abolitionmedia(Chile) Words of the Anarchist Comrade Mónica Caballero
I once heard that intimate life should not be mixed with politics, that is, that within the ideal, what we do individually and/or collectively to destroy the hegemony of power would have to be separated from our relationships with the beings we love, such as our parents, lovers, children, etc. As the years go by, these types of statements seem to me more and more distant from my reality and from the way I understand and intend to conduct politics.
I see no other way to construct and understand political work if it is not with the necessary and nourishing mixture of all the edges that converge in the development of each individual.
In this sense, mixing intimate life with “politics”, what could be more intimate than the pain of the loss of someone who came out of your womb? That pain, perhaps indescribable for those of us who have not lived through it, Luisa Toledo suffered in each of the murders of her three children, and carried in her heart until her last heartbeat.
That immense pain was transformed into the love that managed to forge some of the foundations for many to rise up against those who enrich themselves at the expense of the perpetuation of domination.
For this reason, among many other things, Luisa Toledo is the resilient mother of Rafael, Pablo and Eduardo, and she is also the comrade of dozens of demonstrations, she is the firm and passionate voice capable of delivering a clear message against the powerful, she is the one who stood up in solidarity with the prisoners… Luisa Toledo was, and always will be part of the construction of one or more generations of young combatants.
With these words I take this opportunity to send an affectionate greeting to the Vergara Toledo family.
