On January 6, in the town of Las Araucarias/Los Copihues, as Matías Catrileo propaganda group, we carried out a territorial occupation, deploying ourselves in the town that was 54 years old since its creation under the name of Toma Unidad Popular, where we handed out pamphlets, zines and information that emphasize the importance of direct action and territorial self-organization as valid and necessary means to recover our lives, as Matías taught us.
There are many examples throughout history that show us how to do, from autonomy and direct action, that generate other ways of inhabiting this world in the here and now. The land seizures are one of the most effective ways to directly solve a problem as big as access to housing, also enhancing the revolutionary struggle, generating fertile spaces for carrying out revolutionary processes.
Since colonization, the territory was divided into large estates, estates and states, where neither the poor, nor the Indian, nor the mestizo, had a part in this division, often forcing us to sell our labor force for miserable wages to these same masters who through deception and violence became owners of the land.
What the law says does not really matter, slavery was legal, the embezzlements of the police, milicos and politicians are legal and continue in complete impunity, destruction of the land is legal, the destruction of the Maipo river, the Panul forest is legal and the usurpations and appropriations of the rich are legal, demonstrating that the law is only their system of defense and robbery to maintain their interests and those of their class.
We propose self-organization as the only possible way to recover our lives, through direct action as did our grandfathers and grandmothers who knew how to raise an entire population by sheer will and mutual support, as does the puñi/lamgen in Wallmapu who have managed to push back the advance of capital on their lands, as do the peoples of the continent who resist the advance of this system of misery and death.
It is necessary to look back and reuse the tactics that in the past allowed not only to provide housing solutions, but also gave way to generate land and fertile spaces to carry out the conflict against power and carry out revolutionary processes aimed at the destruction of the state-capital.
Accomplices of the wind and living only to be free, simply free, immensely free.
The expansion of the anarchist urban guerrilla is imminent!
Long live territorial recuperation!
Towards territorial and autonomous organization, without leaders or parties!
For the freedom of the Maipo River and the Panul forest!
For the life that was stolen from us!
In Wallmapu and the city war to the State and Capital!
