«Caputo busca que el #FMI lo respalde públicamente, porque eso destrabaría el ingreso de millones de dólares de inversión financiera pro-bicicleta a la #Argentina. Comprarían #bonos soberanos (porque viene bajando la tasa de interés) y eso redundaría en una caída del riesgo país, que volvería, a su vez, más tentadora la deuda local. Pero, ¿qué piensa #Georgieva? Que Caputo quiere ese ingreso de #dólares de los fondos de inversión para repagar, en parte, las inversiones que ya se hicieron en el mercado en estos últimos meses. Además, pondera que el ministro aprovecharía la movida para volver a endeudarse con esos mismos fondos, lo que volvería a sentar en la mesa de los acreedores a otro “jugador” que competiría con el propio FMI a la hora del repago de la #deuda. (...) #Caputo llegó a #Washington para mostrarle los números de #superávit. Sin embargo, la jugada quedó empañada por los datos que se conocieron ayer de la #Tesorería: el #Gobierno postergó pagos por $1,61 billones en el primer bimestre para ampliar el superávit fiscal.Y si bien el superávit primario base caja de los primeros tres meses se ubica dentro de los parámetros acordados con el FMI, por encima de los $3 billones -ya conseguidos entre enero y febrero-, el dato relevante que se oculta al Fondo es que la mitad de ello se habría conseguido por demorar los pagos. De acuerdo con datos de la Tesorería General de la Nación, en febrero el Gobierno incrementó lo que se denomina #DeudaFlotante en $900.421 millones, y así acumuló un total de $1,61 billones. Se trata de gastos que ya fueron generados, pero no cancelados. Entre los pagos más importantes postergados en febrero figuran $591.911 millones que corresponden a transferencias, con un acumulado de $884.783 millones en el primer bimestre. Hay que tener en cuenta que el 2023 finalizó con una deuda flotante de $710.416 millones.
En esta línea hay más. Los números preliminares de marzo que arroja la Oficina de Presupuesto del Congreso han dado #DéficitFiscal, primario y financiero. Es decir, en marzo volvieron los números en rojo: unos $61.000 millones de déficit primario y $355.000 millones en el financiero. Y si bien no es para golpearse el pecho (son cifras relativamente bajas), sí estarían marcando un cambio de tendencia, máxime teniendo en cuenta que el Gobierno deberá empezar a pagar las cuentas atrasadas.»

Debe haber pocas cosas más peronistas que el anti-peronismo por derecha.
No porque ese sea su deseo, sino en cuanto al resultado que producen, o la función social-histórica que cumplen.
Como en esa diatriba ("la grieta") el capitalismo no se discute -y esa es la fuente de todos los problemas-, ¿qué otra cosa imaginan, los que sostienen al capitalismo desde un anti-peronismo por derecha -brutal, saqueador, empobrecedor, genocida- que puede elegir la gente luego de otra nueva, vieja masacre social capitalista-derechista?
Su única función es garantizar la rotación hacia el próximo gobierno peronista.
En todo caso, lo que van logrando es derechizar más y más al peronismo (con lo que eso cuesta...) al punto que "la casta" se torna del todo indistinguible. Lousteau es kirchnerista, Scioli es libertario, Fernández es peronista, Larreta es de centro, Carrió es desconcertante (o de la Embajada), Santoro es pejotista, Cristina es libertaria (en el sentido de procurar no ir presa), Pichetto es de todos, Milei es populista-intervencionista, etc.
El único anti-peronismo posible es el anti-peronismo por izquierda. Y el único anti-peronismo por izquierda posible es necesariamente anti-capitalista.
Pero hay que tener ganas de bajarse de la calesita y ponerse a discutir en serio algún futuro, claro.2024-04-09T17:45:31Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
Tal vez hay tres datos que aclaran la situación:
1. Milei es un enfermo mental -inadaptado, infradotado, bruto, resentido, psicótico, etc.
2. Milei es un mentiroso. Nada de lo que dice o afirma tiene ningún valor en términos de coherencia.
3. Milei es un títere de la clase capitalista. Su única función real es incrementar la tasa de explotación laboral, transferir riqueza de trabajadores a parásitos (patronales y usureros), y regalar los bienes públicos a sus jefes.
Bajo estas consideraciones resulta todo comprensible y necesario. No hay misterio. Es necesario invertir la situación actual y llevar a la cárcel a LLA, a sus jefes y a sus cómplices. Eso sólo lo quiere y puede hacer el pueblo trabajador rebelado y en la calle, desde asambleas auto-convocadas, movilizaciones, piquetes, ocupaciones, etc., es decir: lucha frontal. Eso sería lo principal del asunto.
Milei no gobierna, lo dejan gobernar, que es distinto -la casta política y la burocracia sindical, el aparato del Estado.
Si el poder es la ropa, Milei está desnudo.
En última instancia, lo deja gobernar un pueblo manso que todavía parece dispuesto a dejarse explotar y empobrecer. Lo que está en cuestión es por cuánto tiempo.

La lista de casos es espeluznante, dos ejemplos:
Fuente: https://www.correpi.org/2024/memorias-de-marzo/El 28 de marzo de 2012, Matías Lobos, un pibe de 17 años del barrio Los Naranjos, fue fusilado por el subteniente de la policía bonaerense Roberto Julio Páncere en el predio del Hospital de General Rodríguez. Después de cuatro años de lucha organizada, en abril de 2016, le arrebatamos una condena a perpetua al Tribunal N°4 de Mercedes.Mauricio Vega tenía 31 años cuando lo mataron y era murguero. Lo asesinó el cabo Alberto Alejandro Segovia, el 1ero de marzo de 2009, en la ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires. ¿El delito que cometió Mauricio? Subirse a una moto con otro chico para ir a comprar bebidas luego de un carnaval. Segovia lo vio en “actitud sospechosa”, lo persiguió y le disparó en la nuca.2024-04-01T10:34:25Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
Mientras tanto, Milei destruye la UBA y el CONICET y nos hunde en la más bananera de las estanflaciones.
La propaganda comunista es el gobierno de LLA.Advances in digital technologies, the internet of things, green technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) promised breakthroughs across swathes of the economy. Rather than pick a miscellany of emerging industries, China’s new strategy emphasised this cluster of mutually reinforcing technologies. China aimed to become a “world power” in innovation by the middle of this century. By 2020 it was spending almost 2.9trn yuan (2.8% of GDP) on science and technology, according to Rhodium Group, a consultancy. The government’s contribution exceeded 60% if generous tax breaks are included. Of the recipients, a sixth ended up with universities or research institutes. Roughly 60% flowed to companies (see chart).
Mr Naughton has called China’s innovation strategy “the greatest single commitment of government resources to an industrial policy objective in history”. What does the country have to show for it? The results have so far been better than any middle-income country could expect. But they are not quite as impressive as China’s leaders might have hoped.
In e-commerce, fintech, high-speed trains and renewable energy, China is at or near the technological frontier. The same is strikingly apparent in EVs, success with which helped China last year become the world’s biggest exporter of cars. In a list of 64 “critical” technologies identified by the Australian Policy Research Institute, a think-tank, China leads the world in all but 11, based on its share of the most influential papers in the fields. The country is number one in 5G and 6G communications, as well as biomanufacturing, nanomanufacturing and additive manufacturing. It is also out in front in drones, radar, robotics and sonar, as well as post-quantum cryptography.

Milei propone tomar el ejemplo de Estados Unidos, de modo que LLA deberá llamar a los trabajadores de Argentina a sublevarse.

Curious survey (UK, 07-2021):Surveys show that there is a lot of truth in the cliché of the ‘woke socialist Millennial’. Younger people really do quite consistently express hostility to capitalism, and positive views of socialist alternatives of some sort. For example, around 40 per cent of Millennials claim to have a favourable opinion of socialism and a similar proportion agree with the statement that ‘communism could have worked if it had been better executed’.(...)Young people associate ‘socialism’ predominantly with positive terms, such as ‘workers’, ‘public’, ‘equal’ and ‘fair’. Very few associate it with ‘failure’ and virtually nobody associates it with Venezuela, the erstwhile showcase of ‘21st Century Socialism’. Capitalism, meanwhile, is predominantly associated with terms such as ‘exploitative’, ‘unfair’, ‘the rich’ and ‘corporations’.2023-08-18T00:34:21Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers

«When the state of Israel was established in 1948, it took over 78% of Palestine (much more than the 55% that the UN had originally allocated to the nascent Jewish state). Around three-quarters of the Palestinian population – 750,000 people – became refugees, expelled directly by Zionist militias or fleeing to escape massacres and other violence. (...) The Israeli occupation places millions of civilians under martial law. Displacement and immobility are core features of the regime. The construction of illegal Israeli settlements often entails both, uprooting existing Palestinian communities and curtailing their freedom of movement by seizing land across the territory. (...) Meanwhile, Palestinians in Gaza face displacement of a different kind. Although Israel withdrew its settlements from the Gaza Strip in 2005, Palestinians there have continued to lose their homes due to ongoing waves of violence. Some 72,000 were displaced during the 2021 air attack on Gaza, as 2,200 homes were destroyed and another 37,000 damaged.»2023-07-01T19:09:12Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers

Pensions are really deferred wages, deductions from income from work to pay for a decent income when people retire. After decades of work (and exploitation), workers, male and female, should be entitled to stop and enjoy the last decade or so of life without toil without being poverty. Literally, they will have earned it.
(...) ignored is the huge disparity in life expectancy between lower income people retiring and very dependent on state pensions and better-off people with additional company pensions. For example, almost eight years separates the life expectancy of retirees living in exclusive parts of London like Kensington and Chelsea to those living in Glasgow. A 60-year old man in the Scottish city might live a further 19 years. For his London contemporary that rises to 27 years.
(...) the pensions deficit in France is tiny compared with the cost of measures introduced in response to the pandemic (€165bn) and the energy shock (around €100bn), as well as President Macron’s commitments to invest more in nuclear power (€50bn) and defence (€100bn by 2030).
“There are enough resources if they are properly organised and fully used. (...) Does a country want to use its resources so that people can stop work at the age of 60 or 65 and have enough income to live on in reasonable comfort, or not? It can be done.”
(...) decent pensions can be provided by cutting out other calls on government revenues i.e. such as bailing out the banks; increased arms spending; more subsidies for private corporations to invest in fossil fuels; and lower taxes for top earners and corporations etc.
As one French sociologist put it: “For 40 years, successive governments have been asking the French people to accept ‘reforms’ reducing social rights. These have degraded public services in health, education, transport and so on, while eroding purchasing power and worsening working conditions … The French are fed up.
