Letter from Pol: one of Anarchist Prisoners of Spanish State

we are not afraid

By P.J.C
Hello and good health to all my female and male colleagues

I would like to send you out  a letter as an anarchist , I feel that all our points of view are valid . just as long as we all seek to destroy the power, authority and the State. I think therein lies the beauty of our ideas and I understand all these pathways can coexist and merge together in search of a much desired total liberation.

I want to express my hatred, disgust and contempt for everything that encompasses the State, the power, authority and its special tool of annihilation called jail, with its cruellest aspect the isolation cell.

I have always defended the idea that as anarchists we have to be prepared and assume that at any moment may come a day when we have to go to jail which, in my opinion, is logical because when you want to destroy the state, it tries to stop you and  you end up locked up in order to wipe you out or paralyze you. But despite all this, they will not succeed. However if circumstances mean you don’t have to go to jail, the better for everyone!

I’m feeling OK physically and mentally. and still believingb the same as before entry and if possible, reaffirmed in most of my ideas, with my head held high and proud of what we are. I am how I behave and relate in theory and praxis, but always self-critical, so as to keep growing and never stop learning and I by saying all this I do not feel I’m better or worse than anyone else.

Anarchism, Spontaneous Order and ‘Negative Cause’

How will we ever get enough anarchists together to overthrow the authoritarian regulators? this is the commonly assumed ‘positive causal view’ of anarchism. It appears impossible because we’re thinking back to front.

Anarchists organize everywhere: The Catalan anarchist federation

We share and translate news from the A las barricadas

We introduce the public campaign of the Anarchist Federation of Catalonia, launched during these days to complement an earlier effort made under the slogan “Maybe you thought you were an anarchist?”. It is an outreach campaign of libertarian ideas and and the effort to connect with people who are not politicized but who may sympathize with our ideas and methods of struggle. This time it is a matter of presenting a series of struggles that libertarian people are pursuing in different areas…

New anarcho TV to “break the wall of silence”

An enthusiastic team of fifteen people enables RojoyNegroTV, to broadcast the second Tuesday of each month live on Channel 33 in Madrid, an area promoted by the union CGT (anarcho-syndicalist)

web_lauragomezRojoyNegroTV  (Red and Black TV) wants not only to be the voice of the CGT, but also “a space of critical debate.”   

by Jordi Navarro   We’re ready.. Everyone knows what to do, when and how. Despite the hustle and stress of the last minutes before the live broadcast, we dont lose our good humor. They are almost fifteen people-more than half women- who since January this year, make RojoyNegroTV (RNTV) possible, every second Tuesday of the month, live on Channel 33, and also streamed from Madrid on the website, rojoynegrotv. org.

Exploring the Commons, 1. Open Assemblies, now and in History.

–  “The assembly is a central part of the Spanish left tradition. Social movements have always seen themselves through the prism of assemblies.”

open assembly in Catalunya

We don’t mean controlled school assemblies, much less those of religious sects, who use the form just for a semblance of participation without the danger of maybe taking a vote.

We mean real assemblies.. to sit around in a circle with no fixed agenda and no attempt to control, talking things out until decisions can normally be reached by consensus.

The Spanish 15M movement evolved from occupying Squares to hundreds of local assemblies, which in turn set off thousands of community initiatives. The beauty of a real assembly is that no one can take power, and predatory Parties, Unions and egoistic self seeking ‘leaders’ get sidelined, allowing revolutionary energy to flow.
