The Commune... WITH THE WORD AS EXAMPLE: LOUISE MICHEL By Gaucha Anarchist Federation (fr)

Not if you can kill the idea - the shots of cannon or tie it ---- When the Commune was 
defeated, the Versailles troops massacred people for 8 days straight. They say the female 
battalion of Louise Michel "peleou as demon." Soldiers killed most of them in cold blood 
when they were unarmed. In general, were killed more than 20 thousand Communards, another 
43 thousand were arrested and deported 5000. Louise Michel escaped, but surrendered 
because blackmailed by the arrest of his mother. Appeared before the Fourth War Council 
and said: " Since it seems all my heart that just barks for liberty is entitled to receive 
a small amount of lead, I request my part. If they let me live, I will certainly cry out 
for vengeance and denounce the killers ... "

Declarations of Louise Michel in his judgment

" Oh, certainly, sir attorney general, the results you odd that a woman dares to defend 
the black flag. Because we have guarded the demonstration under the black flag? Because 
this is the flag of strikes and indicates that the worker has no bread.

The people starve, well, I've taken the black flag to say that the people had no work and 
food. This is my crime, the judge as they please.

If there are so many anarchists, is because many people are sick of sad comedy, it's been 
so long, we show governments.

In short, the people have no bread or no work, and we have more perspective on the war. 
And we want the peace of humanity and unity of peoples. These are the crimes we have 
committed. Each seeks his way, we seek our and think the day that freedom and equality 
reign, mankind will be happy. "

On the right of women

"I admit that the man also suffers in this society cursed, but no sadness can be compared 
with the the woman. On the street it is a commodity. In convents, where they are hidden as 
in one tomb, the ignorance of the minutes, and the rules amount to your machine as gears 
and spray your heart and your brain. At world is bending over the mortification. At his 
home, his task to crush. And the men want to keep it that way. They do not want that it 
usurps its function or its securities. "


"In the group meetings of Women's Rights, and other meetings, more advanced men
applauded the idea of equality. I noticed - I had seen before, and seen later that men, 
despite their statements, although seemed to help us, always conformed with appearances 
... convinced me that we simply see women take our place without asking why. "is tarde 
?que os homens, suas declara??es n?o obstante, ainda que parecessem nos ajudar, sempre 
seconformed with the appearances ... me convinced that we the women simply musttake our 
place without asking permission for this. "

" I salute to all those brave women of the vanguard that were the group in group; the 
Committee of Vigilance, the Society of Victims of War, and more later the League of Women. 
The Old world should fear the day on which those women finally decide that already had the 
lot. Those women will not falter. A force up refuge in them. Take care with them ... Take 
care with the women when they are tired of all the that the surrounds and stand up against 
the old world. this day one new world begins. "

On the power

" Perhaps it would be better for the people if all we that drove the struggle now we fall 
in battle, to that after the victory not become more E tates major general. So the people 
couldunderstand that when the whole world together shares the power, then the power is 
fair andsplendid ...

Who will inform the crimes he commits the power, and the way in which the monstrous power 
transforms men? "

A poem of love and farewell

Les ?illets R ouges (The Carnations Crimson-red)

Quando ao negro cemit?rio eu for,
Irm?o, coloque sobre sua irm?,
Como uma ?ltima esperan?a,
Alguns ?cravos? rubros em flor.

Empire in the last days
when people woke up,
Their smiles were crimson carnations
In saying all reborn.

Today, bloom in shades
of black and sad prisons.
'll bloom and stuck with the grim
And tell him how much we love him sincerely.

Say that, by the time it is fast,
Everything belongs to what is to come
domineering That vile and pale
can also die as the dominated.

Louise Michel
