About public debt,budget deficit and the General Strike on Saturday

"... Have these current genealogists of morals ever allowed themselves to have even the vaguest notion, for instance, that the cardinal moral idea of "ought" originates from the very material idea of "owe"?...Whence is it that this ancient deep rooted and now perhaps ineradicable idea has drawn its strength, this idea of an equivalency between injury and pain? I have already revealed its origin, in the contractual relationship between creditor and debtor, that is as old as the existence of legal rights at all, and in its turn points back to the primary forms of purchase, sale, barter, and trade...The "debtor," in order to induce credit in his promise of repayment, in order to give a guarantee of the earnestness and sanctity of his promise, in order to drill into his own conscience the duty, the solemn duty, of repayment, will, by virtue of a contract with his creditor to meet the contingency of his not paying, pledge something that he still possesses, something that he still has in his power, for instance, his body,...his freedom, even his own life..."



F.Nietzsche,Genealogy of Morals





At the start of the global crisis of the financial system Gordon Brown turned an blind eye on the real problem, the problem of output surplus and decided to “borrow” money to the banks in order to defuse the crisis. A couple of years later public debt and deficit has grown more than ever and the members of the Con-Dem coalition are still continue to pay huge amounts to the banks and their big staff. The wealth is being taken from the middle class and the poor, and handed to the moneyed classes and the capitalists. The same time ministers claim that these cuts are for the common good. It is obviously the only beneficiaries will be those who created the crisis which will pass all the public goods and services that should belong to everyone.



Through the constant terror of media, the modern moralists, the preachers of capital and money are trying to forcibly convince us, the “debtors”, that we have give back everything we have won through social struggles the last century. The fiscal terrorism is trying to become more efficient by pointing, through the collectively responsibility of debt, our own subjectivity. The storm of imminent threats to “our” national economy is aimed at internalization of the debt crisis as fear and guilt: “Our” debt must become our collectively guilt. Thus the original sin come back more violently to force us,paraphrase Nietzsche,to pledge our already low wages, our already intensified labor life, our own expectations of a world where the rule of capital and the abolition of exploitation and oppression of human being over human being will be now past. They want us to put in pledge our own requirements for the present and future life liberated from debts and obligations; to be charged with the burden of a depressed uncertain present in order to eliminate even from our imaginary every possibility to destroy this old and laden with obligations and debt world.



The State legislates and represses! The Society resists and reverses.....





Against the widespread attack of the state and the bosses, is duty in our conscious as human beings, to oppose in any place of our life the social and class resistance, the self-organization and the solidarity.

It is our historical responsibility to transform the global crisis and bankruptcy of the political-economic system in a conflict and counter-attack field for its reversal, for the socially revolution for the anarchy and the anti-authority socialism. The economic crisis does not exist because of us-economic crisis is structural element of capitalism- because of us though there are dozens of occupied factories in Argentina, in Germany,in Mexico without owners and managers with the only principle of solidarity and only care the collective good.

Because of us there are dozens of squat based in direct action and self organization, there are neighborhood committees that bring residents close to each other without “political” representatives and parliamentary reptiles.
