00:00:06,774 --> 00:00:08,889
This episode of It's the End of the World

2
00:00:08,889 --> 00:00:10,589
as we know it and I feel fine

3
00:00:10,589 --> 00:00:12,559
was made possible by contributions

4
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:14,003
from slaves like you.

5
00:00:14,003 --> 00:00:15,036
Spank you very much!

6
00:00:15,509 --> 00:00:17,541
Nice little revolution we're having here.

7
00:00:17,541 --> 00:00:19,980
Revolution? What do you mean revolution?

8
00:00:19,980 --> 00:00:21,203
Please... don't try to tell me about

9
00:00:21,203 --> 00:00:22,028
revolution.

10
00:00:22,028 --> 00:00:23,110
I know all about the revolutions

11
00:00:23,110 --> 00:00:24,004
and how they start.

12
00:00:24,004 --> 00:00:25,103
The people that read the books

13
00:00:25,103 --> 00:00:26,193
they go to the people who don't

14
00:00:26,193 --> 00:00:27,057
read the books,

15
00:00:27,057 --> 00:00:28,275
the poor people, and they say

16
00:00:28,275 --> 00:00:29,802
the time has come to have a change, huh?

17
00:00:29,802 --> 00:00:30,876
Shhhhhh!

18
00:00:30,876 --> 00:00:33,156
Shhh-shhh-shhh shit shoosh!

19
00:00:33,356 --> 00:00:34,416
I know what I'm talking about

20
00:00:34,416 --> 00:00:36,356
when I'm talking about the revolutions.

21
00:00:37,986 --> 00:00:39,706
The people who read the books

22
00:00:39,706 --> 00:00:41,373
go to the people who can't the books,

23
00:00:41,373 --> 00:00:42,106
the poor people,

24
00:00:42,106 --> 00:00:43,532
and say we have to have a change.

25
00:00:43,532 --> 00:00:45,512
So the poor people make the change.

26
00:00:45,762 --> 00:00:47,549
And then the people who read the books,

27
00:00:47,549 --> 00:00:49,054
they all sit around the big polished

28
00:00:49,054 --> 00:00:51,006
tables, and they talk and talk and talk,

29
00:00:51,006 --> 00:00:51,990
and eat and eat and eat...

30
00:00:51,990 --> 00:00:54,141
But what has happened to the poor people?

31
00:00:56,221 --> 00:00:57,277
They're dead!

32
00:01:03,447 --> 00:01:05,959
Goooooooood morning slaves

33
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,362
and welcome to another sedition of

34
00:01:07,362 --> 00:01:08,906
It's the End of the World as we Know it

35
00:01:08,906 --> 00:01:10,002
and I Feel Fine

36
00:01:10,002 --> 00:01:11,263
the show where athletes double

37
00:01:11,263 --> 00:01:12,402
as travel agents.

38
00:01:12,402 --> 00:01:13,867
We did get word that a famous

39
00:01:13,867 --> 00:01:16,105
Brazilian football star, Rivaldo,

40
00:01:16,105 --> 00:01:17,653
who's hugely famous, did make some

41
00:01:17,653 --> 00:01:19,115
very controversial comments...

42
00:01:19,115 --> 00:01:20,863
Rivaldo has called on tourists

43
00:01:20,863 --> 00:01:22,853
not to travel to Rio de Janiero

44
00:01:22,853 --> 00:01:24,726
for the Olympic Games.

45
00:01:24,726 --> 00:01:26,270
And what he said is

46
00:01:26,270 --> 00:01:28,309
international visitors should stay away

47
00:01:28,309 --> 00:01:29,750
from the Olympic Games.

48
00:01:29,750 --> 00:01:31,318
They'll be putting their lives at risk

49
00:01:31,318 --> 00:01:32,130
if they do come.

50
00:01:32,130 --> 00:01:33,513
Uh.... I'm not going.

51
00:01:34,943 --> 00:01:36,197
I am your host the Stimulator

52
00:01:36,197 --> 00:01:37,906
and ten years ago, leftists worldwide

53
00:01:37,906 --> 00:01:39,563
were celebrating the so-called pink tide

54
00:01:39,563 --> 00:01:42,172
that was sweeping across Latin America.

55
00:01:42,172 --> 00:01:43,756
Like the commie domino-effect

56
00:01:43,756 --> 00:01:45,255
nightmares that keep Henry Kissenger

57
00:01:45,255 --> 00:01:46,156
up at night...

58
00:01:46,156 --> 00:01:47,334
THE HORROR

59
00:01:47,334 --> 00:01:49,123
in country after country

60
00:01:49,123 --> 00:01:50,713
socialist heads of state were


61
00:01:50,713 --> 00:01:51,892
elected into office,

62
00:01:51,892 --> 00:01:54,126
promising to break their countries free

63
00:01:54,126 --> 00:01:55,957
from the shackles of the IMF

64
00:01:55,957 --> 00:01:57,705
and to slap down the corrupt

65
00:01:57,705 --> 00:01:59,167
local mothafuckin elite,

66
00:01:59,167 --> 00:02:00,999
who for decades had grown accustomed

67
00:02:00,999 --> 00:02:02,585
to treating national economies

68
00:02:02,585 --> 00:02:03,559
like their own personal

69
00:02:03,559 --> 00:02:04,843
fucking piggy banks.

70
00:02:04,843 --> 00:02:07,062
In many ways this gauchismo was fuelled

71
00:02:07,062 --> 00:02:08,596
by the explosive growth

72
00:02:08,596 --> 00:02:10,182
of militant social movements,

73
00:02:10,182 --> 00:02:11,887
comprised of a dynamic mix

74
00:02:11,887 --> 00:02:13,202
of urban proles,

75
00:02:13,202 --> 00:02:14,444
landless peasants,

76
00:02:14,444 --> 00:02:15,542
and Indigenous peeps.

77
00:02:15,542 --> 00:02:17,611
Buuuuuuut while it's undeniable that

78
00:02:17,611 --> 00:02:19,275
the past ten years has witnessed

79
00:02:19,275 --> 00:02:20,823
important gains in the region,

80
00:02:20,823 --> 00:02:22,694
from declining rates of poverty

81
00:02:22,694 --> 00:02:23,873
and illiteracy,

82
00:02:23,873 --> 00:02:26,550
to massive increases in social spending...

83
00:02:26,550 --> 00:02:28,876
the reality is that this experiment

84
00:02:28,876 --> 00:02:30,901
in Socialism for the 21st Century

85
00:02:30,901 --> 00:02:33,019
was still capitalist as fuck

86
00:02:33,019 --> 00:02:34,727
and largely financed by

87
00:02:34,727 --> 00:02:36,310
the historic high price of oil

88
00:02:36,310 --> 00:02:38,464
and other export commodities.

89
00:02:38,464 --> 00:02:39,721
And now that the party’s over,

90
00:02:39,721 --> 00:02:40,721
the pendulum is starting to

91
00:02:40,721 --> 00:02:42,661
swing back to the right.

92
00:02:42,883 --> 00:02:44,935
While Dubya and his batshit cabal

93
00:02:44,935 --> 00:02:47,409
of neocon advisers were too distracted

94
00:02:47,409 --> 00:02:49,084
by their crazy fucking obsession

95
00:02:49,084 --> 00:02:50,304
with bombing the Middle East

96
00:02:50,304 --> 00:02:51,312
into freedom,

97
00:02:51,312 --> 00:02:53,227
the Obama administration

98
00:02:53,227 --> 00:02:54,617
has quietly been hard at work

99
00:02:54,617 --> 00:02:56,119
re-asserting the Monroe Doctrine

100
00:02:56,119 --> 00:02:58,115
of American hemispheric dominance.

101
00:02:58,115 --> 00:02:59,823
From the Hillary-orchestrated

102
00:02:59,823 --> 00:03:02,395
coup d'état in Honduras, in 2009,

103
00:03:02,595 --> 00:03:04,452
to Obama's historic meeting

104
00:03:04,452 --> 00:03:06,120
with Raul Castro, that helped open

105
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,359
Cuba's proud and culturally-rich nation

106
00:03:08,359 --> 00:03:10,186
to the plague of American tourists....


107
00:03:10,186 --> 00:03:12,307
the United Snakes sits poised and ready

108
00:03:12,307 --> 00:03:14,208
to capitalize on the economic

109
00:03:14,208 --> 00:03:15,965
and political chaos currently

110
00:03:15,965 --> 00:03:17,509
destabilizing the region.

111
00:03:17,509 --> 00:03:18,355
The point is...

112
00:03:18,355 --> 00:03:20,111
the United States will not be

113
00:03:20,111 --> 00:03:21,941
imprisoned by the past.

114
00:03:21,941 --> 00:03:24,698
And at the top of their list is Venezuela,

115
00:03:24,698 --> 00:03:26,618
the oil-rich nation currently

116
00:03:26,618 --> 00:03:28,205
wracked by hyper-inflation,

117
00:03:28,205 --> 00:03:30,669
shortages of food and basic goods,

118
00:03:30,669 --> 00:03:32,595
and an energy crisis that has

119
00:03:32,595 --> 00:03:34,826
given rise to daily rolling blackouts.

120
00:03:34,826 --> 00:03:36,177
Scenes of mass looting

121
00:03:36,177 --> 00:03:37,921
and violent street clashes between

122
00:03:37,921 --> 00:03:39,667
opponents and supporters of

123
00:03:39,667 --> 00:03:41,540
President Nicolas Maduro,

124
00:03:41,540 --> 00:03:43,288
have American policy-makers

125
00:03:43,288 --> 00:03:45,771
and oil companies salivating at the

126
00:03:45,771 --> 00:03:48,014
prospect of imminent state collapse.

127
00:03:48,014 --> 00:03:49,951
For his part, Maduro has declared

128
00:03:49,951 --> 00:03:51,587
a state of emergency,

129
00:03:51,587 --> 00:03:53,784
and has given a tentative green light

130
00:03:53,784 --> 00:03:56,220
for workers to start expropriating

131
00:03:56,220 --> 00:03:57,316
closed factories,

132
00:03:57,316 --> 00:03:59,274
in a desperate effort to shore up

133
00:03:59,274 --> 00:04:00,617
his declining support,

134
00:04:00,617 --> 00:04:02,601
and kick-start the economy.


135
00:04:02,601 --> 00:04:04,714
Maduro is facing the prospect of

136
00:04:04,714 --> 00:04:06,106
a recall referendum,

137
00:04:06,106 --> 00:04:08,623
a constitutional process which he has

138
00:04:08,623 --> 00:04:10,288
decried as a Washington-backed

139
00:04:10,288 --> 00:04:11,304
coup d'etat,

140
00:04:11,304 --> 00:04:13,132
echoing the language of his former

141
00:04:13,132 --> 00:04:15,408
fellow comrade-in-chief, Dilma Rousseff

142
00:04:15,408 --> 00:04:17,319
who was suspended from office


143
00:04:17,319 --> 00:04:18,783
following an impeachment vote

144
00:04:18,783 --> 00:04:20,976
in Brazil's senate on May 12th.

145
00:04:21,256 --> 00:04:23,051
I have not committed any crime

146
00:04:23,051 --> 00:04:24,596
under the constitution and law

147
00:04:24,596 --> 00:04:25,894
to justify an interruption

148
00:04:25,894 --> 00:04:27,116
to my mandate.

149
00:04:27,116 --> 00:04:28,662
To condemn someone for a crime

150
00:04:28,662 --> 00:04:29,962
that they did not commit,

151
00:04:29,962 --> 00:04:31,308
is the greatest violence

152
00:04:31,308 --> 00:04:32,852
that can be committed against

153
00:04:32,852 --> 00:04:33,979
any person.

154
00:04:33,979 --> 00:04:36,066
Leftists and so-called progressives

155
00:04:36,066 --> 00:04:37,437
around the world have faithfully

156
00:04:37,437 --> 00:04:38,829
echoed the Telesur line,

157
00:04:38,829 --> 00:04:40,942
describing the opposition's power-grab

158
00:04:40,942 --> 00:04:42,525
in Brazil as a coup,

159
00:04:42,525 --> 00:04:43,900
or golpeachment.

160
00:04:43,900 --> 00:04:45,775
Buuuuuuuuuuuuut many of the peeps

161
00:04:45,775 --> 00:04:47,932
taking to facebook to valiantly decry

162
00:04:47,932 --> 00:04:49,839
this gross breach of democratic process

163
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,654
seem perfectly fucking content to ignore

164
00:04:52,654 --> 00:04:54,322
the fact that Dilma had become

165
00:04:54,322 --> 00:04:56,473
a widely hated figure, with an

166
00:04:56,473 --> 00:04:59,075
approval rating of just 9 fucking percent

167
00:04:59,075 --> 00:05:00,948
and millions of peeps regularly taking

168
00:05:00,948 --> 00:05:03,101
to the streets to demand her resignation.

169
00:05:03,101 --> 00:05:04,727
Or that she was president of

170
00:05:04,727 --> 00:05:05,987
the board of directors of

171
00:05:05,987 --> 00:05:07,933
the state oil company Petrobras,

172
00:05:07,933 --> 00:05:10,869
while upwards of 33 billion

173
00:05:10,869 --> 00:05:12,981
fucking dollars was lost to corruption,

174
00:05:12,981 --> 00:05:14,893
in a giant fucking scandal

175
00:05:14,893 --> 00:05:16,606
that implicated more than half of

176
00:05:16,606 --> 00:05:17,824
the country's sitting politicians,

177
00:05:17,824 --> 00:05:20,467
including many members of her own party.

178
00:05:20,467 --> 00:05:23,269
Or the inconveniently neoliberal character

179
00:05:23,269 --> 00:05:24,683
of her government itself,

180
00:05:24,683 --> 00:05:27,207
which oversaw the violent pacification


181
00:05:27,207 --> 00:05:28,715
of the county's favelas

182
00:05:28,715 --> 00:05:31,767
by heavily militarized BOPE pigs,

183
00:05:31,767 --> 00:05:33,391
and the massive waste of money

184
00:05:33,391 --> 00:05:35,060
spent on useless fucking infrastructure

185
00:05:35,060 --> 00:05:37,295
to prepare the country to play host

186
00:05:37,295 --> 00:05:39,779
to the World Cup in 2014,

187
00:05:39,779 --> 00:05:41,678
and the FIVE COCK RINGS OF DEATH

188
00:05:41,678 --> 00:05:42,782
this summer....

189
00:05:42,782 --> 00:05:43,832
which, by the way,

190
00:05:43,832 --> 00:05:45,135
look like they're slated to be

191
00:05:45,135 --> 00:05:46,277
an epic fucking disaster.

192
00:05:47,273 --> 00:05:48,586
So... while it's true that

193
00:05:48,586 --> 00:05:50,538
the old-guard of Latin American politics

194
00:05:50,538 --> 00:05:52,813
are corrupt, neoliberal pieces of shit,

195
00:05:52,813 --> 00:05:54,519
in the pocket of Uncle Sam,

196
00:05:54,519 --> 00:05:56,549
it's also long-time past due

197
00:05:56,549 --> 00:05:57,810
that leftist commentators

198
00:05:57,810 --> 00:05:59,074
got over their moralistic

199
00:05:59,074 --> 00:06:01,512
and hypocritical rhetoric of democracy

200
00:06:01,512 --> 00:06:02,484
and realized that

201
00:06:02,484 --> 00:06:04,113
class war is a gruelling process,

202
00:06:04,113 --> 00:06:05,738
and that the impetus for

203
00:06:05,738 --> 00:06:06,998
revolutionary transformation

204
00:06:06,998 --> 00:06:08,178
comes from below,

205
00:06:08,178 --> 00:06:10,336
not from top-down state structures,

206
00:06:10,336 --> 00:06:12,125
no matter how revolutionary

207
00:06:12,125 --> 00:06:14,037
their leaders claim to be.

208
00:07:18,424 --> 00:07:20,465
This year marks the tenth anniversary

209
00:07:20,465 --> 00:07:22,208
of the mothafuckin Oaxaca Commune,

210
00:07:22,208 --> 00:07:24,492
a seven month long popular insurrection

211
00:07:24,492 --> 00:07:25,918
in the land of tacos,

212
00:07:25,918 --> 00:07:27,913
dubbed by some commentators as

213
00:07:27,913 --> 00:07:29,455
the first Latin American revolution

214
00:07:29,455 --> 00:07:30,880
of the 21st century.

215
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,833
For those not familiar with

216
00:07:32,833 --> 00:07:34,460
this epic fucking chapter in

217
00:07:34,460 --> 00:07:35,882
the annals of revolt,

218
00:07:35,882 --> 00:07:39,091
the Oaxacan uprising began in May of 2006

219
00:07:39,091 --> 00:07:41,566
when members of the famously militant

220
00:07:41,566 --> 00:07:44,383
Section 22 of the national teachers union,

221
00:07:44,383 --> 00:07:46,787
the CNTE, went on strike

222
00:07:46,787 --> 00:07:48,206
and occupied the central square,

223
00:07:48,206 --> 00:07:50,317
or Zócalo, in the state's capital

224
00:07:50,317 --> 00:07:51,698
of Oaxaca City,

225
00:07:51,698 --> 00:07:52,947
demanding that the government invest

226
00:07:52,947 --> 00:07:54,944
more public skrilla in education,

227
00:07:54,944 --> 00:07:56,449
and specifically in schools located

228
00:07:56,449 --> 00:07:58,449
in the state's remote rural areas,

229
00:07:58,449 --> 00:08:00,231
where the majority of the students

230
00:08:00,231 --> 00:08:01,377
come from the families of

231
00:08:01,377 --> 00:08:02,801
poor Indigenous farmers.

232
00:08:02,801 --> 00:08:04,424
Buuuuuuuuuuut rather than

233
00:08:04,424 --> 00:08:06,050
break them off a bigger piece,

234
00:08:06,050 --> 00:08:07,109
on June 14th,

235
00:08:07,109 --> 00:08:09,174
Oaxaca's fascistic fucking governor,

236
00:08:09,174 --> 00:08:10,852
Ulises Ruiz Ortiz,

237
00:08:10,852 --> 00:08:12,765
sent in a squad of 3000 pigs

238
00:08:12,765 --> 00:08:13,939
to violently clear out

239
00:08:13,939 --> 00:08:15,081
the teachers' occupation,

240
00:08:15,081 --> 00:08:16,705
and shut down their radio station,

241
00:08:16,705 --> 00:08:18,088
Radio Planton,

242
00:08:18,088 --> 00:08:19,678
which had been broadcasting updates

243
00:08:19,678 --> 00:08:20,732
about the strike,

244
00:08:20,732 --> 00:08:22,104
alongside interviews with grateful

245
00:08:22,104 --> 00:08:23,251
parents and students.


246
00:08:23,251 --> 00:08:24,753
Well.... as shit turns out,

247
00:08:24,753 --> 00:08:26,624
that was a big mothafuckin mistake!


248
00:08:26,624 --> 00:08:28,131
Responding immediately to

249
00:08:28,131 --> 00:08:29,270
this blatant act of aggression,

250
00:08:29,270 --> 00:08:30,547
thousands of peeps

251
00:08:30,547 --> 00:08:31,462
took to the streets,

252
00:08:31,462 --> 00:08:33,204
kicked the pigs outta dodge,

253
00:08:33,204 --> 00:08:35,206
and set to work building barricades.

254
00:08:35,206 --> 00:08:37,068
At its peak, the Oaxaca Commune

255
00:08:37,068 --> 00:08:39,469
was dotted with over 3,000 barricades,

256
00:08:39,469 --> 00:08:41,539
which completely paralyzed the pigs

257
00:08:41,539 --> 00:08:42,586
ability to operate,

258
00:08:42,586 --> 00:08:44,336
launch raids, or make deployments

259
00:08:44,336 --> 00:08:46,156
anywhere in the fucking city.

260
00:08:46,156 --> 00:08:47,410
In other words... for months

261
00:08:47,410 --> 00:08:49,314
there were no fucking police!

262
00:08:49,314 --> 00:08:52,569
BASS DROP

263
00:08:52,569 --> 00:08:53,785
Within this power vacuum,

264
00:08:53,785 --> 00:08:55,046
a horizontal structure

265
00:08:55,046 --> 00:08:56,663
of popular self-governance,

266
00:08:56,663 --> 00:08:58,252
called the Asamblea Popular

267
00:08:58,252 --> 00:08:59,680
de los Pueblos de Oaxaca,

268
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:00,777
or APPO,

269
00:09:00,777 --> 00:09:02,888
was formed to take over the coordination

270
00:09:02,888 --> 00:09:04,717
of self-defense and organization

271
00:09:04,717 --> 00:09:06,631
of everyday life in the commune. 


272
00:09:06,631 --> 00:09:09,037
The revolt spread quickly across Oaxaca

273
00:09:09,037 --> 00:09:10,911
with students occupying their universities

274
00:09:10,911 --> 00:09:12,213
and other peeps occupying

275
00:09:12,213 --> 00:09:13,228
government buildings,

276
00:09:13,228 --> 00:09:14,855
and forming popular assemblies

277
00:09:14,855 --> 00:09:16,766
in cities and villages across the state.

278
00:09:16,766 --> 00:09:18,476
All of these assemblies issued

279
00:09:18,476 --> 00:09:20,512
repeated demands that the state’s governor

280
00:09:20,512 --> 00:09:22,141
step down and fuck off.


281
00:09:22,141 --> 00:09:23,197
On August 1st,

282
00:09:23,197 --> 00:09:24,987
a mob of revolutionary women

283
00:09:24,987 --> 00:09:26,563
seized the state radio

284
00:09:26,563 --> 00:09:27,669
and television stations,

285
00:09:27,669 --> 00:09:29,789
transforming them into vital hubs

286
00:09:29,789 --> 00:09:31,702
of communication and coordination,

287
00:09:31,702 --> 00:09:32,883
broadcasting regular

288
00:09:32,883 --> 00:09:34,664
revolutionary programming, and updates

289
00:09:34,664 --> 00:09:36,824
of activity within the liberated area.

290
00:09:36,824 --> 00:09:38,654
Women took a leading role in many other

291
00:09:38,654 --> 00:09:40,726
aspects of the insurrection as well,

292
00:09:40,726 --> 00:09:42,679
from organizing rallies and marches,

293
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:43,899
to defending barricades,

294
00:09:43,899 --> 00:09:45,527
and by doing so were able to

295
00:09:45,527 --> 00:09:47,030
temporarily liberate themselves

296
00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:49,227
from the patriarchal division of labour

297
00:09:49,227 --> 00:09:51,297
that had traditionally relegated them

298
00:09:51,297 --> 00:09:53,003
to roles as domestic caregivers

299
00:09:53,003 --> 00:09:54,827
Tragically, the Oaxaca Commune

300
00:09:54,827 --> 00:09:56,668
had its beating heart ripped out

301
00:09:56,668 --> 00:09:57,931
in late October,

302
00:09:57,931 --> 00:09:59,436
when an army of Federal police

303
00:09:59,436 --> 00:10:01,087
managed to clear out the

304
00:10:01,087 --> 00:10:03,147
occupied Zócalo in Oaxaca City.

305
00:10:03,147 --> 00:10:04,724
While sustained resistance continued

306
00:10:04,724 --> 00:10:05,988
for another two months,

307
00:10:05,988 --> 00:10:07,614
these were dark fucking days,

308
00:10:07,614 --> 00:10:09,556
in which many revolutionary militants

309
00:10:09,556 --> 00:10:10,829
were detained and arrested

310
00:10:10,829 --> 00:10:12,211
on trumped up charges,

311
00:10:12,211 --> 00:10:13,674
and dozens more disappeared,

312
00:10:13,674 --> 00:10:14,973
or assassinated by mothafuckin

313
00:10:14,973 --> 00:10:16,437
paramilitary death squads

314
00:10:16,437 --> 00:10:19,123
working for the Mexican security forces.

315
00:10:19,123 --> 00:10:21,281
Buuuuuut while the Oaxaca Commune

316
00:10:21,281 --> 00:10:22,947
was ultimately crushed by

317
00:10:22,947 --> 00:10:24,695
this grim fucking wave of repression,

318
00:10:24,695 --> 00:10:26,924
the spirit of revolt it inspired

319
00:10:26,924 --> 00:10:29,248
and drew upon has lived on.

320
00:10:29,248 --> 00:10:31,402
Today, Oaxaca remains a site

321
00:10:31,402 --> 00:10:33,107
of militant resistance to the

322
00:10:33,107 --> 00:10:35,549
neoliberal fuckery of the Mexican state.

323
00:10:35,549 --> 00:10:37,904
And the teachers from section 22,

324
00:10:37,904 --> 00:10:40,222
who helped kick things off a decade ago,

325
00:10:40,222 --> 00:10:41,606
are still at the forefront

326
00:10:41,606 --> 00:10:42,785
of this resistance.

327
00:10:42,785 --> 00:10:44,278
For the past several years,

328
00:10:44,278 --> 00:10:45,422
they have been fighting against

329
00:10:45,422 --> 00:10:46,562
attempts by the country's

330
00:10:46,562 --> 00:10:47,824
gringo-hugging jefe,

331
00:10:47,824 --> 00:10:49,289
Enrique Peña Nieto,

332
00:10:49,289 --> 00:10:51,115
to enforce capitalist reforms

333
00:10:51,115 --> 00:10:52,821
on the state education system.

334
00:10:52,821 --> 00:10:54,853
So... to learn a bit more about

335
00:10:54,853 --> 00:10:55,910
what's been going down,

336
00:10:55,910 --> 00:10:57,784
I recently caught up with Cesar Chavez,

337
00:10:57,784 --> 00:10:59,164
a teacher from Oaxaca,

338
00:10:59,164 --> 00:11:02,854
and member of Section 22 of the CNTE.

339
00:11:02,854 --> 00:11:05,463
Hey Cesar… how the fuck are you?

340
00:11:05,463 --> 00:11:09,146
Well... we are working hard. We're tired

341
00:11:09,146 --> 00:11:10,422
Shortly after being elected,

342
00:11:10,422 --> 00:11:11,686
Mexico's current President

343
00:11:11,686 --> 00:11:13,157
Enrique Peña Nieto passed a series

344
00:11:13,157 --> 00:11:15,720
of neoliberal reforms called

345
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,266
the Pact for Mexico.

346
00:11:17,266 --> 00:11:19,503
One of these reforms was an overhaul

347
00:11:19,503 --> 00:11:21,373
of the Mexican education system.

348
00:11:21,373 --> 00:11:22,841
Can you explain the motivations

349
00:11:22,841 --> 00:11:24,060
behind these reforms,

350
00:11:24,060 --> 00:11:25,565
and why they've sparked resistance

351
00:11:25,565 --> 00:11:26,859
from teachers in Oaxaca?

352
00:11:27,859 --> 00:11:29,257
In 2012,

353
00:11:29,257 --> 00:11:31,253
in the Presidential elections in Mexico

354
00:11:31,253 --> 00:11:33,291
the PRI came back into power,

355
00:11:33,291 --> 00:11:34,756
the party that has been abusing

356
00:11:34,756 --> 00:11:35,694
the Mexican people

357
00:11:35,694 --> 00:11:37,555
for most of the last 100 years.

358
00:11:37,555 --> 00:11:39,520
The Pact for Mexico is basically

359
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:40,984
a plot to reform various

360
00:11:40,984 --> 00:11:42,654
government-run institutions,

361
00:11:42,654 --> 00:11:44,355
which requires changes to

362
00:11:44,355 --> 00:11:45,704
the Mexican Constitution

363
00:11:45,704 --> 00:11:47,614
being pushed for by the United States.

364
00:11:47,614 --> 00:11:49,732
They want to privatize all of

365
00:11:49,732 --> 00:11:51,271
the productive sectors of the country

366
00:11:51,271 --> 00:11:53,841
– energy, labour, finance, even water –

367
00:11:53,841 --> 00:11:56,483
and one of the specific reforms

368
00:11:56,483 --> 00:11:58,070
deals with the third article of

369
00:11:58,070 --> 00:11:59,412
the Mexican constitution,

370
00:11:59,412 --> 00:12:01,030
which the government needs to change

371
00:12:01,030 --> 00:12:02,056
in order to allow for

372
00:12:02,056 --> 00:12:03,803
the privatization of education.

373
00:12:03,803 --> 00:12:06,162
So the state is seeking to avoid

374
00:12:06,162 --> 00:12:08,116
its obligation to guarantee free

375
00:12:08,116 --> 00:12:10,066
public and non-religious education,

376
00:12:10,066 --> 00:12:12,952
which in its basic form covers children

377
00:12:12,952 --> 00:12:15,423
from the age of 3 to 15 years old.

378
00:12:15,423 --> 00:12:16,975
And one of the principal obstacles

379
00:12:16,975 --> 00:12:19,081
is the rights of teachers to

380
00:12:19,081 --> 00:12:20,469
permanent labour contracts.

381
00:12:20,469 --> 00:12:22,503
So they've invented an evaluation

382
00:12:22,503 --> 00:12:24,290
that will allow them to lay off teachers

383
00:12:24,290 --> 00:12:25,990
without any legal recourse,

384
00:12:25,990 --> 00:12:27,993
and they are proposing this as

385
00:12:27,993 --> 00:12:29,461
a federal education model.

386
00:12:29,461 --> 00:12:31,618
But here in Oaxaca, we teachers

387
00:12:31,618 --> 00:12:33,651
are continuing to struggle and to fight,

388
00:12:33,651 --> 00:12:35,523
as always, because we are against

389
00:12:35,523 --> 00:12:38,123
the privatization of educational services.

390
00:12:38,123 --> 00:12:39,629
Their proposed reforms would mean

391
00:12:39,629 --> 00:12:40,721
three years from now,

392
00:12:40,721 --> 00:12:42,767
that many poor children from the barrios

393
00:12:42,767 --> 00:12:44,270
won't be able to go to school.

394
00:12:44,270 --> 00:12:46,915
Without offering basic education services,

395
00:12:46,915 --> 00:12:49,320
they are dooming our children to misery.

396
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,189
And it's clear that this is a model

397
00:12:51,189 --> 00:12:53,584
being imposed by the World Bank and IMF.

398
00:12:53,584 --> 00:12:55,451
They are imposing this type of model

399
00:12:55,451 --> 00:12:57,159
in Latin America, and they have

400
00:12:57,159 --> 00:12:58,662
already experimented with this model

401
00:12:58,662 --> 00:13:00,282
in other South American countries,

402
00:13:00,282 --> 00:13:01,462
and now they want to

403
00:13:01,462 --> 00:13:02,731
implement it in Mexico.

404
00:13:02,731 --> 00:13:05,131
But here in Oaxaca we are going to resist.

405
00:13:05,131 --> 00:13:06,592
Because children deserve free

406
00:13:06,592 --> 00:13:08,627
public and non-religious education.

407
00:13:10,807 --> 00:13:11,833
What types of tactics have teachers

408
00:13:11,833 --> 00:13:13,220
been using to resist

409
00:13:13,220 --> 00:13:14,800
the government's proposed changes?

410
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,689
At this time the resistance is civil,

411
00:13:17,689 --> 00:13:19,064
peaceful and organized.

412
00:13:19,064 --> 00:13:21,186
In Oaxaca we have been constructing

413
00:13:21,186 --> 00:13:23,462
an anti-hegemonic educational project.

414
00:13:23,462 --> 00:13:25,373
We understand this as a project

415
00:13:25,373 --> 00:13:26,787
against the imposition of

416
00:13:26,787 --> 00:13:28,467
an educational curriculum model

417
00:13:28,467 --> 00:13:30,094
that will favour the private sector

418
00:13:30,094 --> 00:13:32,166
- that will favour capitalism.

419
00:13:32,166 --> 00:13:33,383
We have a model based in

420
00:13:33,383 --> 00:13:35,045
our own cultural diversity.

421
00:13:35,045 --> 00:13:36,522
We make up part of the original

422
00:13:36,522 --> 00:13:37,939
inhabitants of this land.

423
00:13:37,939 --> 00:13:39,736
And what we are proposing is

424
00:13:39,736 --> 00:13:41,153
the empowerment of the culture

425
00:13:41,153 --> 00:13:42,421
of our people.... our language....


426
00:13:42,421 --> 00:13:43,642
our way of living...

427
00:13:43,642 --> 00:13:44,575
our way of organizing.

428
00:13:44,575 --> 00:13:46,285
We are trying to create a model

429
00:13:46,285 --> 00:13:48,566
in the almost 13,000 schools

430
00:13:48,566 --> 00:13:49,869
in the state of Oaxaca.

431
00:13:49,869 --> 00:13:51,943
And we have a general project,

432
00:13:51,943 --> 00:13:53,031
but each community

433
00:13:53,031 --> 00:13:54,421
- each school according to

434
00:13:54,421 --> 00:13:55,765
their geographical area,

435
00:13:55,765 --> 00:13:58,163
their culture - will adopt and will create

436
00:13:58,163 --> 00:14:00,070
these resistance models in their schools.

437
00:14:00,070 --> 00:14:01,125
We're including ways

438
00:14:01,125 --> 00:14:02,182
of working with textbooks,

439
00:14:02,182 --> 00:14:03,808
but also with oral history.

440
00:14:03,808 --> 00:14:05,829
And it doesn't only include teachers.

441
00:14:05,829 --> 00:14:07,134
It involves the community.

442
00:14:07,134 --> 00:14:08,963
It includes workers, peasants,

443
00:14:08,963 --> 00:14:11,079
the ladies preparing tortillas...

444
00:14:11,079 --> 00:14:12,951
because we believe their knowledge

445
00:14:12,951 --> 00:14:14,652
is important too and we want to

446
00:14:14,652 --> 00:14:16,437
value these types of knowledge.

447
00:14:16,437 --> 00:14:17,493
Teachers in Mexico,

448
00:14:17,493 --> 00:14:18,955
particularly in its southern states,

449
00:14:18,955 --> 00:14:20,733
have been at the forefront of many

450
00:14:20,733 --> 00:14:22,294
recent popular struggles,

451
00:14:22,294 --> 00:14:24,072
and have also been a primary target

452
00:14:24,072 --> 00:14:25,750
of state and paramilitary repression.

453
00:14:25,750 --> 00:14:27,411
A dramatic recent example

454
00:14:27,411 --> 00:14:29,407
is the 43 missing Normalista students

455
00:14:29,407 --> 00:14:31,082
in the state of Guerrero.

456
00:14:31,082 --> 00:14:32,872
Why do the struggles of teachers

457
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:34,254
resonate so strongly with

458
00:14:34,254 --> 00:14:36,415
other sectors of Mexican society?

459
00:14:36,415 --> 00:14:37,998
And why does the state see you

460
00:14:37,998 --> 00:14:39,175
as such a threat?


461
00:14:39,175 --> 00:14:41,250
The struggle of the teachers has been

462
00:14:41,250 --> 00:14:43,527
going on in this country since the 1960s.

463
00:14:43,527 --> 00:14:45,185
And it's been very linked to

464
00:14:45,185 --> 00:14:46,900
the resistance of the original peoples

465
00:14:46,900 --> 00:14:48,241
- to the Indigenous peoples.

466
00:14:48,241 --> 00:14:49,866
And that's the reason the state

467
00:14:49,866 --> 00:14:51,370
sees us as such a threat.

468
00:14:51,370 --> 00:14:53,078
We've been speaking about other ways

469
00:14:53,078 --> 00:14:54,538
of doing politics, outside of

470
00:14:54,538 --> 00:14:56,738
parliamentary or electoral politics,

471
00:14:56,738 --> 00:14:58,326
and questioning the true roles

472
00:14:58,326 --> 00:15:00,277
and functions of political parties.

473
00:15:00,277 --> 00:15:02,186
And so the state is trying to destroy

474
00:15:02,186 --> 00:15:02,959
the resistance of

475
00:15:02,959 --> 00:15:04,789
the education teachers of Oaxaca.

476
00:15:04,789 --> 00:15:06,497
The disappearances in our country

477
00:15:06,497 --> 00:15:08,896
has had a lot of international coverage

478
00:15:08,896 --> 00:15:10,241
because these young people,

479
00:15:10,241 --> 00:15:12,024
these Normalistas, were training

480
00:15:12,024 --> 00:15:13,412
to put themselves at the service

481
00:15:13,412 --> 00:15:15,201
of the education of our people.

482
00:15:15,201 --> 00:15:16,860
They were brutally disappeared,

483
00:15:16,860 --> 00:15:18,901
and it's a totally atrocious act,

484
00:15:18,901 --> 00:15:20,364
but we have to insist that

485
00:15:20,364 --> 00:15:21,903
they are not just 43.

486
00:15:21,903 --> 00:15:24,836
After the 43 there have been more killings

487
00:15:24,836 --> 00:15:26,095
in the state of Oaxaca.

488
00:15:26,095 --> 00:15:27,886
We can count 260 teachers

489
00:15:27,886 --> 00:15:29,146
that have been killed,

490
00:15:29,146 --> 00:15:30,612
and others that have disappeared.

491
00:15:30,612 --> 00:15:32,754
And we can also say that there's over

492
00:15:32,754 --> 00:15:35,159
30 people have had to leave into exile.

493
00:15:35,159 --> 00:15:36,987
This is only in the state of Oaxaca.

494
00:15:36,987 --> 00:15:39,672
In 2006, teachers rose up

495
00:15:39,672 --> 00:15:41,988
against former Governor Ulises Ruiz Ortiz.

496
00:15:41,988 --> 00:15:43,208
That same year, 


497
00:15:43,208 --> 00:15:44,711
President Felipe Calderón

498
00:15:44,711 --> 00:15:46,571
launched Mexico’s War on Drugs.

499
00:15:46,571 --> 00:15:48,205
These intervening years

500
00:15:48,205 --> 00:15:49,709
have witnessed a sharp escalation

501
00:15:49,709 --> 00:15:51,651
of neoliberal capitalist restructuring

502
00:15:51,651 --> 00:15:53,892
and further militarization of

503
00:15:53,892 --> 00:15:55,925
the Mexican state security forces.

504
00:15:55,925 --> 00:15:57,836
How have these changes affected

505
00:15:57,836 --> 00:16:00,031
the situation on the ground in Oaxaca?

506
00:16:00,031 --> 00:16:01,849
The movement of 2006 was

507
00:16:01,849 --> 00:16:03,197
a massive social movement

508
00:16:03,197 --> 00:16:05,147
that involved many aspects of society.

509
00:16:05,147 --> 00:16:06,447
The federal government immediately

510
00:16:06,447 --> 00:16:08,440
militarized these peaceful protests,

511
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:09,902
like they are militarizing now

512
00:16:09,902 --> 00:16:11,042
the state of Oaxaca,

513
00:16:11,042 --> 00:16:12,833
where there's currently 25,000

514
00:16:12,833 --> 00:16:14,176
police deployed.

515
00:16:14,176 --> 00:16:16,451
By comparison, back in 2006,

516
00:16:16,451 --> 00:16:18,651
they deployed approximately 14,000.

517
00:16:18,651 --> 00:16:19,790
At that time, we faced

518
00:16:19,790 --> 00:16:21,579
incredibly high levels of repression.

519
00:16:21,579 --> 00:16:23,933
There was more than 26 people killed

520
00:16:23,933 --> 00:16:25,926
- 26 that we can confirm,

521
00:16:25,926 --> 00:16:27,310
but there's testimony that

522
00:16:27,310 --> 00:16:28,803
hundreds of people were disappeared.

523
00:16:28,803 --> 00:16:29,866
So, the government,

524
00:16:29,866 --> 00:16:30,883
along with the Narcos,

525
00:16:30,883 --> 00:16:32,467
declared a war against the people.

526
00:16:32,467 --> 00:16:33,810
It takes men with sick minds

527
00:16:33,810 --> 00:16:35,882
to declare a war on an entire people.

528
00:16:35,882 --> 00:16:37,104
Those are decisions that

529
00:16:37,104 --> 00:16:38,764
obviously reflect the logic of

530
00:16:38,764 --> 00:16:39,942
a broader system

531
00:16:39,942 --> 00:16:41,574
- an international capitalist system.

532
00:16:41,574 --> 00:16:42,909
So, in this war there's been

533
00:16:42,909 --> 00:16:44,830
more than 200,000 disappearances.

534
00:16:44,830 --> 00:16:46,580
And its principally innocent people,

535
00:16:46,580 --> 00:16:48,330
the sons and daughters of peasants,

536
00:16:48,330 --> 00:16:49,794
- who are very much the lifeblood

537
00:16:49,794 --> 00:16:51,008
of their communities - that are

538
00:16:51,008 --> 00:16:52,841
being picked up by these organizations

539
00:16:52,841 --> 00:16:54,164
- by these criminal gangs

540
00:16:54,164 --> 00:16:55,407
of drug traffickers.

541
00:16:55,407 --> 00:16:56,798
And so for all this time

542
00:16:56,798 --> 00:16:58,332
we've basically been living

543
00:16:58,332 --> 00:17:00,103
in an extended state of siege.

544
00:17:00,103 --> 00:17:01,552
In 2010, the ruling PRI party

545
00:17:01,552 --> 00:17:03,591
lost the state elections in Oaxaca...

546
00:17:03,591 --> 00:17:05,703
the first time in 80 years.

547
00:17:05,703 --> 00:17:07,712
Governor Ulises Ruiz was succeeded

548
00:17:07,712 --> 00:17:10,271
by Gabino Cué Monteagudo,

549
00:17:10,271 --> 00:17:12,666
a member of the supposedly left-wing

550
00:17:12,666 --> 00:17:13,620
Citizen's Party.

551
00:17:13,620 --> 00:17:15,072
Buuuuuuuuuut under his rule

552
00:17:15,072 --> 00:17:17,185
the pace of neoliberal reforms

553
00:17:17,185 --> 00:17:18,442
has only increased.

554
00:17:18,442 --> 00:17:20,227
What effect has this had on regular

555
00:17:20,227 --> 00:17:22,382
Mexicans' faith in the electoral system?


556
00:17:22,382 --> 00:17:24,658
Well yes... after more than 80 years

557
00:17:24,658 --> 00:17:25,876
of the PRI in Oaxaca,

558
00:17:25,876 --> 00:17:27,542
we finally have a new government.

559
00:17:27,542 --> 00:17:29,453
But that's not just an internal matter.

560
00:17:29,453 --> 00:17:31,205
We believe that this situation was

561
00:17:31,205 --> 00:17:33,362
manipulated by the gringos in Washington

562
00:17:33,362 --> 00:17:35,638
- and not just for this part of Mexico,

563
00:17:35,638 --> 00:17:37,265
but for other parts of Latin America

564
00:17:37,265 --> 00:17:39,166
where they implanted, or granted

565
00:17:39,166 --> 00:17:40,843
a so-called left-wing government

566
00:17:40,843 --> 00:17:42,104
only to control and manage

567
00:17:42,104 --> 00:17:43,404
the general discontent

568
00:17:43,404 --> 00:17:45,190
of Latin American populations.

569
00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:47,065
And in Mexico it was presented as if

570
00:17:47,065 --> 00:17:48,687
this alternative would change our lives

571
00:17:48,687 --> 00:17:50,271
for the better, and alleviate

572
00:17:50,271 --> 00:17:51,735
the grievances of the workers

573
00:17:51,735 --> 00:17:53,272
and the population in general.

574
00:17:53,272 --> 00:17:55,272
Of course that is not how it played out,

575
00:17:55,272 --> 00:17:56,556
and in the case of Oaxaca,

576
00:17:56,556 --> 00:17:57,874
everyone understood that this

577
00:17:57,874 --> 00:17:59,411
so-called leftist government

578
00:17:59,411 --> 00:18:01,052
that we've had for the past six years

579
00:18:01,052 --> 00:18:02,263
wasn't brought into power

580
00:18:02,263 --> 00:18:03,400
to support the workers,

581
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:04,954
but was rather just an extension

582
00:18:04,954 --> 00:18:06,740
of the traditional ruling parties.

583
00:18:06,740 --> 00:18:08,243
Politically, nothing has changed

584
00:18:08,243 --> 00:18:09,704
and regular people understand this

585
00:18:09,704 --> 00:18:10,519
very well.

586
00:18:10,519 --> 00:18:12,021
So in Oaxaca, there's no less than

587
00:18:12,021 --> 00:18:14,459
36 major capitalist projects underway

588
00:18:14,459 --> 00:18:15,961
funded by the World Bank,

589
00:18:15,961 --> 00:18:17,585
and international capital.

590
00:18:17,585 --> 00:18:19,053
Canadian capital is invested

591
00:18:19,053 --> 00:18:20,468
in mining in Oaxaca,

592
00:18:20,468 --> 00:18:21,536
and they are being supported

593
00:18:21,536 --> 00:18:23,243
in their operations by this new

594
00:18:23,243 --> 00:18:24,751
so-called leftist government.

595
00:18:24,751 --> 00:18:26,947
These projects are displacing communities

596
00:18:26,947 --> 00:18:29,304
and contaminating our natural resources.

597
00:18:29,304 --> 00:18:30,841
Our water is being contaminated.

598
00:18:30,841 --> 00:18:32,394
So this is the kind of situation

599
00:18:32,394 --> 00:18:33,939
we're living in in our state...

600
00:18:33,939 --> 00:18:35,894
and we are trying to resist and organize.

601
00:18:35,894 --> 00:18:37,760
And we really want people to know this.

602
00:18:38,860 --> 00:18:40,235
What is the level of coordination

603
00:18:40,235 --> 00:18:42,112
between revolutionaries in Oaxaca

604
00:18:42,112 --> 00:18:43,688
and other popular movements

605
00:18:43,688 --> 00:18:44,961
such as the Zapatistas,

606
00:18:44,961 --> 00:18:47,723
or the auto-defense forces of Michoacán? 


607
00:18:47,723 --> 00:18:48,741
Well...

608
00:18:48,741 --> 00:18:50,897
there's various organizations that resist.

609
00:18:50,897 --> 00:18:53,093
This includes groups like the Zapatistas,

610
00:18:53,093 --> 00:18:56,106
or EZLN, and the insurgents in Guerreo

611
00:18:56,106 --> 00:18:57,365
and other organizations

612
00:18:57,365 --> 00:18:59,509
that don't compromise with the state.

613
00:18:59,509 --> 00:19:00,942
They demand autonomy.

614
00:19:00,942 --> 00:19:02,653
This is what these struggles are about.

615
00:19:02,653 --> 00:19:04,488
This is why the state wants to militarize

616
00:19:04,488 --> 00:19:06,680
and paramilitarize these spaces.

617
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,670
For example in Michoacan,

618
00:19:08,670 --> 00:19:10,783
which is talked about a lot in Oaxaca,

619
00:19:10,783 --> 00:19:12,083
these people have decided to

620
00:19:12,083 --> 00:19:14,038
defend themselves from larger forces

621
00:19:14,038 --> 00:19:15,423
that have been trying to impose

622
00:19:15,423 --> 00:19:16,800
these criminal ideas.

623
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:17,949
And we are trying to coordinate

624
00:19:17,949 --> 00:19:19,699
with these forces that resist.

625
00:19:19,699 --> 00:19:20,878
And we believe it's going to be a long

626
00:19:20,878 --> 00:19:22,144
and difficult process,

627
00:19:22,144 --> 00:19:23,729
because there's repressive conditions

628
00:19:23,729 --> 00:19:25,193
that make it hard to organize.

629
00:19:25,193 --> 00:19:26,979
The state will never give us what we need

630
00:19:26,979 --> 00:19:28,694
or what we want without struggle,

631
00:19:28,694 --> 00:19:30,606
so we need to do our best to fight back.

632
00:19:30,606 --> 00:19:31,942
And so this is what we think

633
00:19:31,942 --> 00:19:32,849
we are going to do,

634
00:19:32,849 --> 00:19:34,632
and this is how are going to triumph.

635
00:19:34,632 --> 00:19:35,724
Thanks Cesar.

636
00:19:35,724 --> 00:19:37,718
And that about does it for this sedition

637
00:19:37,718 --> 00:19:39,303
of It’s the End of the World

638
00:19:39,303 --> 00:19:40,882
as we Know it and I Feel Fine.

639
00:19:40,882 --> 00:19:42,193
I wanted to let y’all know that

640
00:19:42,193 --> 00:19:43,292
during the summer months

641
00:19:43,292 --> 00:19:45,370
we will be closing down the firehose

642
00:19:45,370 --> 00:19:47,433
output of videos to a comfortable

643
00:19:47,433 --> 00:19:48,663
garden hose cadence.

644
00:19:48,663 --> 00:19:50,942
Did that metaphor make any fuckin sense?

645
00:19:50,942 --> 00:19:52,816
Anywho, you fuckers should not be

646
00:19:52,816 --> 00:19:54,237
sitting in front of your computer

647
00:19:54,237 --> 00:19:55,161
when it’s hot.

648
00:19:55,161 --> 00:19:55,982
You should be outside

649
00:19:55,982 --> 00:19:56,999
making fuckin trouble.

650
00:19:56,999 --> 00:19:58,419
Buuuuuuuuut don’t worry

651
00:19:58,419 --> 00:19:59,924
this shit should be out

652
00:19:59,924 --> 00:20:02,242
about every three weeks until August,

653
00:20:02,242 --> 00:20:04,151
when we will be back full force

654
00:20:04,151 --> 00:20:05,044
with more seditions,

655
00:20:05,044 --> 00:20:07,159
new A is for Anarchy shorts

656
00:20:07,159 --> 00:20:08,341
and mini reports from

657
00:20:08,341 --> 00:20:10,175
the global muthafuckin resistance.


658
00:20:10,175 --> 00:20:11,682
That said, a virtual fist bump

659
00:20:11,682 --> 00:20:13,107
goes out to the following slaves

660
00:20:13,107 --> 00:20:14,728
who gave us a hand at making this

661
00:20:14,728 --> 00:20:16,931
Soliloquy of Seditious Savagery.

662
00:20:16,931 --> 00:20:17,955
So big ups to:

Tlayudas!

674
