On Rent, the state of things as we see them arround the world, at the end of this year (on our stupid calendar)
Yes. Rent is the unifying factor. Rent is the social condition which causes the most harm. Which unfrees most of the urban (world?) population. Rent is the shackle of servitude.
The historical work of the middle class is to transfer wealth from down upward. The middle class (and here I refer to the wealthy and thrinving middle class, who has job at a company and social status) is employed by the ruling class directly as managers and makers and stealers and officers and rulers and directors of those same companies who exploit the workers and unemployed alike. Everyone (except the occupyiers and anarchists and very few people who may have the chace to be part of a communist party or social support from the state) has to pay their dues in the form of rent in the beggining of a month or week.
We pay these extraordinary "taxations" or rents to evermore companies and people. We pay it to internet providers, to phone companies, to media companies, to water services, to electricity providers, to landlords and to the tech billionaires. This is on cities, because on the farmlands and villages, the paysans or campesinas, they have to pay it too (according to #REDD and #agone coming of course from the Worlds Largest Landlord, mister Bill Gates, and other techno billionares) in the form of fertilizer, seeds, and other patented products which allow you to, again, pay some more to the intermediaries like #mercadona #pingodoce who pay you 2$ per tonne, what they will in turn sell for 2$ per 100grams. This amounts to the wealth transfer upwards to flow through impoverishing the working and peasant and unemployed classes.
Its a massive wealth transfer like no one's ever seen. We're still to figure out if the Unionizing, like #amazonunions drives across the world, im chains like #amazon, as movements like #makeamazonpay develop, or the struggle of the two hundreed fifty million #IndianFarmers against the measures which imposed Imports from Dumping products, or even the massive movements from China's #foxconnriot or south asian #Unions will in fact be able to tear down these companies from their "outsorced" heart, which is where the middle class is not, the factories, for phones, garments, cars, food etc.
As to the role of the #Peasants and #indigenous, they have been making history, and we must bow to their fighing spirits, and learn all we can to fight together.
The #Zapatistas have been showing us the way foward, with such beauty in each new development. From coming up with the practice of #Artivism to renaming the so called continent of Europe to Slumil K'ajxemk'op, or Tierra Insumissa, the Zapatistas have been showing us that "a world where many worlds exist" is the way to evolve for all of us on earth.
The Brazilian #Yanomami are at this moment suffering greatly from unspeakable crimes, allowed and supported by genocidal ex-president B****aro, in an illegal gold-rush, and criminal drive to kill the indigenous people, exploit land, water, soil, trees, animals and humans for the profit of the few companies based in rich countries ruled by the same small elite of crazy lunatics. Our hearts are with all the peasant struggles, revolts and revolutions.
The social movements for land and earth and water must be leading us all into a new era of autonomy and care for planet.
#LaViaCampesina for example, with almost 200 international social movements, of which more than two hundreed million peasants worldwide are part, is maybe one of the largest and more interesting internationalist movements of the past few decades. We need of course, #WesternSahra to start appearing on our maps, or start asking teachers why it's not. That may tell us why #Mellilla massacres are not news in so called Portugal where we live. And of course, decades of fascistic denialism together with mass poverty and exploitation have created such alienated minds that speaking truth to power is not really easy for most people.

Apple-Riots statt Döner-Riots?
Aufgrund der Aufstände im #Foxconn-Werk Zhengzhou, wird es wohl bei der Auslieferungen des neuen iPhone 14 im Weihnachtsgeschäft zu Verzögerungen kommen.
