[pp.int.general] Pirate Party from Argentina - General Assembly 2014

Thu Dec 4 19:30:17 CET 2014

Holy Seykron,

Te aseguro que los piratas alemanes estan con ustedes respecto a la politica de energies. Aunque nosotros tambienestamos en una lucha dura. Por lo menos hay bastante otraos organisciones que pelean contra el fracking.

Entendemos bien que los permitos de explotacion de hidrocarburos en Argentina es una nueva forma de robo. Si es posible pasame una copia de esta ley para que puedo demonstrar esta forma de politica aqui, Quizas algunos entienden lo que pasa.

Inversion en derechos de explotacion para hacer mas plata - y son la gente humilde que tienen que ahorrar las ganancias de algunas empresas.

Esto no tiene nada que ver con economia liberal, Mercado, precios justificados, derechos humnos. Es pura dictadura a traves de poder financier. 

Suerte

>Dear pirates and piratesses,
>
>I would like to share with you the outcome of the General Assembly that has taken
>place on Friday 28.
>
>Summary: we talked about what we made, what we're doing and what we'll do on
>2015. The full minutes are here (spanish language):
>
>http://wiki.partidopirata.com.ar/Actas:2014-11-28
>
># What we'll do on 2015
>
>1. We will focus on building the pirate space and the spreading of pirate culture and
>organization, so more people will get involved in our activities. Pirate space:
>horizontal relationships, free culture, safe space[1], criticism, collective decisions.
>Pirate organization:
>digital assemblies, decision making tools, direct democracy implementation.
>
>2. After a year of working on institutional politics from outside, we decided to NOT
>put any effort on getting the legal status as political party. We have several reasons
>for that (according the country's history and politics):
>
>  a. It is not possible to change or modify political decisions from
>  inside the parliament. Power go from top to bottom, and legislatives
>  do not have decision by themselves. They answer to the political
>  party structure they belong to.
>
>  b. If we compete in elections, we're enemies from ones and friends
>  of others, and we DO HAVE to make this decision. We think it is
>  better to participate in topics we're interested in and call our
>  contacts in the parliament to join efforts, it doesn't matter which
>  political party they belong to.
>
>  c. Once you're in the parliament, you have to agree things you
>  maybe don't agree in order to survive. In a parliament where more than
>  50% are legislatives from the same political party, one or two
>  legislatives will not be able to support assemblies decisions. For
>  instance: chief legislative from the majority comes to tell you "we
>  need you to back this bill". The pirate legislative says "we cannot
>  back this bill, it goes against our values". So the chief legislative
>  says: "you don't understand, if you don't back our bill, you will
>  never be able to present a bill by yourself". Why does he/she can do
>  that? It is simple: the majority also have majority in committees, so
>  committees will never treat your bills if you don't back them.
>
>  d. We have a tactical advantage: in the parliament no one understand
>  the relationship between politics and technology. They think we're
>  inoffensive guys because "we don't do classical politics". They don't
>  see another power raising below their noses.
>
>3. We will improve our digital tools to promote participation. So far, we were using
>tools that are not user friendly (like email lists) because we have political
>requirements: assemblies must be transparent and a full registry of all discussions
>must be saved. The email is the best tool to backup a distributed registry, but it does
>not scale, and we know it since a time. We will finally solve this issue (maybe we'll
>install loomio).
>
>4. We will improve our processes to react to the political agenda in which we're
>interested. If something like net neutrality appears in the parliament, we need to
>react quickly and call our contacts there to analyze how can we get involved.
>
># What we made
>
>1. We presented legal actions to unblock The Pirate Bay in Argentina[2].
>We're still waiting the legal process. Follow up: we'll try to appeal for the unlock since
>according to the blocking sentence it should expire in 90 days. We'll recover the
>ShareLikeAPirate campaign[3], so we will ask for your help for that :)
>
>2. We participated in several events at universities.
>
>3. We made a huge online campaign to stop the fracking bill[4]. We worked together
>with collectives, trade unions and oposition political parties to build a common force
>against this bill. We didn't stop the bill, but the people's answer was very impressive:
>
>  a. People sent over 22.000 messages to legislatives in less than two
>  weeks. At least 15.000 persons participated in the campaign.
>
>  b. A legislative dedicated his speech to answer the campaign[5].
>
>  c. Several artists expressed support to the action and two famous
>  bands accepted to give a concert in front of the parliament. It didn't
>  happen because of the weather...
>
>4. We were invited to expose about the new telecommunications bill in the Senate[6].
>It was a huge collaborative job to make amendments to the bill, since it was awful.
>We sent the recommendations to the senators, but the bill is still awful. Anyway,
>some important points were introduced as net neutrality, privacy protection, and a
>special mention to Redes Libres[7]. The bill will be approved this week so it is not
>possible to introduce new changes, but we'll still working together with advisors to
>present an alternative dictum.
>
>5. Meeting with the Confederación Pirata from Spain. It was a great time, we talked
>about our experience and we agree to unify efforts in order to build a fluid
>communication channel. You know it isn't easy, but we trust it is very important to
>be informed about what's happening in each country.
>
>Please, let us know your thoughts about what we're doing. It is essential to integrate
>different points of view in order to build a strong knowledge.
>
>Many thanks to read till here :D
