[FSFLA] Building alternatives to neoliberalism in Latin America today

[willi uebelherr]

Dear Michael,

in Links international journal of socialist renewal i have found your text:

Building alternatives to neoliberalism in Latin America today
Michael Lebowitz, 24.05.2016
http://links.org.au/node/4698

At the center in your text is Venezuela. For me too. And in your text we 
find the several errors of the "socialist" movements in the last 150 
years: The state, the representation, the monetary system, the economy.

We know, only the people themselves can end their slavery. And the main 
instrument for doing this is the self-organization of the economy. But 
in the economy there is no money. We find it only in the distribution 
system. A virtual layer that does not exist in reality.

So also the state. He does not exist. Only the references to the state 
exist inside our heads. In our thinking.

Senor Hugo Chavez has named three basic principles. I forme it to a 
three-pole.
- Independencia o Nada (the base)
- Poder Popular o Nada
- Comunas o Nada

Hugo Chavez has not understood this three-pole. It really goes back to 
Kleber Ramirez and before. Ancient wisdom, ancient knowledge is conveyed 
with it.

Independence. The ability to determine our way of life itself. The 
prerequisite is the independent economy. And their requirements are the 
technical infrastructures and independence in technology. And because we 
humans live in distributed social communities, the economy is still 
organized locally.

Poder Popular. The democracy. The People determine all questions 
themselves, of which they are affected. And most of the questions are 
always local.

Comunas. Local communities with their own independent economy. Only in 
this connection exist Comunas.

If we now view your activities in Venezuela, so Michael Lebowitz, Marta 
Harnecker, Istvan Meszaros and Heinz Dieterich, then of all this 
knowledge yhere is not much to see or to read. Hugo Chavez has never 
done an open debate about the future of Venezuela with the people of 
Venezuela. The members of the PSUV in Merida have told us/me: Hugo 
Chavez sit in the glass house. He sees us, we see him, but we can not 
speak together. But with the so-called theorists from outside he has 
discussed.

That is the essence of the situation in Venezuela: the Mafia. Decisions 
are always hidden prepared and decided behind closed doors. The data are 
always secret. State secret. And you participate. You were part of the 
elites.

So the result is a big much nonsense like the "Mision Vivenda". 
Companies from Belorus, Persia, China, Russia build these container 
homes. Actually rather henhouses. This reminds me of the "Neue Heimat" 
(new home) in West Berlin, to East Berlin, to Belgrad. Environments 
where no human being can live healthy. Lego (primitive cubism) architecture.

All the dirt from the pseudo "socialist" states has arrived in 
Venezuela. Together with the macro economy of the GDR and the 
propaganda, a new man must be created. "Prolet" culture of Bogdanov.

You talk about "produce revolutionary subjects". I want to see how this 
will be possible. In essence slavery hides. The resources are 
centralized and monopolized. They are removed from the people. The 
people are fixed in the dependence. They are degraded to consumers.

The same we find in Nicaragua, Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina. The political 
mafia only runs after the dollar. The potential and the abilities of the 
people ate not interested. It disturbs. That's why everything is done to 
block and suffocate their skills.

That is also the reason why in Latin America no sphere of open debate 
exists. There are only indoctrination from the "Left" and the "Right". 
But no place of open debate.

In Venezuela, I have occupied myself primarily with the systems of 
telecommunications. The main tool for our cooperation across 
geographical and time distances. So I dived into the Fundacion 
Infocentro, regional Fundacite, the Ministry of Science and Technology, 
the schools and universities, CANTV, Conatel, Cenit, Cenditel and all 
the many organizations and institutions.

A sphere of egoism and parasitism, organized stupidity, lies and silly 
chatter. All governmental organizations. People have nothing to do and 
bored. Read and study they do not want. Work anyway. Get to know 
important, that's the only one.

"Free to choose"? What's wrong with it? That people determine their 
living environment itself? That parents determine itself the 
environments of free thinking and studying for their children and their 
friends? That the students determine their environment of study and 
experimentation itself? That people determine itself their watwe 
systems, their supply of thermal and electrical energy, their 
teleommunication, their transport systems, their agriculture, their 
natural seeds? Explain what's wrong.

We should not dump the child with the bath water. That Milton Friedman 
and Friedrich Hayek and the whole "Austrian school of economics" apply 
it differently, is clear. But also Karl Marx has helped because he has 
been reduced to the use value and exchange value. On this basis, the 
followers of the "Austrian School of economics" can say, the value is 
created in the market. But that every thing what we create or fabricate 
has an intrinsic value, that must not happen. Because then the whole 
basis of the value speculation has ended. And so the money system. And 
with that the state systems.

But then what do the people who do not participate in the creation of 
the material base of livelihood? They starve while they sit on their 
moneybags.

About such things we need to discuss. I invite you (and you all) to 
participate in the WSF (World Social Forum) discuss list. This is the 
space where we can discuss our future. Come out of your temples of 
consumerism. Become actors in the reality. We do not need religions. No 
monetary systems, states, nations, gods. This whole nonsense we slide 
into the trash. Or free to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: In the trash heap of 
human history.
