I want to address the issue based on the video we just saw. There are now eight (not seven) dead in the Foxconn. The professor of Qinghua University said that the suicide rate did not seem very high. The next day a 24 year old was thrown from the top of a building. Personally I think these events are dramatic and it is important know what criteria should be evaluated and what's that for a not very high rate of suicides. The mainstream media talk about these tragic events as if it were a personal matter: the suicide of a young graduate who seemed open and happy person is presented as a spiritual problem, while others of these suicides are attributed to psychological problems . In the case of a worker who was thrown from the roof of the dormitory, was attributed to psychological pressures resulting from fertility problems. After the seventh suicide in Foxconn is known sought from psychologists, who have done a good job, and recently also has been told with Taoist priests. The direction of Foxconn prefer to see the problem as something connected to the Fengshui and psychology, rather than seeing it as a management problem enpresarial or as a social problem. I, on the contrary, I will address the problem from a sociological standpoint.
From these facts I want to interpret the phenomenon of farmers migrating from the countryside to the factories in the process of forming a new working class. My books are about the first generation of migrant farm workers, I've recently written some articles scattered on the second generation, which try to insert into the Marxist theoretical framework in formation of the proletariat, and also includes some post-Marxist theories, in order to assess whether it is possible to interpret the suicides and strikes as protest events under the Marxist theoretical tradition or sociology.
Obviously, we do not believe that suicide is normal, if that were the practice of Korean workers who set fire should be seen only as a warning to society, and the suicides of young Chinese workers is a tragedy too great to think that just about, after all, one way to tell the company suffered unfair treatment. Today will avoid all the details about the deaths, and we have seen in the video. The suicides that occurred from January to now occur in young people between 18 and 24, and his approach has always been the same: throw from the top of a building, a gesture that does not allow back. Two workers have been injured and not dead. But whether wounded or dead, how to understand this tragedy? Do you have to place it in the context of the company or have to put the company's internal problems in the broader context of the 230 million migrant farm workers? And why? "To say that this company has done better than this, that the salary of such an enterprise is greater than this one? In
Shenzsen the prevailing wage of a worker is between 1,000 and 1,500 yuan, while Foxconn is between 1,500 and 2,000, being thus significantly higher. Working conditions and management are a little better and that is why at Foxconn every morning at 5.30 h. there is a queue of people wanting to go to work there, while smaller companies are struggling to find workers. Considering this, we could say that this is a smaller-scale representation of the common situation of migrant farm workers, if they improve working conditions at Foxconn could improve the living conditions of migrant farm workers.
Secret por el que China se ha convertido en la fábrica del mundo reside en la existencia de 230 millones de trabajadores campesinos migrantes, sin los que China no habría llegado a ocupar en los últimos 20 años, gracias al bajo coste, el primer puesto como fábrica del mundo. Hoy tenemos primacía en varios ámbitos, la exportación por ejemplo. Foxconn es la primera exportadora global en electrónica. Hoy, cuando construimos Shenzhen, Shanghai etc., decimos siempre que estamos en los primeros puestos a escala mundial, pero también deberíamos decir que, según creo, también lo estamos en cuanto a la tasa de suicidios de la fuerza de trabajo juvenil, pese a los psicólogos que nos dicen que la tasa no es elevada.
When we analyzed the formation of the working class in the context of China as world factory, we see clearly who is building wealth, who is building China as world's factory, who sacrifices himself, who appropriates the benefits. Today it has clearly rethought the phenomenon of class society. A socialist country, that's why it should get rid of capitalist production relations, has allowed the class division to penetrate deep into social relationships.
I became a Marxist when, for the first time I entered the Chinese industrial zones, the first time I walked into a factory, while still college student in the early nineties. At that time they were producing large economic changes in Hong Kong and many factories moved to mainland China. Hong Kong's workers suffer unemployment, and when I moved to China observed the phenomenon of migrant farm workers who, year after year, they went to Guangdong to work.
These changes impressed me and was shocked to see that in the homeland of socialism allowed a brutal capitalist exploitation, which in the nineties, was even more intense than today.
In 1995 I entered a factory which produced electronic components for mobile phones then. There, I began to ask many people what their salary. It was an electronics factory, which became cell phones then. The price of one of those phones were around 10,000 yuan. And what was the salary of a worker? What day? On average, 14 hours a day, no Saturdays or Sundays.
Maybe your mothers and your fathers are the first generation of migrant farm workers that we interviewed, this situation is remembered well. When I entered the factory, angry read Marx's Capital and discovered that the situation described was not as serious as it was in China in the nineties. The salary of the speaker's Capital is calculated weekly, but when I started collecting the wage work was delayed three months and the pace of work was grueling. In the early nineties, workers died in fires that occurred in the factories and dormitories. After Marx, Capital, which describes the industrial situation of the nineteenth century, influenced the socialist revolution, if we compare the time of Marx to the situation of workers and the suicides of Foxconn, we come to the mind that perhaps that time was happier than ours.
In the early nineties, the pressure Labour was much stronger, the wage was only 500 yuan, where it is now between 1,000 and 1,500. The bedrooms and factory spaces have improved, and improved working conditions. Why, then, there were no suicides and strikes among the first generation of migrant workers campesiones, which does happen now?
When I entered the factory and saw the horrendous working conditions did not understand how something could happen in our socialist country. I was furious, but the workers were not. I thought it depended on who were gripped under pressure, which had no possibility to express their feelings. However, I saw no suicides. There were sudden deaths or exhaustion, but not with the current severity.
In the nineties saw how the workers began to get angry and even to strike. After 2000 in the Pearl River Delta, particularly in Dongguan, there were waves of strikes in which thousands of people, but without any media coverage. Then, some media were interested in the strikes, but stopped because it had become so common, especially in Dongguan, which did not attract attention by being so many and so frequent.
How to interpret the differences between the two generations of workers? We must reflect about it and, above all, wonder how they came about migrant farm workers. In addition we study in depth the differences between these two generations, even with the same class composition, with the same relations of production and in the case of workers doing the same job at the factory and they face the contradictions of capitalism. This must be done because the difference is really big.
must also reflect on the formation of the new class of migrant farm workers, we can not fit completely in the process of proletarianization. During a renovation that lasted 30 years the farmer has become worker (in poor without rights), the subject of work but not a worker in the full sense. It is unclear if it is a farmer or a laborer. Although he lives condiones are objectively of a worker, from a subjective point of view, while worker identity is problematic.
Consider the problem of identity recognition through some theoretical content of the post-Marxism. In the transition from class to class itself for itself difficult and complex factors involved. If we introduce this aspect in particular Chinese conditions and in the process of inclusion in the global capitalist economy, by making a comparison with other countries are that the uniqueness China lies in our migrant farm workers. Despite evidence that can spend ten or twenty years of his life working in the factory, are denied their position as workers. His consciousness as such subject has not yet fully formed.
in China Are we witnessing the emergence of a new Enclosures [nt: end of the communal lands in favor of landlords in England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries]? But this phenomenon is different in China. The new generation of migrant farm workers can no longer return to his people but he can not stay in the city. You can not stay where it is, but can not return to the field. Should not such After looking at the condition of incomplete working class the reasons for the suicides and protests by migrant farm workers?
The phenomenon of migrant farm workers can not separate development from the past 30 years. It all started with the reform and the reform started in the field, which was destroyed collective dimension encouraging the emergence of small rural economies, the base of the workforce I have been referring to is at the end of collectivism, which resulted to a surplus of rural labor force. Our Sociologists use a beautiful expression for this phenomenon: an abundant labor force. No matter
whether it is heavy or is widely available, what matters is that a younger generation has nothing to do in the field, has no opportunity to work there because the land can not provide employment. So they began to migrate looking for work in the city, particularly in coastal areas where foreign capital came. So China was founded as a factory of the world, thanks to this cheap labor. In the agricultural reform and the "open strategy" is the secret of the emergence of migrant farm workers.
These are the conditions of the country, because "the labor force is too large. If this surplus labor en los años 80 no hubiera sido absorbida en las fábricas de “sangre y sudor” tampoco se habrían tenido estas mínimas ocasiones de progreso. Según lo que aprendí entonces, en aquel tiempo con doscientos o trescientos yuanes mensuales se pagaban más de diez horas de trabajo diario.
Ya fuese una empresa de juguetes o una de electrónica, el producto era el mismo tanto si lo hacía una trabajadora de Hong Kong o yo misma, que trabajaba en Shenzhen, también eran iguales el capital y la marca. Por ejemplo, todo el mundo sabe que los productos Disney son muy caros, por un muñeco piden entre 200 y 300 yuanes. Bien, pues en los años 80, la misma fábrica, el mismo contexto, en Hong Kong will earn between 5,000 and 6,000 yuan, and the beginning of the 90 some 6,000 working overtime, but the same factory opened a new location beyond the border with Shenzhen, which is producing the same product but pay yuan monthly salary of 200/300. This difference
it was difficult to understand and accept, while for those with patriotic sense was understandable, since both companies said they were in a different stage of development, there were plenty of labor and use that workforce price could boost development, integrating China into the global capitalist system and allowing the first step. But I had no patriotic sense, I wondered if the capital of Hong Kong or Taiwan would no longer invest because the wage paid to go up to 400 yuan. Then as now the question is whether a wage increase that China would cease to be the world's factory and stay away from the path of development. For these capitalists
rising wages did not produce any advantage, because they see the workforce as people. The employer does not feel like people needed to consider the cheap labor. Therefore, for them it would be pointless for a raise. When I entered the factory, had no confidence in workers. When walking down the street or when we went to eat always listened decir que los trabajadores chinos eran difíciles de manejar y que, muy en particular, tendían a robar mercancías ¿Es así? Ciertamente, en comparación con los trabajadores de Hong Kong y Taiwán el fenómeno del hurto de mercancías es más habitual. Los almacenes de las fábricas de Hong Kong tienen abiertas las ventanas, mientras que las de Shenzhen tienen barrotes de hierro por temor a los robos. Un trabajador de Foxconn se ha suicidado por haber perdido el prototipo del iPod; esta presión proviene del temor de la empresas a los robos. Pero si pensamos sobre ello, es preciso tomar en consideración la diferencia que había, en la fábrica en la que trabajaba, entre los salarios, unos 400/500 yuanes mensuales, and the price of cell phones we produced, to 10,000 yuan each.
I've noticed that many fear to use concepts such as class exploitation, but simply walk into a factory to farm, dignity and words no longer seem like alien concepts or in the service of some theory to manipulate foreign workers. The object of that class holding the anger that every worker can feel and express, are things that from a historical perspective, we talked quietly in college students and teachers. Currently there are fears the emergence of class antagonisms. A few years ago had more plants lacking the minimum decent conditions for workers. Places where they worked and lived lacked emergency exits. Some workers were burned to death for that reason. The factories of the nineties had the track history on the ground floor, the assembly line was on the second and third floors, while the workers lived on the upper floors. To prevent all thefts are closed and locked, and in case of fire it was impossible to escape and die workers burned. My work "Chinese Workers", situated in the eighties and early nineties, is born because at that time as a college student, I saw death and to workers. After those fires, housing areas and production were separated by appropriate legislation. Therefore, the accommodation of a factory which has a thousand workers should be created now in its surroundings.
In recent years I have written several articles on the subject of housing. If the first feature in which the secret factory of the world are migrant farm workers, the second is represented by the bedrooms linked to the factory. It is appropriate for the context of the life of the workforce because of the possibility of forming a family, as they must think that, in addition to a salary, require accommodation, the possibility of raising children can study or visit the doctor when it contracts a disease. But the reward of 230 million migrant farm workers is governed only by the needs of the factory and forced to live in common lodging, where dozens of workers huddle. The pay is not allowed to live in the city of Shenzhen.
In fact, in the coastal area of \u200b\u200bShenzhen is developing plans to use this work force for only a short period, until the migrants return to the countryside, are seen as a labor force, not workers. The problem is becoming more evident. At first, migrant farm workers who were in the factories had their own piece of land and the possibility of returning to his village That explains why I was angry but they still did not. In the nineties the workers were considered, basically, peasants, albeit from a Marxist point of view its relations of production had changed and had become real workers employed in factories, but are not yet in a position completely comparable to the workers, their salary was not a worker's salary because the salary of a worker must ensure the cost of reproduction of successive generations, that is, to have a family, working eight or ten hours, able to have a in which to live with the family and from the back to work after a day of rest.
Si en los años ochenta el salario no permitía vivir en la ciudad, actualmente el salario en Foxconn, entre 1.500 y 2.000 yuanes, tampoco permite que un obrero viva en Shenzhen. ¿Cómo puede reproducirse este sistema, cómo se tiene en pie este tipo de sostenibilidad?
Digamos claramente que este sistema sólo rige para los trabajadores campesinos migrantes, cuyo salario es la mitad del salario de un trabajador normal. Además, viviendo en el alojamiento de la fábrica se puede ahorrar algo de dinero para el futuro, ya que no es seguro que Foxconn siga aceptando a un trabajador cuando supere los 30 años de edad.
El actual desarrollo de las grandes ciudades se apoya completamente sobre los hombros de la fuerza de trabajo campesina. La ciudad es cada vez más rica, construimos ciudades cada vez más globales, como Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, cuyos gobiernos no tienen ninguna obligación respecto a las pensiones y al cuidado de los 230 millones de trabajadores campesinos migrantes. Tras haber explotado a la fuerza de trabajo, carecen de cualquier proyecto para su reproducción y para los cuidados que necesitan. El proyecto es devolverles al campo, arruinado desde hace veinte años, sin desarrollo alguno y sobre el que, además, pende la amenaza inminente de la venta de la tierra. Ésta es la injusticia fundamental, la fuerza de trabajo barata sostiene una producción de bajo coste que no sólo se dirige a urban middle bourgeoisie but, more important still, to Western countries like USA, where he has no money it borrows to consume and consume what is our cheap labor. The Chinese government has continuously provided money to those who can consume goods made with cheap labor in the global economic system, so that the ultimate sacrifice falls on the mass of migrant farm workers.
What is the difference between the two generations of migrant farm workers? The first generation had great endurance, in fact, the psychologist who has appeared in the video said that the problem of the current protests derived from the second generation is weak, no stamina, but we must ask how it has created this psychological difference. A careful analysis will tell us that while the first generation had more strength to endure the hard work and adversity, he also had hopes and goals, which saved was used to build a house and an honorable family life, enabling them to withstand the anguish and the toil of work in cities. The second generation is fully formed in the urban environment and aspires to a metropolitan lifestyle in recent years created by the dominant development model, a kind of urban civility continuously sought in la que se dice que hay que renunciar al campo porque de otra manera uno se desacredita, se pierde el honor, se es poco desarrollado y se pierde la posibilidad de cambiar lo que tus progenitores te dieron en su momento. Éste es el contexto en boga. La vía de desarrollo hoy imperante y su cultura nos hacen ver al campo y a nuestro pasado como si fuesen nuestros enemigos.
Desde el momento en el que nos pusimos a construir civilidad metropolitana del tipo de la de Beijing o la de Shanghai, los valores de la nueva generación están enteramente basados sobre eso, mientras que los de nuestros progenitores se basaban totalmente sobre el campo. La primera generación, aunque pobre y forzada a un duro trabajo, tenía una casa en la que pensar. Customers now have between 18 and 20 have no reason to feel connected to the field and yes many reasons for conflict. Year after year struggle for higher wages, although wages are apparently three times in the early 90's, the truth is that prices rise. Do they earn 1,500 yuan today are actually more than 500 of yesterday? May be less, given the inflation and rising prices. In the nineties, on the outskirts of Shenzhen and Guangzhou could rent for 200 or 300 yuan, a house to live with the family. Today you can not. Migrant farm workers are forced to live in industrial areas, where rents are not affordable so staying in the dorms of the company, the same bedroom from the rooftops and windows were thrown Foxconn workers.
A migrant farm workers in their twenties who do not want to stay in the country and want to live in the city should pay at least 1,000 yuan to rent, but, then, is how to meet other basic needs at a salary of 1,500 yuan? No output to the dilemmas and difficulties of this new generation. Two or three years ago there was much talk when snow forced farmers to become migrant workers in the city without returning home for Chinese New Year celebration, but even could have done would have been only for two weeks, they were aware. Rural life, values \u200b\u200band reality are lost, even more so if we talk about the second and third generation.
From here, we can imagine two possible ways. On the one hand, it would be a new rural development that does not involve the sale of land and is not serving the big companies that are devouring the countryside. A development that allows people to return there to have an economic base from which to live and feel that life has a future.
On the other hand there is the possibility that these migrant farm workers truly become the new working class, with a salary increase which will be beneficial for the development of China. Now if all goods are export oriented, is that people here do not have money to eat. On the one hand, there is fear that there is no consumption, but wages do not rise. It is not logical. Raising wages at Foxconn are also influence on other companies and the entire area of \u200b\u200bShenzhen, leading improvements.
The real problem is the appalling race to the bottom in which is embedded capital internally, the last frontier of reduced competition, whose final price paid by workers. Why
workers have been reduced to this condition? Let's face it: in addition the fact that our trade unions play no useful role, our workers have no power to negotiate wages. They have no force in the city because they are still in a fluctuating situation and uprooted. Today we work in Dongguan, Shenzhen tomorrow or maybe in Guangzhou. This does not belong to a household or a society.
The strength of workers, the pressure they can exert on the capital, is fragmented under these conditions. Capital wants all workers are migrant farm workers, and clearly wants to keep migrant workers as second and third generation migrant farmworkers. That's why we have not changed the situation created by the hukou system [nt regulatory system permits permanent and temporary residence].
Increased wages also influence the situation of students. Why is the salary of a diploma is so low? Because there behind a brother who is even less, a migrant worker who has even less, an unemployed person who has even less. Today we should think about who holds a society and what rights are protected.

I Let My Cousin Kiss My Boobs
CONSCIOUS OF SOME STILL BELIEVE IN THE THREE KINGS ...
En el contexto del nuevo modelo colonial corporativo que configura una Argentina agro exportadora, una Argentina que apuesta por la biotecnología, la producción de Biocombustibles y por la minería con cianuro, en los mercados globales, ha sido necesario para el sistema, el improvisar una dirigencia desde la izquierda quebrada y a veces no tan quebrada, ya que muchos de los supuestos del marxismo han devenido útiles al desarrollismo más duro, tal como es el caso de Lula y de Dilma. En la Argentina, ese neodesarrollismo postcolonial friendly corporations, in this case over much of the left transvestite, has abused human rights as an ideology to justify their atrocities of the present. But remember and bear in mind again that we are not talking about the right, a right that is awkward and ineffective as Macri, we're talking about people like Kunkel, as Duhalde good, like the Garre, Hebe, and as the hundreds of Open Letter intellectuals and Campora, who fill the tables of National Radio, Channel 7, Channel encounter, Radio Cooperativa Radio del Plata, the radius of the goalkeepers as Aliverti, Page 12 and Argentine Time , 23 Magazine and all coming from the PC Codovilla and Heller, Sabatella and Filmus, ERP and TRP as Maria Seoane, Angus and many others. This system of double standards rests decisively on welfare that allows the resources of the agro exports. To the left in government, however, it is important to hide that are feeding the pigs in China and other Europe with our children's hunger and death by malnutrition of indigenous peoples, the elderly and many creatures. Hence the constant simulation scenarios, hence the speeches cheats, hence the huge investment in advertising showing over and over again, how to lower the portrait of Videla, fiery speeches with handkerchiefs White around, etc.. The great tool of the Government is poverty asistencializar mode because it undermines the capacity for autonomy in the most humble and let them play outside the fights for power, that is what worries them. In the last fifty years were the workers who took the leadership of the process of liberation, now the welfarism is destroying a process that began at the time Martinez de Hoz, empty the tank to drown a fish, or to liquidate deindustrialized strength of the working class ... The handouts to the poor politically settled in the strategic field of class struggle and the power ... The working class handouts liquid systematically, as rising soybean production leaves the maximum truck transport beans by the CGT and the Momo responsible for the social work of the unemployed of Agriculture as a second charge of the CGT and the historic 62 Organizations. The farce is what is left of the struggles of the past ...
to the middle on the other hand, the Government has in turn several fronts that are seductive and referring to various modes of operation on poverty or on the membership of social organizations, while serving to provide employment or paid job in a job market that depressed and where wages they offer are enviable. I mean the thousands of pictures that form the Ministry de Desarrollo Social con Alicia Kirchner, los cientos de técnicos que se suman a los innumerables proyectos de huertas asistidas y de agricultura familiar y para pequeños productores, de la Secretaria Carla Campos Bilbao en el Ministerio de Agricultura, y por último, la Subsecretaría de integración económica y MERCOSUR donde revistaba el Ex PC Eduardo Sigal y ahora el ex monto José Vitar, y que, en la Cancillería, se especializa en torneos de oratoria y documentos consensuados sobre nuestra política exterior, que van rigurosamente al cesto de los papeles de Timmerman, o en pagar pasajes al exterior para los dóciles y para los amigos... Con estos tres brazos: Alicia, Carla y ahora José Vitar, opera el asistencialismo o acaso la gran fábrica de simulacros y de escenarios de simulación, y podría sumárseles algunos programa del INTA o de la UBA o acaso del Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología de Lino Barañao y el resto de su troupe Stalinista y especialmente el programa Raíces que trae incautos desde el exterior...
Una y otra vez, nosotros nos vemos obligados a debatir con buenos compañeros, compañeros un poco candorosos, compañeros bastante “buenudos”, que tratan de justificar su trabajo y el sueldo que ganan en alguna de estas áreas, y que nos desafían a debatir sobre la gradualidad necesaria y en vigencia, para supuestamente cambiar el modelo. Nadie duda de las buenas intenciones de quienes trabajan with small farmers or family farmers, or those who are dressed to the Indians of ex impenetrable, in the Chaco razed by bulldozers. Furthermore, we are convinced that they are good people who have good heart and that most are honest, who strive to do the best we can within those bureaucratic structures full of opportunists and merchants of poverty in the most senior functionary. What they say is to not buy the model they sell, which do not create their own misleading advertising, not confusing laburo assholes in the state as workers of a given Ministry, with staff feeling and take charge of a political strategy leadership without serious qualms. Who wish to discuss with us shows they are good people and who have doubts, but there are also instructed to fuck ... that's another laburo in the state, from which much know the Minister Anibal and we've had in abundance from our time at Radio ... But it is not easy for the GRR having to start each week discussing with another well-intentioned mistakes employment with work, and needs to justify the salary he is, leading a crusade to soften hard as we do not want to accept the good leading the Government's intentions and we would be according to them, so arrogant we do not accept debate with Kunkel, nor Vitar, nor the wife Carla Campos Moreno Mayor, or perhaps with Dominguez and his right hand Serantes that are operators of the Church and various companies granaries and just have to go online to find it ... This product is new and Kirchner, contractors and employees operating State programs feel they are militant ... who share the ideology of the patterns ... seems impossible, but it is a totally new that has occurred Kirchner, in the past, since the beginning of democracy until 2003 we were state employees generally critical of the policies implemented, although we had that completed, we did not buy the speech of policymakers. It also seems to have concluded have been shut out of debates and contestation within the state ...
So, right now we tell everyone and claim many leased from the membership to discuss our positions, our well-meaning friends please, be indulgent with us, let us persist in error that are old and some arsonists to you, and will become young people and we will fire off fireworks ... Yes, we must be very, very proud for you, we are proud simply because we will not lose the pants ... you try to have the patience to read us and understand that when we mix with Fidel and the wall solution, we realize that, in addition to having been trained For seventy malformed transvestite overwhelms ignorance and misunderstanding about who we are and how we think. It is not that from the GRR would like to change the country in three days as you always tend to tell us of course object to a gradual thinking that you and the government pays them would express ... Further still, we can say with absolute certainty that we are unique in all of Argentina but throughout Latin America, we have said publicly and to all hazards that come out of the soybean production will take us twenty or thirty years and that the process should be strictly gradual, sequential, you have to develop alternatives to soy and that have to install regulations and limitations gradual, beginning with the control of the ports and what will not now exist, the implementation of the export duty or withholding tax to exporters and producers not as now, the empowerment of local slaughter that enables existing or surviving small farmers, the creation of fruity green belts around towns vegetables to provide fresh food and give work, the marketing of fresh milk to survive the last dairy farms, enabling suburban markets save fuel and break the chains of agribusiness, the radical modification of INTA, SENASA and CONICET, transforming space for agribusiness and biotechnology in food sovereignty instruments and local developments. And finally, decide that provinces like Salta, Formosa and Chaco, or perhaps also Santiago del Estero, where vie MOCASES see what more the Government bootlicking KK, become provinces that protect small farmers and not allow monoculture at least biotech, or of soybean production. That for this to be possible, state policies are needed, forward-looking and communicable from one government to another and, above all, political will is required NOT to see, that does NOT exist, because so far only deepens this soybean production model and terrible devastation of the territory with government policies, not that we say we say it every day and progressive exaltation worthy of a better cause, the very President and his Minister of Agriculture to encourage soybean production and the production of biofuels, or the Science and Technology is an outspoken apologist for biotechnology and biotech corporations ... So, in these early 2011 there is no confusion but that do not want to see clear and stir the puddle with a stick. Dispénsennos then all those who want to continue believing in Santa Claus or the Three Kings, where we try to keep our beliefs and not force us to argue with those who are not our enemies, but just good people disoriented and that despite all good intentions and recognize the need in the labor market to maintain laburo they got, the laburo or plans, subsidies, or whatever. That enjoyment without much joy and guilty conscience, but do not harass us, like someone said ... we are not to blame for their problems of conscience ...

I mean the thousands of pictures that form the Ministry de Desarrollo Social con Alicia Kirchner, los cientos de técnicos que se suman a los innumerables proyectos de huertas asistidas y de agricultura familiar y para pequeños productores, de la Secretaria Carla Campos Bilbao en el Ministerio de Agricultura, y por último, la Subsecretaría de integración económica y MERCOSUR donde revistaba el Ex PC Eduardo Sigal y ahora el ex monto José Vitar, y que, en la Cancillería, se especializa en torneos de oratoria y documentos consensuados sobre nuestra política exterior, que van rigurosamente al cesto de los papeles de Timmerman, o en pagar pasajes al exterior para los dóciles y para los amigos... Con estos tres brazos: Alicia, Carla y ahora José Vitar, opera el asistencialismo o acaso la gran fábrica de simulacros y de escenarios de simulación, y podría sumárseles algunos programa del INTA o de la UBA o acaso del Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología de Lino Barañao y el resto de su troupe Stalinista y especialmente el programa Raíces que trae incautos desde el exterior...
Una y otra vez, nosotros nos vemos obligados a debatir con buenos compañeros, compañeros un poco candorosos, compañeros bastante “buenudos”, que tratan de justificar su trabajo y el sueldo que ganan en alguna de estas áreas, y que nos desafían a debatir sobre la gradualidad necesaria y en vigencia, para supuestamente cambiar el modelo. Nadie duda de las buenas intenciones de quienes trabajan with small farmers or family farmers, or those who are dressed to the Indians of ex impenetrable, in the Chaco razed by bulldozers. Furthermore, we are convinced that they are good people who have good heart and that most are honest, who strive to do the best we can within those bureaucratic structures full of opportunists and merchants of poverty in the most senior functionary. What they say is to not buy the model they sell, which do not create their own misleading advertising, not confusing laburo assholes in the state as workers of a given Ministry, with staff feeling and take charge of a political strategy leadership without serious qualms. Who wish to discuss with us shows they are good people and who have doubts, but there are also instructed to fuck ... that's another laburo in the state, from which much know the Minister Anibal and we've had in abundance from our time at Radio ... But it is not easy for the GRR having to start each week discussing with another well-intentioned mistakes employment with work, and needs to justify the salary he is, leading a crusade to soften hard as we do not want to accept the good leading the Government's intentions and we would be according to them, so arrogant we do not accept debate with Kunkel, nor Vitar, nor the wife Carla Campos Moreno Mayor, or perhaps with Dominguez and his right hand Serantes that are operators of the Church and various companies granaries and just have to go online to find it ... This product is new and Kirchner, contractors and employees operating State programs feel they are militant ... who share the ideology of the patterns ... seems impossible, but it is a totally new that has occurred Kirchner, in the past, since the beginning of democracy until 2003 we were state employees generally critical of the policies implemented, although we had that completed, we did not buy the speech of policymakers. It also seems to have concluded have been shut out of debates and contestation within the state ...
So, right now we tell everyone and claim many leased from the membership to discuss our positions, our well-meaning friends please, be indulgent with us, let us persist in error that are old and some arsonists to you, and will become young people and we will fire off fireworks ... Yes, we must be very, very proud for you, we are proud simply because we will not lose the pants ... you try to have the patience to read us and understand that when we mix with Fidel and the wall solution, we realize that, in addition to having been trained For seventy malformed transvestite overwhelms ignorance and misunderstanding about who we are and how we think. It is not that from the GRR would like to change the country in three days as you always tend to tell us of course object to a gradual thinking that you and the government pays them would express ... Further still, we can say with absolute certainty that we are unique in all of Argentina but throughout Latin America, we have said publicly and to all hazards that come out of the soybean production will take us twenty or thirty years and that the process should be strictly gradual, sequential, you have to develop alternatives to soy and that have to install regulations and limitations gradual, beginning with the control of the ports and what will not now exist, the implementation of the export duty or withholding tax to exporters and producers not as now, the empowerment of local slaughter that enables existing or surviving small farmers, the creation of fruity green belts around towns vegetables to provide fresh food and give work, the marketing of fresh milk to survive the last dairy farms, enabling suburban markets save fuel and break the chains of agribusiness, the radical modification of INTA, SENASA and CONICET, transforming space for agribusiness and biotechnology in food sovereignty instruments and local developments. And finally, decide that provinces like Salta, Formosa and Chaco, or perhaps also Santiago del Estero, where vie MOCASES see what more the Government bootlicking KK, become provinces that protect small farmers and not allow monoculture at least biotech, or of soybean production. That for this to be possible, state policies are needed, forward-looking and communicable from one government to another and, above all, political will is required NOT to see, that does NOT exist, because so far only deepens this soybean production model and terrible devastation of the territory with government policies, not that we say we say it every day and progressive exaltation worthy of a better cause, the very President and his Minister of Agriculture to encourage soybean production and the production of biofuels, or the Science and Technology is an outspoken apologist for biotechnology and biotech corporations ... So, in these early 2011 there is no confusion but that do not want to see clear and stir the puddle with a stick. Dispénsennos then all those who want to continue believing in Santa Claus or the Three Kings, where we try to keep our beliefs and not force us to argue with those who are not our enemies, but just good people disoriented and that despite all good intentions and recognize the need in the labor market to maintain laburo they got, the laburo or plans, subsidies, or whatever. That enjoyment without much joy and guilty conscience, but do not harass us, like someone said ... we are not to blame for their problems of conscience ...

Labeled Images Of Viking Ships
EDITORIAL DE HORIZONTE SUR DEL SABADO PRIMERO DE ENERO DE 2011 EN LA AM 690
This is our last program of 2010 and also the first of 2011. You own all end of an era, in this case the end of the year and the threshold of new beginning, an attempt to recall and be aware of what happened, go back to what happened to analyze, to weigh the experiences and try to balance the positive and negative we have, always in the mood to improve, if passed, to correct and optimize the ability to make each one has and that we as a group, as a stream of thought, as a trench to resist the onslaught of global corporations and their native partners. In principle, we agree that there has been an easy year ... not yet finished the first few weeks of summer, which some say in Argentina is a time when nothing happens important was in late January, when we got kicked out of public radio ... it was not right, let's clear it was not right that we criticized so barbaric and unexpectedly, it was people who until late eighties were active in the ERP PRT and then worked largely in the Clarin ... When the left takes the place where he usually tends to be right, its repressive actions are infinitely more intelligent and cruel. We drove on through the holidays when public attention is usually relaxed and ordinary guard is down, we got kicked out after more than five years and a half program, instead giving us even to say goodbye ... no chance higher strength, some listeners heard two months later what happened ... but did not fall and here we are with flags held high as always, we are again in the air and multiplied by many friends that we replicate in various areas of the territory ...
acknowledge has been a difficult year, a year that what were the policies imposed on the simulation, the double standards and continuous simulation. Enemies were recreated at the time and as required, and these enemies will happen as the Chinese shadows behind each other, while large corporations and we emptied the territory subjected to new colonialismos del siglo XXI. Clarín y la Nación por una parte, como para sostener el armado de una ley de medios que nuestra propia experiencia en la Radio Nacional exhibía como falsaria y tramposa; siempre la Mesa de enlace cada vez más y más disminuida, pero útil para los chisporroteos propios de la falta de políticas agrarias; el Bicentenario como oportunidad extraordinaria para volver a equivocar los enemigos del siglo XX o sea la Sociedad Rural de aquel entonces, con los actuales, y naturalizar a los grandes sojeros amigos del poder como Grobocopatel y Elsztain, devenidos Corporaciones Transnacionales; más tarde Mirtha Legrand y por fin Macri, que siempre pareciera estar a la mano como el negro aquel del parque de diversiones a who threw three balls for one dollar ...
Amid the simulation, as well as if multiple scenarios are not enough, the tragedy of sudden death after an argument with Moyano because of Pedraza and death a college activist. Once again be exposed as we persist in not seeing or give us a blind, we can not take the accumulated power and safes for the other side ... Nestor's death was nevertheless an extraordinary opportunity for the passion of necrophilic Argentines. Even his toughest opponents acknowledged him as the great statesman who was neither intended as, and convinced that the memory de nuestro pueblo es corta, se sumaron al carnaval de las pantomimas y de los travestimientos, como para sacar algún rédito de aquel mar revuelto del duelo oficialista, tener un oportunidad de consolar o de acercarse a la viuda, o acaso mojar en el milagro televisivo de miles de jóvenes que, tal vez por haber pasado muchos por el menemismo, redescubrían el sentido de la militancia progresista con el kirchnerismo. De los miles de millones de pesos mensuales destinados a alimentar esos apasionados fuegos militantes, en esas tantas agrupaciones sociales siempre bien dispuestas a manifestarse a favor del gobierno o del modelo, pocos hablan… Del gigantesco aparato asistencial y clientelar montado después del 2001 de manera artesanal con el duhaldismo and now become a relentless machine and on a scale of proportion, does not speak, because in reality it has been naturalized. For the alleged political leadership that data are like those family secrets that hide in the long silences and gestures tense family gatherings. For many of us who live in suburban cords are on the other hand, at least during the first weeks of each month, the harsh reality of the long queues that Argentina is publicly exposed the deep. Since the start of December, the two banks of the town where I live and four ATMs have been for days, collapsed. The crowd from the suburbs and extremely poor living conditions, in a patient per day is expected across the block and the tail usually has a considerable width, in addition, many participate in family and take turns to take the hours of duty. To make matters worse the money usually ends and then it happens that people previously resigned, waiting patiently for a long time, the arrival of a truck payer. One of these days, being in the downtown area of \u200b\u200bMarcos Paz witnessed a surprising and memorable. There was suddenly a loud shouting and an ovation that was topped with long applause from the crowd that filled the sidewalks of the block. Amid heavy security and police were deployed, had arrived armored truck with new funds. The crowd began to chant a slogan never heard yet, at least for me, and probably coined in the middle of the emotions of the moment: ... ta pla, pla ... ta, ta pla ....
These events preceded the American Indian occupation of the park. Surely, these overflow situations are encouraged by the pointers that correspond to the quarrels of the dome, however, always express the gap between the common needs and thoughts and beliefs of those who govern ... Again, the alleged leaders and media commentators avoid addressing the root causes of this terrible catástrofe de hacinamiento y de favelización a la que se nos viene acostumbrando. Las escenas de violencia que los argentinos presenciamos gracias a la televisión en esos días en que, debido a la ausencia del Estado, los grupos quedaron librados a su suerte y a realizar justicia por su mano, difícilmente se borren de nuestra memoria. Esas imágenes nos ayudarán a recordar que somos un continente mestizo y con una enorme carga de violencia. Que, tal como siempre nos recordaba Rodolfo Kusch el gran pensador americano, por debajo de una frágil nata de lava enfriada sobre la que asentamos nuestra presunta modernidad, y nuestras ridículas certezas sobre el progreso y el crecimiento, bulle el volcán de la América profunda. Que la cercanía del abismo sirva al menos para hacernos bajar la soberbia, y para que dejemos de anunciar tal como se hace, los términos de crecimiento bruto como éxitos, cuando este año habrá sido justamente Paraguay, quien más ha crecido por encima de todos sus vecinos. Y sabemos que Paraguay esta sufriendo gracias a la sojización que alguna vez le exportamos ilegalmente como bolsa blanca, una gigantesca y espantosa catástrofe económica, ambiental y también humana, y que millones de paraguayos están emigrando hacia la Argentina en busca de un lugar dónde vivir y escapando a la contaminación que mata los niños en los vientres de las madres…
Este año que terminó also recorded two situations of extreme importance in the global processes of transnational corporations, and both the current government was involved in both progressive and also were denouncing us as GRR and noting the need for us descolonicemos. One was the great call by the Agribusiness in the city of Geneva to the venture capital and particularly the Russian and Arab investors, to accompany the land grab and particularly the Southern Cone in Argentina for the production of commodities and energy from agriculture. Behind the call discovered the presence of large soybean as Grobocopatel Elsztain and now concluded and furthermore, transformed now to join other financial groups, in large corporations. It is unfortunate that while we were pointing them in Geneva, and when we returned at press conference presenting the evidence of what it meant grabbing land that the world is concerned, there was no opposition leader or perhaps a significant group even left to come over, at least for information. Clearly not interested in the issue and agree in pointing persist as enemies to the Rural Society, while still being functional transnational corporate power ...
The other situation we want noted, dates back to early 2009 and refers to one of several attempts by Monsanto to have the approval of the Vatican to present to GMOs as a solution to world hunger. It happens that Monsanto can buy hundreds of research institutes and thousands of technicians, but so far has not got the moral support of any of the churches. Monsanto has all the power but need the word material and the backing of a dignitary of the Church. He has tried many times, pressures, lobby, specific synods, everything has gone wrong, the Vatican has refused to take a position on genetically modified seeds. In 2009 however many defeats, carried out the boldest attempt all incurred, met some famous scientists, many executives and Monsanto in a seminar on GM plants, taking advantage of an area of \u200b\u200bscience of the Pontifical Academies, there is someone in charge highly permeable to the speeches of the company, we mean Monsignor Sanchez Sorondo, of course Argentina. With the backing of our government certainly got exposed as a speaker star that the representative of the Ministry of Agriculture Moses Burachik and refer the alleged successes of Argentina on how to solve their own population's food insecurity. As will be seen, a clear installation where nothing is real but looks and where the fifth column the company within the Vatican tried not to be too hyped in their actions to the extent that the program on the Web, only found in English, our Ambassador to the Vatican was not informed about the event and never responded to letters send request to participate or be informed of the resolution. Our numerous complaints, both on national radio as the bishops and the nuncio did not at that time, more results, apparently no one knew the subject or downplay the issue.
A year and a half later, the conclusions of those so-called experts at GM to meet at the papal court, were released with apparent seriousness academic publications through science and Biotechnology, suggesting that the Vatican would have taken at last position on the issue, this time, supporting the GM as a solution to world hunger. In fact it was not only one of the many scientific meetings have taken place in the papal court, but the operation was over and the world press spread the news as good. Little immediate imported the pope's spokesman's remarks, explaining that it was nothing more than conclusions of a meeting of scientists and not an official statement, once the damage was done we tried to avoid. Again, the double surprise personality of a government bungle many progressive speeches naive and homely fights with Clarin or Macri, and internationally are able to play as strong as it has played so many times, in favor of free trade, the global markets, unqualified support for biotechnologies and for corporations like Monsanto.
And this justly claim to be the most important consideration and the message, on this first day of the year. Because it was the challenge we had in recent months compared to many who gave up the possibility of being lucid and gave in to media manipulation, but not of the expert Clarín manipulated the media, the bicentennial first and then the funeral of former President, and all the press and radio addicts who are becoming more and riding a circus deafening, that clouds and occasional moves against the enemies of the government. In the midst of this circus again express the desire to have a free and Sovereignty seems almost an anachronism, at least while the governors celebrate that China occupies our land and forest sites for the production of biofuels. Nevertheless, we persisted in raising flags will remain a minority in a country of false majorities, but who cares keep up because there are many who seek them, many more who still need them and are not fully aware of it ... Once, long ago, the protokirchnerismo through Chacho Álvarez reneged on the testimonial, then we saw over the years, what kind of terror of political behavior and what kind of ugly pragmatism led those paths . Let no one tell us not to continue being loyal to ourselves, nobody asks us to stop saying what we consider important to say, speak out whenever we can and as often as necessary. We hope that the year that begins today is a year of struggle and our flags are multiplied as a new mode of resistance, throughout the country devastated by agribusiness and soy model. A big hug to all who have supported us in this year 2010.
