My boyfriend and I are watching Ratatouille and he made a comment about the complexity of the sewers at the beginning.

So I, a nerd, go "oh boy do I have a book for you!"

Amd he goes "oh? What book goes that in depth about the Parisienne sewers system?"

And my friends, he was shocked at my answer.

I know this is a blog dedicated to Les Mis, but as Victor Hugo once said: "So long as ignorance and misery remain on earth, there should be a need for books such as this."

Yesterday here in Argentina, as every year, we kept in our memory the victims of the last argentinian dictatorship, wrongfully called "Dirty War" in english speaking countries. There was not a war, dirty nor clean, and it's just a term to minimize the fact that, with the help of the US, the dictators participated in the killing/disappearance of 30.000 people.

They tortured, raped, stole the babies and killed anyone who they consider went against them, often also taking their friends and family. Some of the victims bodies were never recovered, and the culprits refuse to reveal some of their whereabouts.

This is part of the Plan Condor perpetuated by the US, that funded coups all over Latin America, with the excuse of "get rid of the communist threat". They taught the heads of the military of different countries how to chase, torture and kill political opponents, and the US was the first country to recognize these dictators as legitimate, as well as approving a loan to them the same day which left Argentina with a huge illegitimate debt.

A country without memory of its history is condemned to repeat it.

Nunca más.

Today is March 24.

On March 24, 48 years ago, they stained the country with blood.

-Pablo Antonio Miguez was only 14 years old when the military broke into his house and took his parents away. Five minutes later they came to pick him up. They made him watch his mother being tortured so that she would talk. Today he has a statue in the Rio de La Plata, where he was thrown.

-Dagmar Hagelin was 17 years old when she was abducted by mistake in 1977. The military mistook her for María Antonia Berger, a militant of Montoneros, because she had the same hair color. Witnesses saw her alive in the ESMA, she was never heard from again.

-Azucena Villaflor was looking for her missing daughter and joined other mothers. On December 10 they published an advertisement in a newspaper. That same night she was kidnapped and tortured for 10 days, she died from the impact with the sea when she was thrown alive from an airplane.

-María Claudia Falcone was kidnapped and murdered in 1976 in La Noche de los Lápices (The Night of the Pencils) for fighting for a student ticket. She had been 16 years old only a month before.

-Floreal Edgardo Avellaneda. His friends amicably called him "El Negrito". His militancy was to hand out leaflets in the street. He was kidnapped, tortured and murdered in 1976. He was 15 years old.

There are 30,000 disappeared.

Where are they?

This government endorses and promotes the senseless massacre.

Milei presented today to the congress a project that turns him into king.

A project that allows the forces to send you to jail if you protest, no middle grounds. That gives room to consider groupings of three persons or more that are manifesting, a crime. That gives more tools to police to justify shooting you to death. That allows the State to sell everything, our satellites, our airline, our gas, our petrol, our lands... and more, to private foreign companies.

They are trying to override more than 300 laws with one unilateral decree. Now they are presenting this project to the congress, just in case the dictatorial decree is rejected.

If any of these two passes, Argentina gets a crazed king. Is the Excecutive power overpowering the Legislative and Judicial. Is the legalization of political prosecution, is the selling of all of our assets, is the end of hard earned rights for the workers.

Today I went to the streets, to protest this, I got lucky to not get punched by the police just by a hair. We will keep going out, we will keep getting organized. Is that, or Caligula wins.

I write this in english, bc for argentinian social media we have the rest, where we are raging. But also, because the fight is on the streets, on the congress, on all that any organized collective can do to stop him. Here, is just to inform mutuals and foreign friends that this is what happens when the people votes the right and its more deformed version: ancaps. Now, to stop him is key, not only for Argentina, but for the whole region.

The "tactics" of torture, forced disappearance, and clandestine warfare used by the Argentine military dictatorship of 1976-1983 were taught to the Argentine military by their French military "professors," who used them extensively in their miserable attempts to maintain their empire over Vietnam, Algeria and other countries. These techniques of state terror were first used in French colonial violence, and then were applied here, with the approval of Plan Cóndor supported by the United States. The same tortures that were inflicted on Vietnamese peasants and Algerian activists were also inflicted on Argentine students, the same cruelty that the military dictatorships used from Mexico to Chile was dictated as a method at the School of the Americas. In Argentina, 30.000 people were forcibly dissapeared, tortured, raped and killed, and countless others were brutally repressed with scars they, and our entire society, still bear today.

Here is an article (in Spanish) about it.

Imperialism is a never-ending fractal of cruelty.

ISRAEL HAVE STARTED BOMBING RAFAH! THE PLACE THEY INSISTED WAS A SAFE REFUGE FOR THE PEOPLE OF GAZA! ALL EYES ON RAFAH!

[revolutionnaire-farouche]

a man self immolated in front of the israeli embassy in washington dc yesterday. not just any man. an active member of the us air force. he live streamed his death, and said that he refused to be complicit in a genocide any longer. he said that compared to what palestinians were facing every day, setting himself alight was nothing.

let me reiterate. an active duty air force member burned himself alive because he was so disgusted by what the us government was openly supporting. he live-streamed his own suicide, so the whole world could bear witness as a man in his military uniform set himself on fire to protest his government’s complicity in the horrors that we have all been forced to watch happen in real time. he became a new horror. footage of the immolation blurs him out the moment the fire catches, but you can hear him. it is over in seconds, really, but you can hear him screaming. he shouts “free palestine” until his body physically cannot make any sounds other than guttural screams of agony. and then he falls silent. a police officer arrives and points a gun at his still burning body, shouting at him to get down on the ground. and it is over.

his name was Aaron Bushnell. he was twenty five years old. and he isn’t here anymore because the political ruling class has decided that genocide is perfectly fine as long as it preserves imperialism. in the coming days, people will try to discredit him. to say that he was mentally unstable. they will try to bury his actions to save face and defend israel’s propaganda. do not let them. aaron knew what he was doing. he knew what he was doing when he put on his military uniform, set up his twitch stream, and made his final walk up to the embassy. he knew what would happen to him when he flicked that lighter. do not let them forget. aaron’s blood is on the hands of the political ruling class.

Aaron Bushnell died. The active duty US soldier who self immolated in front of the Israeli embassy died of his wounds - he died screaming “Free Palestine” as he burned. He said he no longer wanted to be complicit in genocide. This is the second person to self immolate because of Palestinian Genocide and I hope his story doesn’t get swept under the rug like the first.
