Argentina election: Does Milei differ from other neo-liberals?

From Freedom News UK

Following the election of Argentina’s far-right president, Javier Milei we contacted the organisers of the Buenos Aires anarchist bookfair with our questions about the situation. Here is a response sent by one of the comrades.

Javier Milei’s faux anarchism and blaring support for Israel

Showing how Javier Milei’s employment of the term Anarchism is nonsensical doesn’t take much effort, but nonsense is highly electable in our era. For an anarchist to run for president, he would be seeking a position he doesn’t believe should exist, and would be ideologically committed to not doing the job.

The Return of the Ultraliberal Right in Argentina

In the following reflection, an Argentine anarchist explores why Javier Milei won the election and situates Milei’s politics in historical context. Although Milei’s “anarcho-capitalist” rhetoric may seem new, this is just the latest chapter of a story that is very old in Argentina: the combination of cutthroat capitalism with ruthless state violence.

Argentina: Justice for Natix!

On Monday, September 11th, in police station N° 61 in Fray Luis Beltran, Maipu, Mendoza, punk and anarchist comrade Natix (Natalí Cardozo Guiñazu) was "found hanged." We know that punks, the anarchists, are a nuisance for the system, a nuisance to be eliminated, and even more, being imprisoned in the jails, we are more prone for the police (hired killers at the service of the powerful) to do whatever they want with us, with our bodies. We know that the police use and invent suicides that did not happen to cover up their murders in the prisons, and the friends and relatives of Natix believe that this is what happened in that police station.

Yesterday morning we were alerted to the death of a compañero on the other side of the Atlantic. We were informed that, as foreseen by the medical reports, the most dire prognoses were confirmed.

With deep sorrow, we bid farewell to Yoli

It is with deep sorrow that we bid farewell to our dear compañera Yoli who passed away yesterday. A committed, caring, and combative anarchist militant with whom we were lucky to share years of meetings, events, marches, and other activities. A beautiful voice to sing Hijos del Pueblo and A las Barricadas. A comrade whose daily efforts brought us closer to a new world.

A Memorial to Horacio Ricardo Silva

from Libros de Anarres
by Juan Pujalte

On Saturday, January 4, 1919, the confrontations between the Vasena strikers and the police together with the strikebreakers and provocateurs hired by the company intensified. That would be the prelude to the events that have gone down in history under the name of the "Tragic Week," the most bloody and prolonged insurrection in the history of the Argentine working class.

Buenos Aires Anarchist Bookfair & Gathering, Nov. 20-21

The anarchist boofair will be held November 20 and 21 in Morón; repeating what we did last year at the Plaza China Cuellar in CABA.

We understand that there may be confusion regarding the fact that there will be two anarchist bookfairs in Buenos Aires this year, and so we will use this moment to explain and clarify the panorama to those who are reading from other lattitudes.

Interview w/ an Anarchist On the Mapuche Struggle

from It's Going Down

Full title: Interview with an Anonymous Anarchist On the Mapuche Struggle Against the Occupying Chilean and Argentinian States

In October 2021 the Chilean state declared a state of emergency and a formal siege against the native Mapuche people. This sudden escalation in repression is a continuance of the longstanding colonialist war by the Chilean state against the Mapuche.
