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!

[LABOR PEDAGOGY: Conclusions of the Pedagogical Reflection Days of the Isarda Group]

The teachers, Catalan professors have been developing our professional activity for decades, understanding and taking the students at the center of the learning process.

Along these lines, we accompany them in the individual development of their skills, strictly respecting the corresponding pace of learning for each child and young person.

In our Pedagogical Reflection Days, we have appreciated that the enormous human and humanistic effort made by Catalan school workers to adapt the competence achievement process of our young people to their own characteristics, needs, emotions and learning rhythms does not have any kind of decent continuity in the Catalan company.

The company selects and segregates the young worker according to levels of competence and experience, throwing down the sink all the baggage and inclusive and comprehensive pedagogical effort implemented by the teaching staff.

At this point: or the school is wrong, and we already have our beloved politicians working hard to renew the curricula and adapt them to a selective and segregating model as demanded by the current company, or it is the company that urgently needs a profound reconversion to fit into the characteristics of Catalan society.

In a first analysis we have relied on infallibility, independence of judgment and independence from factual lobbies, of the Catalan political class when determining the appropriate studies and methodologies in the training of the Catalans of the future.

This being so, we have determined that it is the Catalan business community that errs in its approach, since it focuses on the reductionisms of the final product and profit.

It is very clear that a business model that focuses all its objectives on these precepts will never be able to go hand in hand with a school that is competent and sympathetic to people's needs. This employer model would be at odds with a competitive school, selective, meritocratic and segregating, with individualistic effort as the main value, to put each student "in his place", greatly facilitating an "orderly transition" from school to work. A "classist" arrangement, need.

Resuming the premise of the infallibility of the curricula ordered by our political class [in the next days of pedagogical analysis, the review of its suitability is planned: both of them, like others], the Isarda Group has concluded that the Catalan company should necessarily make the corresponding effort of empathy and corporate improvement to adapt to the characteristics and immanent needs of the young and adult population of Catalonia in the XXI Century.

In order to be in tune with today's Catalan society, business should urgently reinvent itself and innovate its outlook, rigidly anchored in the productivism of past centuries that have already been overcome. He should renew his focus and redirect it towards the worker (and worker) as a center of trunk interest. After all, it is the workers who make the work possible.

When leaving school (means institute, university) young Catalans are competently trained through decades of a complex and delicate learning process based on their interests, abilities and learning rates, these being particular and individualized.

Like this, it makes no sense for the company to escape the comprehensive course focused on the now former student by selecting him and emotionally draining him in procedures of well-publicized personal frustration.

It is the company that must take on the challenge of changing its outlook and creatively reinvent itself, adapting its production or services to the interests of each and every one of its workers. The same should be done with production processes, work rhythms, competence capabilities, uniforms, vacation…

That it is difficult to adapt to such diversity and that a company in one sector cannot start producing T-shirts at the same time, sweets, video games and jams so that this corresponds to the interests of their workers, trained in the creativity of learning to learn? And that he can't do the schedules and holidays that they want, paying them the salary they need? That every productive process needs good organization and cannot be based on a series of improvised events? That a single company cannot comprehensively attend to their individual needs 200 workers?

We are in the 21st century and we must adapt to its challenges.

Advanced companies must turn difficulties into upheavals and see them as opportunities and challenges to overcome day by day.

What better challenge than to make the country's production and services humbly available, interests, capacities and rhythms of Catalan citizenship.

That would be making a country!

Politicians you are soul crushing and burying the excellent teachers under tons of red tape;

Entrepreneurs who only do it for your own personal gain:

YOU GET THERE?

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!

laanarquiafunciona-721x1024Thursday we had the presentation of the book "Anarchy works", with the presence of Peter Gelderloos, author of the book and militant libertarian.

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.

Thanks to Peter and to the comrades who came to listen and participate in this interesting debate.

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!

Free women - 80 anniversary of the Social Revolution

Jul 182016
 

indomablesIn the framework of the Days 80th anniversary of the Social Revolution, It is Tuesday 19 of July to 18:00 h, at the Civic Center Can Borrell, we have the presentation of the exhibition "Free women», and pass the documentary "Indomables: a history of free women». The following is the presentation of the film.

“Free women was an autonomous organization, outside the structures of any organ of the libertarian movement. Without giving up his anarchist roots practiced a worker feminism. They were labeled aimed at preparing women to participate in first person in the libertarian revolution. That is to say, They wanted to train women, They are suffering high rates of illiteracy and attract them to the libertarian movement. They had to fight a culture of deep Catholic roots and, the most painful, against indifference if not contempt of his colleagues libertarias. Despite having reached more than 20.000 affiliates only in the Republican zone, They never were admitted as part of the General Council of the Libertarian Movement. With this documentary we tried to find out what they thought, what his political approach and how they developed their work.

To achieve this we have interviewed two direct protagonists of this story, Conchita Liaño and Sara Berenguer. Both took part actively front line in the glorious days of July the 36. Both with considerable political and human baggage.”

You are all and all s INVITED Tuesday to Can Borrel!

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.
