There is a good reason to walk on the streets and bang pots every day given the permanent condition of austerity reproduced by people like Chile\u2019s former president Sebast\u00edan Pi\u00f1era, one more of the \u201cfucking rats\u201d that make life hell.There is the austerity, the demise of social welfare and decent work, and the rise of poverty and social despair. Then there are the sharpened contradictions, the anger that sometimes gives rise to hope in madmen (Argentina\u2019s incoming president Javier Milei is one of them) and at other moments, it gives rise to disorganized and organized forms of dissent.A sheep flies over the tens of thousands of people in the stadium.
