In Bolivia, they are not only giving a coup d'etat, but also a fascist, sexist and racist massacre against a people that does not accept discipline. They are killing us and you ...
By Claudia Korol
We are receiving audios at all times, from different parts of Bolivia: Cochabamba, El Alto, Senkata, La Paz ... They bring desperate cries of women, from communities that resist with dignity, under the murderous bullets of the military, police, and armed fascist groups for the oligarchies with the support of the Trump, the Macris and Bolsonaros. They also bring voices that denounce, voices that analyze, voices that organize, voices that are in resistance. Cries are heard that are remade in slogans. The united peoples will never be defeated!
The racist, fascist, patriarchal, colonial, capitalist coup d'etat seeks to end all those voices, silence them, erase them, make them non-audible. The communication fence aims to crush and isolate the word of the people. The conservative, capitalist restoration goes for lithium, goes for the jungle, goes for bad examples.
The voices keep coming. New communication spaces are generated. They work a thousand social and family networks, community radios, home videos made from cell phones. It is desperate to hear the bullets. See their journey through the skin, invading the bodies that rise from all humiliations. It generates anger, helplessness, indignation, anger.
It is not understood then, that in the middle of that sea of rebellious voices that take the mask out of murderous racism, that they do not give up, that they do not surrender, that they are not sold, a deafening murmur begins, made of words written from some feminist, environmentalist spaces, some that claim that it is not a blow, others that say that maybe it is, but that in that case it is an action of the right that seeks to capitalize a popular uprising, taking advantage of the disaster caused by Evo and his government. Criticisms are directed and emphasized, rather than at the violent usurpers of the government, towards the overthrown president. Evo is matched with Camacho and Mesa, and the blow is banalized as if it were a cockfight.
Suddenly, yes, suddenly, all attention is distracted from the fascist groups that spurred the mobilizations called "in defense of democracy", where enthusiastic participants participated in several figures who today write these reasons. (They participated in the marches against the re-election of Evo - in defense of democracy, they said - but they are not now on the barricades against fascism). The attention is distracted by the actions carried out by the US government, by the OAS, by the fascism of the parapolicial groups of the young people from Cruñista, by the destabilizing action promoted by the Bolivian oligarchy commanded by Mesa and Camacho. The attention is distracted from the bullets that kill the people. The attention is distracted from the women of beaten, humiliated skirts. The attention is distracted from impunity to the military guaranteed by the imposter who acts as president. The problem, they say, is Evo, and the people who believe in the leader.
It is not the sense of these urgent notes to discuss the machismo of Evo and so many political leaders of Our America. But we do need to say that popular feminism knows how to distinguish between the historical difficulties of the patriarchal culture of our peoples, and the imperialist and oligarchic policies that hit us. We know how to distinguish between Salvador Allende and Pinochet, between Hugo Chávez and Guaidós, between Mel Zelaya and Micheletti, between Lula and Bolsonaro. Not to do so is to be indifferent to the feelings and struggles of women and peoples. From popular feminisms, we do not legitimize the macho gestures that sow the history of the won and lost revolutions, but we discuss those gestures in the midst of the processes of change, and not with those who are killing us.
While we listen to the desperation of those who put the body in the streets, on the laptop political sentences are written for the government that - despite all the errors and weaknesses that can be analyzed - has generated a plurinational experience, of recognition of the original peoples and of his dignity. In the face of the coup d'etat, with military and police participation in its definition, hold Evo Morales' government accountable for the crime, and even raise an approach that questions the fascist, racist, patriarchal and colonial character of those who took over government and power , is very functional to the coup interests.
When the women of Pollera stop feeling and being threatened by the streets, when young people stop being criminalized and killed, when popular movements stop being persecuted, when those responsible for these massacres are judged and the people recreate From below and collectively the popular power, we can analyze the limits of the experiences that the people have been starring in the Abya Yala.
Today our bodies, our feelings, our forces, are set to break the information blockade, to build bridges with the indigenous, peasant, feminist and popular resistance, to accord each companion and each partner injured, imprisoned, threatened / a, persecuted, hurt. To those who again and again received gas and bullets, blows and humiliations.
We are with the persecuted and persecuted. With the humiliated. With the rebel dignity that continues to occupy streets and cutting routes. And from there, we don't move. Fascism will not happen.
