I don't know...another crisis, bigger that previos and...who knows...may be!

[Malvinas Argentinas]

i dont think so... although we are still in crisis. There isnt any real revolutionary force, there are only weak leftist parties. People in the north and in villas cant even think by there own with the present sistem. They are passing hunger. And nobody is doing nothing about it, and i doubt that the comming government will be able to do something. We are suffering a fradulent sistem, were election are useless since people dont even know how to vote, and anybody knows who are they voting. Only some few days are left for de presidential elections and the whole of the people dont even have an idea to who there vote will be directed. I wish a revolution arises in Argentina, but the peoplein this country have a passive activity in politics, and seems they dont care about it. Still we cant blame that people, if they are thinking more in what they are going to eat the next day than in who they are electing in the next week.

Elections in Argentina is like gambling, anyone knows what is comming, but i dont think that we will get a poker in the next hand.

Despite I HATE Menem, I think if he won the next elections (hopefully that disaster won't happen) he would "radicalize" the people more, and that could help to bring up a revolution. Sometimes we think we just can't be worse than we are, but yes, we can. The last crisis has affected the middle class, thus it would be useful to have a worst crisis to crush the middle class definitely. Now they don't feel so powerful and confident, but they are doing their best efforts not fall any lower. Many "mistakes" are being carried on like the eviction of the Brukman factory which was taken over by the workers. This should be regarded as an unfortunate "benefit" as it will move people to struggle harder in order to prevent such events (eviction of taken factories) from occuring again.

We need more factories taken by workers, we need more people to understand the fiction of the Menemist fake-pseudo-capitalism and its consecuences, and we need as many allies as possible. The crushing of the middle class (within a financial and economic context) will aid in the uprising of the lower classes ready to start up a revolution.

The pros is (sadly and unfortunatelly) the crisis and the cons are the possible forthcoming deals with the IMF by the next government.

We need some reasonable amount of time to prepare the conditions so as not to fail like in the mid 70's.
