. I have never understood the arrogant habit that Westerners have: even if the conflict lasts almost a century, we adapt the dates to our liking, giving away the importance we want. Has the last era been different for the Palestinians who are imprisoned... [+]
