Subject: [unSYSTEM] Francisco Papas direct action: burned US$500 million in debt contracts
Hello all,

I want to share an interesting countereconomics direct action,
in Chile:

"The Chilean artist Francisco Papas, Tapia confesses and self-denounce
as the perpetrator of the burning of debt instalment contracts,
proyected in US$500 million dollars, to release from debt to all
students of Del Mar University in Chile.

The fact, as recounted by Francis himself, was made without the
knowledge of students when presented in the occupation of Del Mar
University in the V region, noting that he wanted to make a work of art
that contemplate the case, was in that moment when this artist hatched a
plan to steal bank drafts and then proceed to burn to thereby release
the debt that afflicts thousands of students from that house of studies"
