resistance, social change, only five or six years ago, talk about the company recovered or 
cooperatives in Spain was a matter not only marginal, but profoundly alien to the 
interests and experiences of the vast majority of the population .

As part of the company of the bubble, the unbridled consumption and the "party" youth, no 
one has raised - or have done a lot of very small groups or geographically localized - the 
need to work for the same horizontal perspective outside of capitalist command. ..

Updates: Do not push, there is something for all
elections most useless of Republican history have demonstrated for the umpteenth time, 
after a show too humiliating to be compelling despite the wise direction of the regime, as 
beyond all intents every illusion of political change is not covered by the current course 
of history, at least through the farce of parliamentary democracy. Few stories, the Fiscal 
Compact, approved by the previous government in March of 2012 and imposed by the ECB and 
by European governments approved simply says that you have to reach a balanced budget. And 
'then a European agreement, the Italian State has to cut resources for about ? 40 billion 
a year for the next 20 years, but, as they are bankers and prevedenti States have agreed 
to the creation of a rescue fund, "ESM" , which will cost Italy ? 125 billion over the 
next 5 years. Well as those who want to do it, just do it ...

Editorial: The First of May


The first reaction of / the Chicago anarchists to the announcement by the Federation of 
Workers in the United States and Canada, the general strike for 8 hours of May 1, 1886 was 
insufficient to judge. But he subsequently made of the need to support the strike, as they 
were able to see in the struggle for the eight-hour reform is not just a simple, but 
profound discontinuity.

The slogans that referred to 8 hours of work, eight hours for rest and 8 hours of free 
time, involved with this in mind the need of those who lottaano to take charge of his own 
life, to choose which is the sense of time, work and social life in general. For this 
campaign in the first months of 1886 keynote speakers were anarchists, who uttered the 
most ardent speeches against the established order and for the construction of a society 
of equals, in front of thousands of strikers mobilized.

The fierce repression and persecution by the state fell upon precisely on those who 
mobilized in those days, leaving several dead and imprisoning those who later became known 
as the martyrs of Chicago.

The current historical moment seems light years away from that 1886. "At this stage 
capitalism has reached unprecedented globalization. Has extended its neoliberal policy 
over most of the planet. His international organizations act consistently overwhelming 
benefit of a small group of powerful, and the fragmentation of all forms of resistance. 
Destroying the world of work, the ties of solidarity, social life, the same situation of 
the poor ... "

During this period of great difficulty we have to build a strategy to break with the 
system of domination, and to do this we need to organize, in all spheres of social life, a 
radical transformation. In this sense, the construction of a force capable of social 
self-management is essential if we are to defeat the ruling class, to defend us from 
economic mechanisms and institutions that oppress us by strengthening the social 
hierarchies of command and obedience.

E 'need to build and participate in class organizations that are opposed to neoliberalism 
increasingly inhumane, the insecurity and the forms of destruction of social life, not 
just reforms but a reversal of perspective on life and social organization in the name of 
solidarity, participation, individual and collective subjectivity that is in constant 
dispute with the capitalist system.

Anarchist communism is the historical practice of the oppressed, which results in the 
construction of a social project that proposes the primacy of self-management at all 
levels of social life: this is the path that we have chosen to build a world without 
domination, to build this horizon of freedom, and as the martyrs of Chicago, like so many 
other boys and girls in our history many companions who have dedicated their life to this, 
now it is up to us to find ways to engage in this cause, here and now, and fight for this.
