Planned misery

(ES)

[...] These facts, that shock the conscience of the civilized world, there are not however those who have brought more suffering to the people of Argentina and the worst human rights violations in which you are incurring. In the economic policy of the government must be sought not only the explanation of their crimes but a greater atrocity that punishes millions of human beings with planned misery. [...]
 
Open Letter from a Writer to the Military Junta
Rodolfo Walsh. - C.I. 2845022 Buenos Aires, March 24, 1977.

40 years of planned misery. Corporate governments; connivence between governments and corporations. Speculators. Corporate greed and generalized corruption. Globalization. Debt and structural adjustment; prescriptions of the IMF and the WB. Capitalism without limits to prevent the development of poor countries, to increase the inequality gap in emerging economies, and to put and end to the welfare state of more developed countries.

Consequences:

• The genocide of the middle class where it exists. An economic genocide whose acts are committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, not so much a national, ethnical, racial, political or religious group, but a social and economic class whose development has contributed to the welfare state based on principles of solidarity and equal opportunities.

• The extension of the misery in the emerging and poor countries, where any attempt to prosperity of the working classes and peasants is stifled by force of arms, and by political, corporate and judicial corruption.

The path of neoliberal individualism only leads to inequality, and in these conditions of inequality, the competition is never fair, because it is not possible to compete when opportunities are not the same.

The  "free market" utopia that frees people from state intervention, becomes the "market free" dystopia that enslaves people by the action of the corporate state.

There is only one possible response to the neoliberal economic aggression and impunity of perpetrators: SOLIDARITY AND RESISTANCE
