Our organization took a position on the military coup in Honduras:
1. Once again the bourgeoisie allied with the armed forces tipped a coup against a constitutionally elected president in the institutional framework of their own class. It is strange in the eyes of the world one action of this magnitude, even more so when those same national bourgeoisie did gargle with "Never Again" and other phrases for the bronze after bleaching sponsored dictatorships and coup waves that ravaged the continent during the second half of the twentieth century.
2. Our organization rejects the arguments oligarchs on the illegitimacy of the "Popular Consultation" convened by a non-binding as an engine for Manuel Zelaya in Honduras Beat Gorilla, because this would ignore the long history of attacks on people's progress in the last time by the bourgeois parties, including the Liberal organization (the organization which was elected Zelaya), whose ultimate expression was the law banning holding consultations 180 days before an election, an argument put forward that the bourgeoisie, their parties and their FFAA to discuss the referendum illegitimate, accusing Zelaya of falling in practice and therefore unconstitutional to execute the coup.
3. We note clearly that the CIA and the Government of the United States have learned from the failed coup in Venezuela against President Chavez. This time the White House openly rejected the coup in Honduras, which is consistent with the urgent laundering U.S. image in the region in light of his loss of influence and the need to gain ground lost in a boiling popular continent while still supporting the old doctrine of national security, graduating senior in Latin America's infamous School of the Americas, where the same graduated with honors putschists Honduran officials, including chief of staff Romeo Vasquez Velasquez and Head of Air Force Luis Javier Suazo Prince.
4. Our organization openly recognized the government of Manuel Zelaya, as expression of popular aspirations in decades, which in terms of foreign policy is mirrored in alignment with the governments that support the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas ( ALBA), which have been formed in the last 15 years in our continent. We firmly believe that this attitude of the government of Zelaya, placed next to the working people, poor, indigenous and marginalized from Honduras and the governments of Venezuela, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Ecuador, El Salvador, has been the trigger for the establishment of the dictatorship in honduras.
5. Located on the State of Chile to define themselves against the coup beyond declarations of good will. In our view, the minimum action that should be undertaken at the height of the decent people of Honduras, is totally breaking diplomatic and trade relations with the civilian-military dictatorship.
6. The resistance that has developed with its indigenous people, community, civil union, in the streets of Honduras is a demonstration that Zelaya's government is backed by the people, because in parliament while the president has no allies, the people in the streets demanding his return to demand via the General Strike. We hold that the military coup in any drowns the hopes of the Honduran people, on the contrary, this event will allow an exponential leap in the development of their political and social organizations, with regard to the maturation of a collective society and the definition of a road itself for the release beyond the scope of democratic reforms. The overthrow of the government of Zelaya, has allowed not only demonstrate the lack of social support bourgeois imperialist project, but has allowed millions to open the eyes not only in Honduras but also in Latin America and the world in order to advance the boundaries of the bourgeois democratic framework.
7. The Libertarian Communist Organization of Chile rejects coup gorilla in Honduras, and is aligned with the decent people of Central America in the rejection of the puppet government of Roberto Micheletti. We know, and history gives us the reason that dictatorships are not exceptional events in the life of nations, but a weapon of the appellant and the imperialist bourgeoisie. Today in the Honduran people claim the street what they have chosen at the polls, but we know that tomorrow, the same people in the same streets and build the people power to their release.
ˇˇˇArriba and the fighting!
ˇˇˇVenceremos! Source: A-infos

I think "gorilla" is supposed to be "gorila" which in Spanish can mean "fascist" (according to wordreference.com).

Strange that 'anarchists' find it appropriate to appeal to the bourgeois state for action and solutions to the crisis.

I think that it is actually quite an important point. It is strange that people are critcised for trying to raise points for discussion on...a discussion board.
I think that there are many anarchists who don't have a consistent attitude to the state, and whilst coming out with a lot of radical phraseology, often end up supporting or even appealing to different factions of the ruling class.
This inconsistence was one of the main reasons that I personally broke from anarchism over twenty years ago.
As for the bit about people 'sitting on their computers on another continent, for me this is one of the really exciting things about the Internet. When I was first coming into politics international discussions required a long tedious excange of letters. Today we can learn a comrade on another continents ideas instantaneously. We can hold a real international dialogue on the work we do. Hopefully helping to centralize our experience and improve our activity.

What a shame that gorillas are synonymous with fascism in Spanish. Gorillas are very empathic and sensitive beings, who eat trees.
