Anarchism at a school in Argentina

in #anarchism8 years ago (edited)

In the history class, my professor make four groups. One group had to investigate nationalism. The other group had to investigate liberalism. The other group had to investigate socialism. The other group had to investigate anarchism. I asked for anarchism.. With the idea of chaos without law.. I was wrong. 

I studied anarchism. Instead of doing a work about anarchism, I preferred to focus more on anarchism in Argentina. The professor love my job. A few days before the exhibition of work he told me "Argentina was one of the places with the highest concentration anarchist" 

There is an Italian guy, who lived in Argentina, called Errico Malatesta; my job have some phrases (I know it in spanish only, but google translate works well) "Anarquista es, por definicion, aquel que no quiere estar oprimido y no quere ser opresor; aquel que quiere el maximo bienestar, la maxima libertad, el maximo desarrollo posible para todos los seres humanos" (Anarchist is, by definition, one who does not want to be oppressed and not to be oppressive; who wants maximum comfort, maximum freedom, the maximum possible development for all human beings) and "Si no hay justicia para el pueblo, entonces que no haya paz para el gobierno" (If there is no justice for the people, then there is no peace for the government). 

My group and I realized that we had anarchist ideologies. My best friend and I are the delegates of the class , went to the student center, and we put together a new list "Rebel Art " (We called him "Rebel Art" because in spanish means "Rebel Arte" and "Rebel Arte" means "Rebelling" [Until then had a single list , called "List X" because several members of that list , missed the meetings of the student center]) As the "list X" did nothing for school, we felt the obligation to make a list if you do something. 


Came the election day.

We knew we were going to lose. Our list was worried because we were honest when submitting the list and what it would do for school.

In 2013, the government sent people to build three classrooms because the school is overcrowded . They don't have much space to add three classrooms, so they decided to make a second floor. What they did? They broke the foundations of three classrooms to be viable second floor. But from the government, stop paying the builders (God knows why). And the builders stopped working, they don't fixed the foundations that broke, and now we have three classrooms less. And the school has overpopulation. Principal remove the staffroom to turn it into the classroom. "Rebel Art " made ​​the promise of recover the lost classrooms, and put the promised classrooms. How? We said that the people on the list would go to the capital to do everything possible to recover the classroom.

We lose.

We were not surprised. "List X" said he would put wifi in classrooms.

 
What happened after? "RebelArt" went to the capital city to fight for the lost classrooms, so far able to recover only two classrooms. And we continue fighting for the remaining four , and we have other ideas in mind to make school a more comfortable place.

Oh, I forgot, "List X" never put wifi in rooms. But anyway, this is one year old.


Sort:
