1) Argentina if it is not "in the lap" of the imperialists, is certainly within the network of international capital, certainly enmeshed in the demands, the cycles, contractions of the world market.
Recent example: The Kirchner govt. has just reached a settlement of the remaining defaulted debt of about 20 billions dollars with the holdout bondowners. The deal involves the Kirchner govt exchanging the bonds along the terms of the 2005 deal, for about 33 cents on the dollar. Obviously, this deal is being undertaken so that Argentina can again access the international credit markets controlled, of course, by the anti-national, imperial US/EU banks. 2) If the Kirchner government falls, and it WILL fall, it will again be because of historical necessity, in that it could not contain the workers struggle, that it, that government was not Bonapartist enough-- that while it could debilitate, isolate, weaken the class struggle, it could not itself pre-empt the possibility of revolution with a counterrevolution. 3) As the government of Isabel Peron did, such "national democratic" governments are quite capable however of unleashing the police/military in enough force to create the terms for their own overthrow. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nestor Gorojovsky" <[email protected]> To: "David Schanoes" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 11:45 AM Subject: Re: [Marxism] Hmmm…yeah…about that national - real life politics - front Yes, though this is not ME in all my glory. It is the antinational front, all right and left together, against the current Argentinean (yes, "bourgeois") government. This is what is acting in all its glory. If these actions prosper, S. Artesian, you will see how Argentina will fall down in the lap of the imperialists. I guess they won´t prosper. But this is what they aim at.
