We consider elections are a part of a corrupt, oppressive and exploitative system. This is not
new, at the origin of the modern conception of anarchy that is around 250 years old, the
spirit of anarchism have always been towards the direct struggle for self-management and
decentralized federalism. This is marked by the construction of legitimate political force at the
grass roots, by the oppressed and exploited. There has always been a resistance to all proposals
that remove this autonomy and elections are the removal of autonomy and they violate the
freedom of people to make policy directly, without representation, without parties, and without
a state.
In this moment of time
here in Brazil we are forced
to another electoral process
that removes the agency of
the people, sowing division
and weakens the struggle
for emancipation. Despite
this, many people who call
themselves anarchists are
propagating the “useful critical
vote,” for fear of consolidating
totalitarian, fascist forces. We
believe that these people are
unaware the reality of the
margins of society, that they do
not live in the poor conditions
of the Brazilian favelas and are
not targets of daily violence
that our oppressed and
exploited people suffers.
By assuming the “left \Slash{} right”
stereotype and still vowing to
“vote” is to demean the struggle
and resistance that our people
have been holding since the
invasion of this land by the
Europeans. Even worse, it is
betraying the principles of
social freedom, equality and
justice so
prevalent in the anarchist
struggle that have led
thousands of anarchists to die
throughout the world in the
struggle against the oppression
and exploitation of tyrannies,
be they economic, social,
political or cultural. Our clashes
have occurred with the right
and left governments, so we
know that none of them are
reliable for a single vote. We
have not forgotten how we
have been beaten by the forces
of repression over the past 10
years, nor have we forgotten
the persecution and threats
against our activists, in which
they have been arrested for
demonstrating on the streets
against the state.
We are not interested in the
result of the polls, in them our
protest has always been and is
void or not vote. The important
thing is to maintain and expand
the struggle and resistance for
the emancipation of all the
oppressed and exploited and
that will happen regardless
of who wins the electoral tax
process. Our actions are in the
communities where we build
direct democracies , with wide
popular participation, without
parties, without bosses.
We guarantee that the fight
in this way expands the
anarchist experiences and
favours the process of social
emancipation that we seek.
We reinforce that in 2019 we
will be at the forefront of the
struggle for freedom, equality
and social justice for the social
emancipation of
our oppressed and exploited
people, regardless of who is
elected, because we know
that our struggle will always
be against all political parties,
against tyrant and authoritarian
groups that live off the
exploitation and oppression of
all our people.
Anarchist do not vote,they
fight!
