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.

Hoping to gain insight into these events, we sent a series of questions to several thoughtful participants in autonomous social movements. Some of them suspended their rejection of state politics to participate in the constitutional process, while others remained outside the process, taking note of the ways that it shaped the possibilities in Chilean society at large.

“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.

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.

Cheers to whoever pasted our "Hands Off!" posters all around St. Louis, Missouri, where far-right Republican politicians have criminalized abortion in the course of their patriarchal assault on liberties of all kinds.

For perspective on the movement responding to the murder of Mahsa Amini, we recommend this interview with فدراسيون عصر آنارشيسم, the Federation of Anarchism Era, an anarchist federation in Iran and Afghanistan:
