Protest against capital and its democracy of the rich at the University of Chile
translated from Hommodolars (autonomous collective of counter-information)
Thursday, December 8th, 2005
Yesterday, once again*, at the Juan Gómez Millas campus of the University of Chile (in Santiago), masked demonstrators broke with the tranquility and passivity imposed by capital and fought for nearly 40 minutes against police using firebombs and stones.
Propaganda was spread (through shouting, leaflets, banners, and graffiti) indicating that the main reason for this direct action was the upcoming elections which perpetuate exploitation and domination by the rich.
Some slogans and graffiti messages (which included the circle A symbol for anarchism) used in relation to this direct action:
"Because we have nothing, we will destroy everything"
"Against the electoral circus! In the streets!"
"Against the democracy of the rich - struggle in the streets"
"Elections prolong slavery and we denounce and fight them"
"Because the vote only makes the rich powerful, we've chosen violence"
"Against the election of future exploiters"
"Against all authority, verticalism and central committees"

*Masked demonstrators carried out a similar action, for the same reason, outside the campus at the end of November.

The Spanish phrase "el voto hace mas rikos a los poderoses" translates as "the vote makes the powerful richer", not as "the vote only makes the rich powerful".
(Presumably, "mas" should be the accented word "mås". Also, like many anarchists, punks and other orthographic subversives (:->), they use the letter "k", which is found only in some loan words in standard Spanish, in place of the conventional way of writing that sound: "qu" before "e" and "i" and "c" before "a", "o" or "u".}
