As I mentioned in my previous entry about Graffiti, most of the stuff around town is political in nature - ranging from Anarchist stuff (they use a lot of stenciling, which isn´t that popular here), to a lot of Anti-Bush stuff (and some general Anti-American stuff), to Graffiti on behalf of the main political party, the Partido Justicialist
(JP), or Peronist Party. The JP is less an ideological party, and more a political machine with a vague sense of being the "people´s" party. Roughly translated, the last picture would be like someone in the US writing "Democrats! Elanor Roosavelt!" Also, Ponele La Firma appears everywhere. That basically means "sign it!" but I have no idea who´s supposed to sign what. I´m guessing a new labor contract or something.

As you can probably see, public statues are a main Graffiti target. Every once in a while, the graffiti actually is relevent to the statue, as in this
graffiti on a statue of Julio Argentino Roca , a former President of Argentina who is also largely responsible for exterminating the native population (hence the Graffiti is the lower right hand corner).

Also represented are extremist groups both Muslim and (unfortunately) Neo-Nazi - you know, it´s not as bad as Europe (probably because there´s some Jews here), and I don´t think there´s really any significant neo-nazism here, but let´s put it this way: I saw a little swastika drawn with a marker in the subway - of all the hundreds of people that passed it I was the only one who could be bothered to take 10 seconds to wipe it clean. Back home, I don´t think any self-respecting person of any political alignment would just let neo-nazi graffiti slide like they do here and in Europe.

As for me, I´m doing OK - went to Uraguay which is basically just good for another 4 stamps on the passport. I´m probably going to go to Iguazu Falls this weekend, then back for another week in the BA (where I hope to write at least 3 or 4 more entries on stuff), then who knows?
