Anarchist occupy argentinian embassy in London!! (english) by @narchy 5:57am Thu Jan 10 '02 tpktpk@hotmail.com A group of Anarchists are occupying the Argentinian Embassy in support of the peoples' rejection of their "leaders". For immediate release: Argentinian Embassy occupied by Anarchists Those Pesky Kids [TPK]: 07950 567 099 ***PRESS RELEASE*** A group of Anarchists are occupying the Argentinian Embassy in support of the peoples' rejection of their "leaders". The occupation of the embassy is in solidarity with the insurrectionary events instigated by the majority of the Argentinian population. We wholeheartedly support the dreams and desires of the peope as they reject the right of governments and corporations to rule them. Once heralded as the golden child of economic liberalisation, the country has now plummeted into a state of poverty and chaos, saddled with US$155 Billion debt and unemployment levels of 18%. The economic collapse in Argentina is due to the expansion of free-market liberalisation and the imposition of IMF enforced Structural Adjustment Programs including the relentless privatisation of public services. These very same policies have caused ruin across the globe, from the privatisation of water in Bolivia to the choas of Railtrack in Britain. Instead of merely accepting the ruin wreaked by over a decade of IMF austerity measures and structural adjustment policies - policies that continue a centuries old system of profiteering and exploitation - people across Argentina have autonomously organised accountable and democratic self-governing assemblies to transfrom the country. We have occupied this embassy to highlight the illegitimacy not just of the Argentinian government, but of all governments. The situation in Argentina shows both the failure of capitalism as a global system and the revolutionary strength of peoples' empowerment. We endorse the peoples' cry of no leaders no governments! We endorse peoples' liberation! We endorse the creation of a new society, free from oppression and exploitation! We endorse the continued destruction of capitalism!
