National Assembly Argentina (heading for the alternative power)

It is incredibly exciting what happens in Argentina on those times. Everything appears in the road of the revolution!

Argentina today bill with 30 or 40 factories busyed for their workers, some producing to pay the wages. In Neuquem, in the Cerāmica Zanon, the workers discovered that only 3 days of work pay all of the month wages.

On this Sunday it was accomplished the National Assembly that gathered delegations of popular assemblies of the whole Argentina, combative unions and the blockouters/unemployers.

It was voted in that assembly a resolution that every FACTORY THAT DISMISSES OR CLOSE THEIR DOORS should BE NATIONALIZED UNDER LABOR CONTROL.

Besides that decision to mean that the workers begin to take conscience of the possibility and of the justness of expropriating the bosses, the assemblies can begin to build a parallel power to the bourgeois power, and that can come to be organisms of direct democracy and alternative power that the workers need to substitute the bourgeois state.

Now, it is to accompany and to see as the things walk. If the Assemblies support the decision that took and if put thenselves as executive of their own decisions, we will be sure of walking for that direct democratic power of the workers.

... Every support to the Argentinean workers and let us follow the example of those that today fight in glory against the capitalism and the bourgeoisie!

It seems that elements of dual power (where a workers state begins to emerge beside a bourgeois state) are beginning to emerge in Argentina.
Most of the factors needed for a revolution are in place in Argentina, except a revolutionary party.

A revolutionary socialist party needs to be built in Argentina now as a matter of urgency.
