Breathless: this 2013 is so crazy that I do not even know what to say. Diseases, fires, demonstrations, ridiculous politicians, often schizophrenic work sucking my energy. I wound up bruising my arm just now, but at least I did not break it. This coming week I will try to recover a little and go back to the plumb. I’m sick of this moment.


Of these recent manifestations, which helped to cancel one work and hindered another, I am quite apprehensive. I’ve been an anarchist since I was born. Anarchist, half punk, half hippie, half spiritual. A bit of everything, but nothing too radical. Li Bakunin, and a few others, but I do not delude myself by thinking that the man who marches and then goes home to watch soap operas, Sunday shows, eat meat, is ready for pure, utopian anarchism without rulers.


Most are still part of a herd of sent people, led by the media, with very few outsiders inside. Anarchism is still the best political idea, with a self-organized society, for government is corruption, and power will always corrupt the soul. It will always attract dangerous madmen with power and their aspones. I am in favor of any kind of peaceful demonstration, whether for or against what I want. Preferably in the squares and wide, so as not to disturb the traffic of those who are working. In the 80’s, when we lived the heyday of anarchist punk, the demonstration was inside the concerts, screaming and screaming the whole dawn, consuming everything, drinking all but without molotov, nor depredations.


I feel sorry for this unfavorable reaction to Dilma, who, together with Lula and Tarsus, form a trio of politicians who really work and seek to improve the standard of living of Brazilians. But I have no doubt that there were errors in the conduct of stadium construction. This is a very important fact, in the midst of very good actions. It is important for Brazil to have the Cup here, especially now that the country has created a good image abroad, which is already being shaken by recent events.


Who will want to come and tour in a country that can barely handle their demonstrations, where crime is all over the place in big and small cities, where everything is very expensive? Problems such as hunger, poor health, poor education and a sinking environment have to be eradicated, to be able to say that this country is decent. Nor does anyone deserve to be seen Calheiros, Collor, Sarney in politics. It has the issue of abusive salaries in the judiciary. It has to have a roof for public money, both for salaries and for benefits.


There is too much discrepancy between the salary of a high-ranking civil servant and that of an official of functions considered simpler but more fundamental, such as garbage collectors, nurses, garis. Teachers are also key. There must be a roof too for the military and its benefits, which include entire families. In short, the population is showing that you are unsatisfied and you are right. What he has to take care of is how far this wave of demonstrations will go, for it would be a pity the neoliberal right, quite blind and avid, to return to the country’s command. Seeing the milicos in Egypt interfering with the situation, still with the support of the population, I am terrified. I still have the trauma of dictatorship, although I know the times are different. It is legal to read the Mass Psychology of old Freud because the essence of the behavior of the herd is all there.
