Medidas legales contra los desahucios

       El banco  embarga la vivienda familiar y dependiendo del precio que dicho 
banco consiga en la subasta, el embargado sigue debiendo lo que el banco "cree 
oportuno" y de por vida. Cuando las subastas quedan vacías (que es lo que está 
pasando como norma) el banco se queda con la propiedad a menos del 50% de su 
valor. Continuando con el reclamo del 100% al embargado y pudiendo revender 
esa propiedad por el precio que ellos estimen oportuno con un 50% de 
margen... Una gran estafa vaya. 
        Hoy os vamos a explicar un "modelo legal", que un banco no te va a 
contar, pero nosotros si que lo vamos a hacer. 
       Método por el cual, se pierde de igual manera la "propiedad", pero, no te 
pueden echar de tu casa. 
       En cuanto una persona ve que no va a poder pagar su casa, automáticamente le 
hace un contrato de alquiler a su mujer/suegra/hijo/hermano o a quién se 
pueda, por el valor de 1€, 5€ o 10€, con una duración "indefinida"/50 años,
100 años. Cantidad únicamente simbólica. El contrato debe estar a nombre de 
alguien que no figure en la hipoteca. El contrato debe estar pasado por el 
registro de la propiedad. 
       En el momento del embargo, la propiedad figura en el registro a nombre del 
hipotecado, pero figura como una propiedad con inquilinos. 
       Resultado del embargo, la "titularidad de la propiedad" cambia, a nombre 
del banco. El domicilio continúa teniendo inquilinos. Con esta maniobra, 
perderíamos la propiedad, continuaríamos debiendo la hipoteca, pero, tendremos 
que pagar a nuestro nuevo "casero" por nuestro expiso 10€ al mes y de por 
vida.. 
        Ya que ellos, no dan soluciones, nosotros las buscamos. 
        Aquí teneis un gran arma, cuando "legalmente" no pueda seguir 
usándose, buscaremos más.

In defense of Foucault: the incessancy of resistance

Revolution is entirely possible within Foucault’s theory; our task is to take on the challenge posed by his more honest account of power-as-social-relation.

By Simon Thorpe

The Incessancy of Resistance
I would like to suggest another way to go further toward a new economy of power relations, a way which is more empirical, more directly related to our present situation, and which implies more relations between theory and practice. It consists of taking the forms of resistance against different forms of power as a starting point.
(The opening lines of Foucault’s essay The Subject and Power)
In response to Jerome’s recent article, Foucault and the revolutionary self-castration of the Left, I primarily wish to address the claim made by Jerome that “Foucault’s philosophy precludes the possibility for revolutionary action,” a claim that is incorrect, though admittedly hinges on a more careful definition of revolution. There is one particular passage in The History of Sexuality (Volume 1, pages 95-96), that elucidates Foucault’s conception of resistance to power. It is available here or here.
Foucault’s attitude in The History of Sexuality is always activist. He constantly employs the language of association and opposition — ‘we must’, ‘ourselves’, etc., always set in offensive antagonism to the enemy, that which must be ‘thwarted’ — and resistance is regularly posed not just as possibility, but as inevitable and inherent to the system of power relations that he posits as a social relation per se.
Where there is power, there is resistance, and yet, or rather consequently, this resistance is never in a position of exteriority in relation to power.
(The History of Sexuality, Volume 1, p.95)

Foucault and the revolutionary self-castration of the Left

We don't agree with this view on Foucault's work...we think his view is much more open and it gives a key points to think about power and its relationship which knowledge and everyone of us...Lets say it gives the possibility of a deep metamophosis to the resistance which is still devote of the Il.lustration project..it talks about the need to break with this path...to listen the voice of the of hte silenced ones, the european heterodoxy and its gives the absolutely neceesary path for the understanding with other knowledge traditions...

anyway we are so glad to publish it here at desRealitat...because diversity is the best think could happen to us..

Far from posing a counter-hegemonic challenge to the dominant powers in the world, Foucault’s armchair philosophy simply made resistance impossible.

I first encountered the work of Michel Foucault in college. Intrigued but confused, I decided to look for videos of the intellectual giant explaining his theories in a way that might be more intelligible than his obscurantist writings. To my excitement, I encountered a fascinating debate between Foucault and Chomsky aired on Dutch television in 1971. The exchange between the figureheads of the European and American Left, respectively, was a true clash of titans. By the end of it, however, I had lost most of my short-lived obsession with Foucault and had sided instead with the radical linguist Chomsky.
