is for our children, no tenim 'nothing
Woman interviewed by Amaro Gomez-Pablos during looting in Concepción
We are in widespread disaster. In it the media as ideological players have managed to fulfill its role. From February 28 early today, they have been covering the "newness" of the moment: The populations of the cities hardest hit by the earthquake in Chile, in bulk have gone into the various places where there are goods that can meet their most urgent, ie shops, supermarkets, and have taken these goods, suited as measure of despair at the progress of the dispossession. Now, at the same time of the looting, a journalist Chilevisión impressed that "people are not carrying items of first order," sinvergüenzura reporting of crime and people who run with plasmas, thousands of rolls of toilet paper, shoes and other . Large numbers of people are happy with what they have acquired. Is now where is able to reveal the many social contradictions generated by capitalism, in which the consequences of natural disasters are rooted in social, and in what seemed at some point it becomes illegal in a common desire, it becomes in a response against Capital.
Looting in different parts of Chile, have turned into riots against the good and against their world. They are the people of our country-like criminal gangs, but, more radically, being the people to the point of total dispossession, which can not be trusted in the hope of reaching a solution by itself, taken at face value the propaganda of modern capitalism and its publicity of abundance. They want all the items on display and available in the abstract, because they want to use. That is why objections to its exchange value, the commercial reality that is their mold, their motivation and ultimate goal, and that you have selected all. Through theft and gift are the people then use that belies the oppressive rationality of the commodity, exposing the arbitrary and unnecessary use of their relationships and their manufacture it. Also
looting has shown the summary of the first embodiment bastard "To each according to their false needs', needs determined and produced by the economic system just rejects the looting. But since this abundance is taken at face value and reach in the immediate
, instead of chasing indefinitely in the race of alienated labor and the growth of deferred social needs, real desires are expressed and at the party, in the playful assertion. The man who steals goods demonstrates human superiority against them. Not remain a prisoner of arbitrary forms which has taken the image of its necessity. In places where the debris abound Chile (and elsewhere where they have fallen), there has been consumption over the collapse of the ideology
commercial. Large refrigerators and stolen by people plasmas had no electricity is the best picture of the lie of wealth that has turned into really at stake. Commodity production, when the buying stops, it gets criticized and modified in all the particular forms it has assumed. Only when you pay with cash, as a sign of rank in the survival, respected as an admirable fetish.
is collapsing society which has then his natural response to the looting, but this was not any way an abundance of natural and human, but an abundance of goods
. And the looting, by which immediately undermines the commodity as such, also shows the ultima ratio
of goods: the army, police and other specialized bodies in the state hold a monopoly of armed violence. So what is a cop? Is the active server of the goods, is the man entirely subject to the goods, through whose this or that product of human labor remains a commodity whose magic is that it will pay, not just an ordinary refrigerator or plasma, a blind thing, passive and insensitive, at the mercy of anyone who uses it. Behind the indignity of relying on the police, the villagers rejected the indignity of depending on the goods. Desperate people have chosen another quality of this, has defended the police, in Concepcion, Quilicura, in Temuco, has sought ways of resistance to dispossession, and found the answer in widespread looting.
Now we must add other factors to consider: no coincidence that most families have been affected by capitalism, in turn, the most affected by this natural disaster, the sample from the contradiction of architectural goods, which the cheapest are not kept up, and a myriad of issues that are necessary in a more thorough analysis. . Then we can see on the basis of the above that the widespread disaster, the social action of the dominated classes have revealed the contradictions of the Capital ... now is to deepen, if we can resist, we must now organize Why? To overcome the dispossession dispossession is not the initiator in the earthquake, but in the system of commodity capitalism. We must create networks of communication and mutual support, disseminate both the expropriated goods as useful information to this social catastrophe, to create ties to the people ... and not to return to normal, but to overcome it.
The disaster was not the earthquake, is the Capital! Top people of Concepcion, Temuco, and all the places in Chile that resists the damage of Capital and the earthquake, recovering what business someday I will steal! boredom and anarchist communism or barbarism! Looting as an expression of real disaster: capital
