We are facing structural forms of violence whose roots go deep into a model of society structured round accumulation through plunder, which is the form neoliberalism takes in this period. The militarisation of everyday life, organised crime and femicides have to be understood in this context and can be summed up as a war against the peoples and the poor to clear territories or to convert common property into goods for sale.
