During an informal talk, colleagues from the union discussed the real danger of the rise of the extreme right in Europe and the world..

One of them said that the philosopher Bertrand Russell stated that “the fascists first they fascinate the fools. “Then they muzzle the smart ones.”.

A colleague added that the representative democracy [bourgeois] also seduces fools. But what, very insightful, buy from the smart ones.

To which another colleague stated that in the direct democracy, that we exercise, We aspire to turn supposed fools into conscious intelligent people who are masters of their own designs., despite the fact that demagogues and intelligent “bought” people constantly sneak in with the aim of preventing it.. Bad apples trying to spoil the rest of us. But they won't be able to.

 

Lots of Health, Grassroots Federalism and Direct Democracy!

With all the difficulties of the case, starting with the pressure that had already begun to exert forces established DISORDER, this granollerina youth had begun to walk and build other forms of struggle to change the system, playing one of those sacred precincts of Power: Private Property.

Beyond eviction today, and tissue was begun, ties will endure and seek new spaces, because the first space already conquered in that action, It was the space of mentalities, was the realization that the properties can be useless collective capitalists do and give a social utility. What apparently it was just an experiment, It may be a touch of reality, this reality of occupation of spaces, Private reuse disused buildings, with a social purpose, cultural and transformation.

20160724_105053After a week of activities under the Days for the 80th anniversary of the Social Revolution we do in the CGT Vallès Oriental, where not only we remember to honor women and men, with great courage and imagination, They dared to try to change radically the world, but it was also an incentive to continue the fight, recognizing and building on those experiences, and at the same time watching the absolute actuality of these protests, such complaints, Currently in libertarias experiences today, and that momentum to end capitalism and build a new world, truly inclusive, truly united and truly free.

As last activity, today Sunday 24 July we held Walking Libertarian collectivization of Mollet, a tour of factories and emblematic places that were collectivized by the working people of Mollet between 1936 Y 1939.

Libertario mate Juan Garcia began the story of historical memory in doors the Tannery (Modern Tannery Franco Spanish), where they had worked family members, mainly his own mother, during 50 years. The memory of the working people, the memory beaten so often try to silence us, He spoke for itself through our partner, telling what life was like in the tannery, and what it meant for us, workers, take into our hands the self-management of production and see the flight patterns. In this collectivization he had a central role the CNT, our union at that time, which carried forward decisively collectivization of industry and agriculture throughout Catalonia.

After Tenería, We climb down the street Berenguer III (Durruti called during the war) until Can Fàbregas, textile factory with other very different characteristics, also it was collectivized in 1936, where the change is less.

20160724_114036From there we move to the current school Lestonnac (Rambla Balmes, 15), the old one “convent school”, since in that building functioned the Central warehouse collectivized, where all foods of the region were managed for redistribution in times of Social Revolution. There's companion Eva, history teacher, We were also explained the workings of the PRICE (New Unified School Council) and comprehensive transformation of education during the revolutionary period.

We then move to the corner of Berenguer III and Av de Burgos, Can Mulà in the park, where the historian Jordi Viader explained his research on Central Lechera Mollet, Milk Industry Socialized, created specifically in those years at the initiative of the same CNT. It had operated the site where the dairy is far from this point (one of. Jaume I, 205), and did not make much sense to go there since today, with new buildings, there is no trace of it.

20160724_124136From there continue towards an emblematic point because other collectivized nucleated centers at that time, as the textile factory were Can Arderius, Can Serra (the flour) Y Can Meter (the sawmill). Is about the Tabarán, meeting place and fun of working people in Mollet, where the CNT carried out from rallies to dance, theater and all kinds of cultural events. A hundred meters there the other cultural and social center also was, he Athenaeum, where the political class was of those times. The 'stories about carpentry, Can the farinera and closed the tour collectivized Mulà.

The route of collectivization was a pleasant experience, where twenty attendees nourish us popular history, although many pretend to forget hacérnosla. Thanks to Comrade Joan, knowledgeable and memory of the working history of Mollet, who jointly he shared their knowledge with us and we.

Thanks to everyone who participated in these days you, from the organization, lending a hand in the activities, attending them, participating in different ways with your physical and supportive presence. A union we build among all of!

Health!

Chronicle of poetry and documentary

 19 of July, Anarchism, Cultural, Libertarian days, Social revolution
Jul 242016
 

20160723_184438The poetry of the "Bio-Slow" moved our hearts and fists, positioned us, the ground shook but calm because we know where we step.

On Saturday afternoon he shouted at La Marineta, where more than twenty long people listen with their skin to the torrent of words like lashes that "Bio-Slow" they were tearing us. Unstoppable, we had to almost gag them to continue with the planned activity.

So the documentary «Project A», that we expected from silence and uncertainty, without knowing what we would find, but eager to know what that was about draft in which many of us are involved. There was an expectant silence, attentive to what was said, there was identification with the militant and combative attitude, both in the stories of Athens and in Germany; there was surprise at the appearance of our CGT confederation, but not from its more combative current aspect, but reduced to the historical memory of a glorious past as CNT; there was smile, silence and confusion, with the cooperative narrative about Catalonia and Germany.

And a lively debate was generated around these issues, because if we are looking for something precisely it is to open spaces and times of debate, so necessary to find us, strengthen our bonds of solidarity and transform everything from below.

ProjektA_Ananzeige14Logos.inddFollowing the Conference on the 80th anniversary of the Social Revolution, It is Saturday 23 of July to 18:00 h, at the Civic Center Marineta (Pl. Church, 7, Mollet del Vallès, a 100 mts of the Old Town Hall), we will have the presentation of the poetry group "Bio-Slow", who present themselves in this way:

THE BIO · SLOW (POETRY TO THE RESCUE) It is a current project that encompasses poets and performers on the Barcelona stage, repeatedly or occasionally, depending on the case. The main purpose is to bring poetry to the street, or present it where it was not expected (thus escape from a closed circle where poets attend acts of poets). We are interested, particularly, be on the barricades, instead of just in the comfortable rear guards of conventional recitals.

«Project A»

Later we will also exclusively pass the documentary «Project A», from Marcel Seehuber & Moritz Springer (2016).

Financial crises and waves of refugees, social inequality and ecological catastrophes, terrorism and wars ... Western civilization is like a bullet train speeding up against a wall. And to the control of the controls, governments that apparently are not capable of solving people's problems. Aren't they even part of the problem?Are there alternatives?

Project A is a documentary that contradicts the typical cliches about anarchism and makes one thing clear: Another world is possible. Be in the Exarchia district in Athens, with its anarchist influences; protest actions against nuclear energy in Germany; CGT, as the world's largest anarcho-syndicalist organization, in Spain; or the projects of the Catalan CIC cooperative or the Kartoffelkombinat group in Munich, also cooperatively organized.

These activists contribute their idea of ​​an independent existence of the State and its structures, based on equal rights and with the objective of a solidarity and community economy.

Project A brings to the table an alternative vision of the world and shows some anarchist ideas of life and joint action. A form of society in which no one should have the power to control knowledge, natural resources, the earth or other people.

With the assistance of twenty people, Peter explained the basic lines of his book, with historical and current examples of social practices self-defined as anarchists and others, without proclaimed anarchists, in his practice of self-organization, self-management and autonomy, have many elements that link to the ideal and practical libertaria.

The discussion also check our need to promote self-organization and autonomy of social movements, from a perspective libertaria, the need to rebuild and strengthen solidarity ties that make us free people, and to oppose capitalist barbarity that day after day trying to destroy these ties.

Thursday 21 July, presentation of the book "Anarchy works"

Anarchy-the-works-webFollowing the Conference on the 80th anniversary of the Social Revolution, It is Thursday 21 of July to 19:00 h, at the Civic Center Can Pantiquet, will present the book "The works Anarchy», with the presence of its author Peter Gelderloos. Here we reproduce a synthesis of the formulation of the book.

Examples of different times and places. Near 90. A third of them are directly experiences anarchists; the rest, “stateless”, “autonomous” The “antiauthoritarian”. More than half correspond to the current western society. Examples that make up the book of the author anarchist Peter Gelderloos, “The works anarchy”, published in 2008 in its English edition (what the reader should keep in mind when approaching the book and assess examples) and in 2014 in Spanish. A collection of experiences that demonstrate how a society is possible “alternative” based on mutual support, horizontal decision-making and self-organization.

The author raises questions over a text of almost 300 pages divided into sections (“Human nature”, “decisions”, “Economy”, “Environment”, “Crime”, “Revolution”…). The overall answer lies in the title of the book, an assertion: the works anarchy. One of the first questions (page 26) is “Are not selfish people by nature?”. The author responds with the US case. You can question of the “most selfish country of the world”. “But even in the United States It is easy to find examples of institutional cooperation that make up an important part of society“.

Capitalism has selfishness as one of its great philosophical foundations, in addition to the warrior status, competitive and patriarchal people. Nevertheless, a century that Kropotkin published “Mutual support”, which argues that in humans there is an inclination to solidarity and mutual help. This is, in fact, a core element for the evolution of societies, rather than competition. Even more, Solidarity is a non-exclusive tendency of people, because it can also be seen in many mammalian species, birds, fish and insects. Another widespread belief that fights Gelderloos is to consider the West as the pinnacle of progress and complexity. The author considers that incurs “eurocentrismo” who considers the hunter-gatherer, possibly knowledgeable about the use of a thousand different plants, as less “sophisticated” the operator of a nuclear power plant (possibly this, unlike the individual devoted to hunting and gathering, does not know the origin of the food you eat).

And all're all invited to come and participate!

First of commemorative days of the 80 Social Revolution Anniversary.

Awesome !! The exhibition… 26 panels that tell us about the libertarian movement, AIT, self-management, anarchosyndicalism and Communism Libertario inter.

After the documentary was passed “economy Col.lectiva” It is showing how in the early months of the Spanish Civil War, in Catalunya men and women workers, stop after the coup, companies took, the collectivized, reduced workplaces and improved their facilities and machinery, improving productivity and quality in the produce, unifying wages, introducing some companies the family wage, although what is given more is the reduction of differences between occupational categories, medical care for l @ s @ s worker who could not work and a similar or equal to the obrer @ activ salary is guaranteed @, 60a retirement with salary between 50 and the 85%, It is reduced unemployment by creating new jobs and working hours reduciedo… what became clear was that the work had, It had to distribute. As an example in the collectivized barbershops one shift 8h is replaced by two 6 and a half hours a day, and Textile Industry Badalona working time is reduced to 32h weekly.
the price is low rent, increase public performances (cinemas, theaters…), schools are created, training centers for l @ s worker @ s, libraries, journals, it improves water supply system, the light, the transports, communications and lower prices for all services.

It's the economy at the service of citizens, without bosses or masters and the margin of any government, so autogestionaria.

Are the years that Catalonia is more independent in its history without a doubt, It has its police, Your army, has it all ... until May the 37 which is operated by the central government.

It also shows how from the government led by the Socialist Largo Caballero and then by Juan Negrin, fearful of social and economic transformations in Catalunya, boycotted the whole process, they did not want it to work collectivization. They also had fear that the people of Catalonia majority unionist had a power of weapons
On the one hand were the CNT, FAI and POUM, Supporters of collectivization and secondly the UGT (who had participated in the collectivization), PSUC, left Republicans, the Government of the Generalitar directed by Lluis Companys and the central government that boycotted the whole process to destroy.

Jordi Viader finally we talked about the Dairy Industry Socialized, how it was conducted collectivization, improvements of machines, the installations, unification of dairies and happened several photos on the topic…

You can see everything (unless documentary) in this video.
