BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA: 4 YEARS AFTER THE DEATH OF ANARCHIST COMRADE SANTIAGO MALDONADO

Four years after the murder of Santiago Maldonado we continue to vindicate our comrade.

Because anarchic memory is action, we call to remember Lechu, emphasizing the ideals and perspectives of our comrade.

We do not forget that Santiago was killed by the repressive agents of the State at a barricade in the Puelmapu, nor do we forget the usurpation that reformist sectors and supporters of this society made of his death, using his look and his body for their political moves. For this reason:

  • This year we propose NOT to use Santiago’s physical image in the propaganda, but rather his songs, ideas and practices, thus fighting the emptying and the washed out image that they have raised from the power.
  • Because we know that Lechu fought for the land and against capital, we propose to emphasize a multiform memory, which inevitably leads us to remember other comrades fallen in these same struggles. Thus, six months after the assassination of Baucis by hired assassins in the midst of the recovery of Mapuche land, we call for Bau to be present in the actions that we carry out.
  • We propose a memory of action that assumes that enemies are everywhere, which broadens our capacity to attack. We can be creative in attacking, let us not forget.

For a black memory,
to multiply propaganda and actions
No comrade is forgotten.

To our comrades in the dungeons of power in Chile, know that you are with us in every action.

July 2021,
MalosAires, Territory (still) dominated by the Argentine State.
