"On the scale of the planet, the name for the problem is capitalism; from the vantage point of the individual, the name for it is work. Your personal struggle to resist the ways that work exhausts and degrades you is a microcosm of our species’ struggle to escape the global feedback loop that is propelling us into oppression, war, and ecological catastrophe."

Perspectives from Chile on the Plebiscite of 2022

https://crimethinc.com/ChilePlebiscite

In these interviews, Chilean participants in social movements reflect on the road from the uprising of 2019 to the defeat of the proposed new constitution.

A deep dive.

In October 2019, an uprising exploded throughout Chile. For a while, the police and armed forces lost control. Seeking to placate the rebels, the government announced a plebiscite about whether to replace the constitution, a relic of the far-right dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. A majority of the parties in congress drew up a roadmap for this process, calling it the “Agreement for Social Peace.” In May 2021, elections to determine who would participate in the constitutional process were hailed as a victory for “independent” politics—though we expressed concern that this process would chiefly serve to pacify social movements, pointing out that today, it is much easier to rally opposition to a government than it is to make change via state institutions. As it turned out, in the plebiscite of September 4, 2022, a majority of Chileans voted to reject the proposed constitution—shocking many Chilean leftists, who had not expected such a resounding defeat.

“You think Big Brother is watching you on the subway? You’re absolutely right.”
-New York governor Kathy Hochul, quoted in the New York Times today about the introduction of surveillance cameras into subway cars

There's always an excuse to expand surveillance. But the state being stronger will not necessarily make us safer.

We are inspired by those who resist.

We Are Now: L’histoire d’une zone armée sans flics à Atlanta

https://crimethinc.com/2021/05/19/we-are-now-the-story-of-an-armed-no-cop-zone-in-atlanta-en-francais

Un documentaire avec des sous-titres en Français, centré sur la voix des participants de l’occupation du Wendy’s. Nous espérons que cela contribuera à transmettre la mémoire de certaines des formes de résistance courageuse à la suprématie blanche et au maintien de l’ordre qui ont eu lieu en 2020.
