Oggetto: <caravan99> argentina first hand

the good word first hand from argentina:
 
i just had a wonderful 
time hitching 
through a 150km section of northern argentina which is 
controled by 
activists who have kicked the police and army out. The 
piqueteros are 
amazing. They've used non-violent direct action to 
liberate a town of 
30,000 people, shutdown oil refineries, and generally 
kick ass. Also down 
here the workers have started taking over and running 
the factories 
themsleves without bosses or the owners. Also they 
have all these directly 
democratic assemblies which are coordinating all the 
protests against teh 
economic system, but also they want to scrap 
represnentivie democracy. Now 
i-m in bolivia working on starting an imc here... :) 

Even if the US is fucked up there are some amazing 
things happening in 
south america. Who knows if it will become a 
revolution, but it's the 
closest thing i've ever seen to one.
