The future of all is at stake in Palestine.
We are seeing the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Israel against Palestine, directly and through television. We are witnessing the killing of thousands of people, the bombing of hospitals and schools and eleven forced displacement, with the justification and complicity of the “International Community”, in the name of the “right to Israel’s defence against terrorism”.
A few years ago it would be unthinkable to name the Palestinian people as a terrorist. A few years ago, no one would question the right of the Palestinian people to rebellion against Zionist colonialism, which is also recognised by the bourgeois of law. In fact, this right is recognized in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 and has been promulgated several times by the UN itself.
Because adherence to the Palestinian resistance means supporting the possibility of fighting and emancipation of all the public workers in the world.
How has the paradigm shift materialized? To find an answer, we should turn to the 2000s, the ideological and cultural well that left the imperialist offensive against global terrorism. With the imposition of that anti-terrorist paradigm, imperialism de facto abolished the right to rebellion and resistance. The right to resistance was achieved thanks to the power relations between the classes of the twentieth century, as a concrete and socialist right, opposed to abstract bourgeois rights. It is the right that our class imposes on the bourgeoisie through the fight against fascism and anti-colonial struggles; since the 1960s it has been the basis of national and social liberation struggles and the principle of global internationalist struggle.
Today, however, we are witnessing the disintegration of this right. As Marx said “in the clash of rights, force decides”, and today imperialism has reimposed its right: the right to colonize and expropriate. And what comes up against this is a “terrorist.”
In Palestine, we have seen the most brutal consequences of changing this paradigm: Israel’s supremacist and colonial state is recognised as a “right to defence” and the Palestinian people fighting colonialism and apartheid are declared “terrorist”. And all this transcends the borders of Palestine and becomes a warning to all the public workers of the world: imperialism has rejected the right to resistance by burying itself under the “rules-based world” of the Western collective.
For all these reasons, solidarity with Palestine, without any kind of nuance, is an undisputed obligation of the working class of the world, because accession to the Palestinian resistance means protecting the possibility of the fight and emancipation of all the working peoples of the world.

Much of the current left-wing movement, albeit intuitively, claims small-scale agriculture, without any doubt. However, this claim for smallness has its contradictions: a small farm, by definition, will not be able to produce a lot of food. And is that important? Well, in a... [+]

One student told me once we studied a text: “The character is sick: the thought moves in his head.” Obviously, with this phrase, he misplaced the comment he had in his mind, that is, that the imbecility of the character was noticed in his continuous reflections. However,... [+]
Saying goodbye to something or someone is usually an act related to abandonment, the end and, ultimately, the grieving process. I'm sure you would ever, or you'd hear someone, tell them the typical, topical phrase of "I don't like greetings." And I don't want to fool you, not even I've... [+]
The smell asked for a gesture, but since it had not done so (no other smell could be expected), neither did the others. “No, no, they’re not all. There are no living parts, I have not left anyone alive, for example, without lips (have you seen? ). They seemed perfect until... [+]

Conservative mentalities are afraid of the term planning, linking with progressive and even communist political currents, as the new authoritarianisms do today (Milei, Meono, Orban, Aznar, among others). However, the idea of planning is still in good health, at least formally... [+]

When I published my first book of poems, they offered me a recital at a university. The musician charged in money and I was given a book about Jorge Oteiza, which I didn't take because I was in my house. This was the first of the unacceptable requests that I have accepted. It was... [+]
