"La Fragua" is the bulletin published by the Commission of Writers of the Asamblea Plaza de Mayo, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

La Fragua de Mayo.

 

 

LA FRAGUA DE MAYO.
(Self-managed bulletin by the Commission of Writers of the Asamblea Plaza de Mayo).

 

 

 

 

"They told us we were defending our homeland,
but it was the vaults of the banks"

      Anatole France.

 

 

 

 

N§1 - December 2002.

 

 

QUE SE VAYAN TODOS Y QUE NO VUELVA NINGUNO NUNCA MAS.

 

In December we celebrated that in every corner, each moment was a historical landmark founding a new country. Another year has passed, another year of economic and physical genocide on the hands of the local executors, consequent servants of the great empire.

We toasted to the construction of popular power, sounding and resounding in each place of the country with pickets, assemblies, unemployed, subemployed, mortgaged, starved, plundered, like one single determination, in the shaping of the great liberating resistance in the face of the local opressive powers.

Stop the hunger and the misery! It's time to raise up, in the face of the guards of the argentine Auschwitz and their field assistants: political parties et.al.   With mutual support, with integrated nets, sustaining spaces, producing ideas, creating new attitudes. The time is today, not yesterday, nor tomorrow; it's today!   The supression of children and the elderly, the exclusions are today! The combats of those struggling for life are happening today.

In the year's epilogue we cannot and we shall not turn a blind eye on what's happening to us, of which is the cruel frame of reality, of our life, every day. At birth we already arrive with a chemical restraining jacket, with physical supressions, death by economic starvation and social exclusion.

Concluding:

CACEROLAS     ASAMBLEAS     PIQUETES
represent creative figures, ways of activation of social potentials, facilitators of micronets of resistance, linked and engined by rage, solidarity and action, like one single voice, like one libertarian yell with Mayo at the background and the stones of the square as witnesses.

 

"Que se vayan todos y que no vuelva ninguno nunca más."

 

 

 

---------------------------------------------------

 

Not this government nor the one before have been capable nor had the interest of providing a structural and solid solution to this damage. We know they are destroying the social and moral tissue of our people, pushing us towards misery and hunger, insalubrity, in short, towards injustice and towards a perverse social marginalization.

 

---------------------------------------------------

 

 

STRUGGLE FOR THE LAND- Peasant's assemblies.

 

When the issue of land reform is mentioned in our country, the landowners which fear to see their interests affected, immediately bring up the false dicotomy of opposed reivindications from the left and the right, when in fact, the matter should be presented as a struggle between those seeking the liberation of men and those favoring the oligarchic property of the castes.

Raúl Farré.

WRITERS OF THE ASAMBLEA PLAZA DE MAYO.

 

The vertical hierarchical culture of domination caused havoc in the thoughts of our people. We prefer to that the horizontal culture of the people who produce riches and human values. We don't accept the culture of subordination. We refuse to think like those who exert power over the subordinates. We, the writers, do not bow to this culture of vertical order which claims that the world should be regarded through the eyes of the master. We do not accept uniform thought.

We're horizontal because we don't aknowledge the hierarchies that authorize and promote the weak and docile writers, servient to the scales of dominant values.

We ignore its juries and its prices, which encourage obedience to this repressive system.

When we say "Que se vayan Todos", in our field, we mean the media and the writers, accomplices at the reproduction of this perverse system of domination of ones over the others.

We got together to try to understand a culture of individual and social liberation of mankind.

We are not willing to reproduce the hierarchic scale of values of the predators.

The writers call each other througout the assemblies as a part of every other social activity in the struggle for liberation.

We invite all writers to participate at the self-organized asemblies of the people.
