| If before
capitalism reached the doors of the factory now it has
left the factory and accompanies the worker to his car,
goes with him through the supermarket, actually makes
his grocery list, goes by the school to pick up the
kids and then goes home. Capitalism gets home and turns
on the TV, suggests frozen trash for dinner. In the
movie after dinner, capitalism is the good guy and the
bad guy (they’re the same)... oh, and capitalism
is on the TV even during the commercials, it doesn't
matter if you change the channel because they are all
part of the same chain (why is it that they are called
chains?)
So this is why it's called globalization,
obviously, because it's in all parts, in all corners
of the world and aspects of your life. This is the manner
that it makes you do what you do, generate more benefits
for him, makes him bigger and that is how he can get
to the more far away corners-- that is if they still
exist.
In the USA they are groups called "cool-hunters"
that dedicate themselves to precisely that... to find
what is cool, original…etc, things that don't
create monetary benefits from anyone, and trap it. Then
the cool-hunters sell it
to capitalism that then makes money with it.

They send
it around the world to be multiplied and generalized...
this is what happened with hip-hop and political art
to just name a few. Feeling and seeing this many people
left up their hands and give up saying that there is
nothing they can do... everything has been taken, sold
and bought.
But, is there something to do? Can we
only, and don't think we're saying that it's not important,
protest and get beat up every time the bad guys get
together? Because that is the only thing that people
know us, the anti-globalization movement as.
Maybe we're being short-sighted if we
only think that capitalism has gotten loose, that it's
everywhere and that it expects and needs to always get
a profit... but we shouldn't leave it at that, we need
to see that capitalism is also as fragile as ever.
In the past when capitalism was only
at the doors of the factory in order to stop the machine
one could strike. Strikes and revolutions, but that
was tough because we had to get a lot of people together
and get them to agree and you know how hard that is.
Now if capitalism is everywhere then it’s easier
to fuck with, sabotage and rip holes in his pants.

| We have
seen that there can be resistance in any corner of the
world, in campaigns against McDonalds,
Nike,
Shell,
Ibertrola or whichever bad
guy but we shouldn't become collectors of stickers against
this or that or spend our lives going from one protest
to another.
The
moment has come for "Sabotaging
Capitalism Creating Perverted Parties"
(SCCPP from know on).
We have to analyze how capitalism works in every act
of our everyday life and discover a fun and cool way
to make the punch. One SCCPP:
the big commercial centers are great. I have a friend
who takes pieces of meat out of the plastic and puts
them in the clothing section between the clothes (uugh).
Other people with more practical sense or with more
appetite (my friend is German and vegetarian) take the
food without paying and eat it with friends. Sabotage
needs to be fun, it’s important to understand
that because capitalism tries to make our lives dull
and boring. A SCCPP needs to do something that she wants
to do.
Of course we have to organize ourselves.
We can't say what we said as kids: if the 500 million
Chinese in the world agreed to fart at the same time!
Uffff! That which we could call
