Scope and content
The popular canteen ‘Los Pibes' is much more than a ‘soup kitchen'. Situated in La Boca, Buenos Aires, it is an example of a new form of grassroots organisation, led by women who have refused to kneel down when attacked by the system. Not only have they created new forms of resistance, but they have also developed an alternative democratic model to challenge the anti-values of neo-liberalism. The impact of the military dictatorship, followed by the dismantling of the state and the selling off of public companies, has provoked a devastating social, political and economic crisis in Argentina. The power bloc, not satisfied with the 30,000 disappearances of the dictatorship, has put into practice a brutal form of neo-liberalism – another planned genocide according to Los Pibes. Since 1996 Los Pibes have been fighting back, looking for solutions to the problems of hunger, housing and unemployment. But the ‘canteen' is also fighting to disappear, by working towards a society in which organisations like this are no longer necessary.
