In the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria, the police and justice system is organized
in a federalist manner: it therefore always favors the smallest level for resolving
disputes. ---- The basic police consists of the Civil Defense Forces (HPC), made up of
volunteers elected by the village, the neighborhood, or at least the community of
proximity. The idea is that a security force made up of people known and approved by the
community can maintain the mutual respect and understanding essential to conflict
resolution. Before getting a weapon, everyone must succeed in training in feminism and
nonviolent conflict resolution. ---- All other civil security forces are based on the same
model, whether Asayish (paid, they guard public buildings and checkpoints), Trafik Polis
(road safety) and Jin Asayish ( unisex , they provide protection for women's homes, and
deal with violence against women).
At the first judicial level are the " peace and consensus committees " formed by 7 members
of the commune to try to resolve minor crimes and conflicts. A non-mixed women's committee
deals exclusively with women's rights, domestic violence, sexism, divorces and child custody.
If the death penalty has been abolished, prisons still exist. In September 2015, Amnesty
International counted approximately 400 detainees, the vast majority of whom were linked
to Daesh.
Following the principle of restorative justice, the prisons propose to dialogue victims
and perpetrators of violence, with the aim of reintegrating them, and to recreate the
social fabric torn apart by the civil war.

Many militant organizations, including Alternative Libertaire, have been confronted with
the issue of sexual and sexual aggression within them. If it is obviously out of the
question to act as if nothing had happened, the answers to be given need to be thought in
order to support the victim, and ensure a framework of militancy as " safe " as possible.
---- " Not one less " is the slogan of women in Spain and Latin America against violence.
---- Sexual assault can occur in any environment (professional, sports, community ...) and
the militant environment is not exempt. ---- Women, transgender people and non-binary
people are systemically sexist in all spheres of society. The militant milieu does not
escape ! Despite the feminist positioning displayed by many left-wing political
organizations, their members are from society. If no deconstruction work is done, this
position remains a facade and the behavior continues. This is how activists regularly
denounce rapes and sexist assaults on the part of comrades. How to support the victim ?
Should she file a complaint ? Should we have an internal procedure ?
to hear and support, essential prerequisite
When a person comes to testify to an assault, the first thing to do is to listen to it
without questioning what it says. This step is very difficult for her to live. Starting a
psychological job at this time would be a mistake. It is best to inform them of the
existence of competent structures (the Feminist Collective Against Rape [1], for example)
to help and support them. Immediately, the militant group must stand in support of the
victim and see how best to protect her.
For that, you have to ask her what she needs. Removing the aggressor by suspending him
from the organization also seems obvious. The person who has been assaulted can not feel
good in the fight if they are constantly afraid to meet the attacker. In most cases, the
victims eventually stop fighting, no longer supporting this promiscuity.
Afterwards, it is up to the group to take regular news of the victim, to show him that he
is supported, that his testimony is taken seriously and that the group takes its
responsibilities towards its aggressor. On the other hand, to the extent possible, it must
be ensured that the victim is not alone locally, that people are present for her if the
aggressor tries to approach or harass her.
Should we file a complaint when we denounce the racist, sexist and violent actions of the
police ? We know how cumbersome and difficult this type of procedure is for the victims
who feel guilty and challenged (" What did you wear ? " "What did you drink ? ") And very
few convictions at the end of the sentence. trial - when it takes place.
However, today institutional justice is the only one with the legal power to protect the
victim by condemning the aggressor. It can also protect other potential victims and,
perhaps, deter other abusers. Of course, we are against prisons and the judicial system
but must we take it upon ourselves and be quiet when we are victims of rape or aggression
? It is up to the person who has been sexist-assaulted to decide whether to file a
complaint ! The collective must neither push it to do so nor prevent it. He must tell him
that it is a possibility and that he will support it without fail in his choice, whatever
it may be.
The collective decision must not be conditioned by the filing of a complaint ! When the
aggression comes from a comrade, feelings of betrayal and permanent insecurity add to the
physical and mental pain. This is even stronger if the collective does not take its
responsibilities and does not support the victims in a clear and total way.
Very often, when a sexist aggression occurs in a political group, we see the nauseating
smells of the hierarchy of struggles. As incredible as it may seem, many victims have
found themselves accused of dividing the forces, of being selfish, of not being political,
of not thinking about the general interest and the cause then presented as necessarily
superior to " Differences between people ", etc.
These odious accusations are all the more virulent if the activist involved is considered
important, charismatic, without whom the fight would be, according to some, not possible.
Here too we realize that to get rid of this kind of arguments, a real work against
virilism in our organizations is necessary.
act internally, denounce collectively
A political organization is not competent to do psychological monitoring and can not do
justice in society. His only field of action is the militant milieu. Its only possible
actions are the exclusion, the denunciation of the aggressor and the protection of the
victim. To do this requires a collective decision, the only way to really support it, and
that allows to empower all the activists.
On the other hand, whether punctual or permanent, a non-mixed group is needed to gather
the victim's testimony so that she feels comfortable and safe. Knowing that sexist attacks
regularly occur in the militant milieu, it would be interesting for all political
organizations to have a precise procedure put in place and discussed before that happens.
A procedure decided collectively before the facts gains legitimacy and will be more
difficult to challenge when it is applied.
Alternative libertaire has a procedure in case of sexist assault, set up at the congress
of June 2015, a few months before the accusations of rape of one of our comrades against
Fouad, a member of AL in Moselle at the time. It consists of immediately suspending the
accused activist and forming a non-mixed group. This one collects the testimonies of the
victim, possible witnesses and the aggressor. It is responsible for writing a report in
which the accusations will be recalled, anonymized testimonials retransmitted and any
information that will allow an informed collective decision will be transmitted. The next
federal coordination must decide whether or not the offender is excluded. In this case,
the vote was massive (98%) for its exclusion.[2].
When a sexist attack takes place in a militant group, the reactions and the way in which
this group will manage the situation are decisive for the victim but also for all the
women and people concerned by the sexism. None of them will be safe and comfortable in the
group if they have an abuser, and therefore will not be able to campaign. We must
collectively ensure that everyone is safe from gender-based violence, because our feminism
can only be a facade, it must be part of all struggles !

TO CLOSE THE PHASISM AND THE SYSTEM WHICH GIVES AND GIVES THEM ---- On the evening of 17,
at dawn on September 18, 2013, the anti-fascist musician Pavlos Fissas is murdered in
Keratsini by the Nazi knife G. Roupakia, an active member of the neo-Nazi party of Golden
Dawn. Paul, defending his friends, faced up to 60 drop-outs of fascists, in the presence
of DIAS, who remained spectators. This murder is added to that of Shahzat Lukman a few
months ago, which in turn was the culmination of hundreds of attacks, beatings and
beatings that fascists have been doing in recent years. They were targeted at migrants,
lbbtq + people, trade unionists and anti-fascists. Their inflammatory action is also known
in immigrant homes, places of worship, but also hangouts, occupations and struggles.
In the wake of the economic crisis, growing social disapproval towards the political
system, and the increasing anti-immigration policies implemented by the state, a
multi-faceted controversial movement, inspired by the December 2008 revolt, as well as by
the direct democratic movements of the squares see indignant ones). So it was time for the
neo-Nazis of the AS, the organized partisan who always acted on the margins of political
developments alongside the MATs, to be exploited by the state and the bosses as another
obstacle to the popular struggles and claims. As of 2011, with the decisive help of the
regime's media, the "small" neo-Nazi gang of the AS began to turn into a new "alternative"
political party to enter parliament a few months after. The mobsters and mobsters of
yesterday, "transformed" through parliamentary seats and state funding, parade on
television panels, screaming everywhere their racist poison and being elated on lifestyle
shows. They were heroic with staged reportages, supposedly helping defenseless
grandmothers, organizing hatreds and donations only for Greeks.
At the same time that the well-timed journalistic propaganda produced constantly
xenophobic reports, constantly highlighting the fascists, they themselves in Parliament
have been zealous in proving to their bosses how useful they are. The "anti-system" ATHEX,
in exchange for promises, voted in favor of shipowners' tax cuts, the debts of the FCA,
supported a number of privatizations (eg Agricultural bank), public enterprises and public
real estate beaches, islands, etc.), supported layoffs in the public and private sector,
and created atypical labor offices "find work only for Greeks" with a daily salary of €
15! All these striking examples have proven beyond the role of the ATHEX, which, of
course, did not collide with big capital, but it supported and supported it,
With the fascists of the Athens Stock Exchange. to act provocatively undisturbed for a
long time, the murder of Pavlos Fissas has resulted in the world's anger overflowing and
the anti-fascist movement to become lighter. The political system, afraid of the massive
reaction and with the tacit acceptance of the journalists who fascinated the fascist
beast, imprisoned the fascists to calm the spirits. Shortly thereafter, the Nazi gang is
massively released and charges are "overwhelmed." The same courts, which have no evidence
of and exploit the state's legal arsenal (anti-terrorism law 187A, absolutely unreliable
scientific methods of DNA identification, etc.), condemn militants to many years of
imprisonment, exhaust the 18-month imprisonment without indictment and invent indictments
against our comrades,
Today, five years later, the new media construct on which the spotlight is turning is no
longer the Golden Dawn, but the rallies for Macedonia, which have been taking place for 8
months. Within them, the Golden Dawn along with several other smaller or local Nazi
structures play, of course, a key role, setting not only the slogan and targeting, but
also taking on the business arm of the established and with the tolerance of the cops of
"conflicts" (who really fell from the clouds with - once again - a friendly hit on the
cops' shoulder against the fascists who attacked the ESC and burned the Libertatia
occupation on 21/1 or with the video clearly showing the cops to leave free arrest des 8/9?).
The revival of the Macedonian issue was a rare opportunity for every kind of nationalist
and fascist squat to take a place in public speech and try to promote its murderous
political plans. The January nationalist rallies in Thessaloniki and Athens served this
very purpose. It became apparent to the most naive, that the supposedly uncomplicated and
non-political character of the rallies, advertised with so much diligence by the media,
was simply a sheep that underneath it hid the beast - and as it turned out it did not take
him much to feel certain and to reveal his real face. Somehow, the useful idiots turned
into dangerous idiots. It is obvious that several tendencies of the far right and
nationalist space consider it time for a parliamentary party of the far right beyond the
neo-Nazi Golden Dawn. But it is also obvious that the ideology of national unity that
seeks to instill reconciliation with class and social inequality and oppression does not
only benefit these circles but almost all of the sovereignty, as the spread of the
nationalistic poison breaks the social basis and disorientates it from its real problems
and interests, especially during periods of capitalist crisis (characteristic of the
"petty slaves" banner "If bread and olive is needed, but the homeland always high" It was
at the rally 8/9).
Now that the "consultations" between the "two" sides have resulted in the name "Northern
Macedonia" for the neighboring country once again the national indignation overflows with
the audacity of neighbors living in the northern part of the geographical area called
Macedonia to "whisk" the name "Northern Macedonia" (!). What if the use of the term
"Macedonia" has long been accepted by the Greek side (Former Yugoslav Republic of
Macedonia)? These are fine prints for patriots who will once again rush to present in
nationalist rallies, side by side with declared Nazis, at the same time that they are
unlikely to be fascists. The Macedonian uniforms will come back from the wardrobe, the
face of the Megalexander and the star of Vergina will be re-conquered everywhere,
(thankfully those who really did not hesitate to put on the banners of the traditional
KILLUMINATI slogans and ROTHSCHILD your end comes), Nazi slogans will be heard again by
the "pure Patriots "(" Anarchists and Bolsheviks, this land does not belong to you "and" a
knife in the heart of every contradiction "), stripped-up macedonoscopes beside priests
with masked masks that shine on Virgin Mary's images will appear on our screens, (!), and
the (not disguised) fascists will find a first-class chance to come to the fore, in a
patchwork of frightening conspirators who believe every incredible shit that they call
them - like, for example, . that the shockingly low level of their mental and perceptual
abilities is responsible for covert aerial sprays with highly secretive supertechnology
organized by secret services - and church obscuracies or partisan organizations that are
accustomed to stomping sculptures and theatrical performances to exorcise them. (It is not
a matter of wondering, then, that the fascists of "Holy Loch" and "Objective" feel
intimate in such a mental environment.)
The oppressed and the exploited have nothing to divide between us. Our oppressors are
common and have the same name, regardless of their nationality, and they are the state and
the capital. The only thing that nationalism manages to do is to separate and distract
them from the bottom by facilitating the bosses, and that is precisely the service that
offers sovereignty, that is why it is systematically promoted and planted on the social
basis. We, for our part, will strive to dissolve every separation on the body of the
oppressed and exploited. Therefore, we must fight together with the oppressed and the
exploiters of all countries to create a common internationalist front that will raise a
barrier to nationalism and fascism, who will fight against the state and the capital,
which will thunder that it will not let our bosses separate us on the basis of
nationality, color, sexual orientation, gender, religion or any other line. Who will fight
for an a-state, a-class, a-national life society, for a free life.
Alongside nationalism, we will struggle to crush its most advanced form: fascism, whenever
he tries to raise his head. In this city, we saw the various fascists trying to appear on
the road with various occasions. We see them now and lead the a-colored rallies, the first
berry behind the banners, the first berries in the "episodes". The ending of the total
movement of the national torso and fascist frontman has so far recorded attacks on combat
venues (the arrest of Libertatia occupation, attacks on the ESC School, the ESF Favela,
the Free Self-managed Theater Forward , to fans and players of the self-organized football
team of Progressive Toumba, to the occupation of Lely Karagianni 37, to the occupation of
a former PIKA, in the former Murder in Alexandroupolis just a few days ago), defections of
the Jewish Holocaust Monument and the Jewish cemetery, attacks on migrants or passers-by
because they carry Muslim religious symbols. We can see now clearly that the organized
core of these rallies is the epitome of the black reaction, especially if we take into
account the anti-Semitic actions they have undertaken, the chauvinist-racialist rhetoric
they are stating, by generalizing it generously with conspiracy theories of absurd
stupidity and obsessive perceptions, but also the anti-anarchist and anti-communist
slogans that shout. All of this simply complements the overall fascist (hence unarmed
enemy of the proletarian masses) profile of the organized front of the rallies, trying to
take root in the public sphere. It is worth mentioning, however, that aiders in the theme
of nationalism, as shaped by rallies for the Macedonian issue, are amongst others
bourgeois parties that oppose the search for votes within a conservative-reactionary
audience, the church, the Russian factor (see bribery right-wing and metropolitan bishops
by Russian diplomats) and various pieces of the local bourgeoisie, thus confirming that
from this whole case the only real winners will be the states and the head Laius on both
sides of the border. The racist storms continued in the nationalist rally on 8/9, where
the so-called "grandiose" rally picked up only 6-7,000 people, mainly fascists,
nationalists, priests, members of partisan organizations, Christian-Taliban and other
black and spooky guys with whom unfortunately we share our city. Once again, during the
rally, the "protesters" (strangely this right-wing manhole is referred to by the channels
as "protesters" and for so many years we all, workers and workers who go out on the
streets claiming our right to life, are referred to as " hurt "), attacked cars that had
Macedonian signs or carried Muslim women (the reason for the attack was the scarf that the
passengers wore), one of them threatened a journalist with a gun.
The world of the struggle, the exploited and the oppressed, all and all that we have not
forgotten the brutality of the historical past, we must drastically curb any attempt to
develop fascism and social cannibalism in the world of the social base. We have to crush
fascism in the whole social field in which we move and live: in the streets, in the work,
in the schools and in the schools, in our neighborhoods.
Against reactionary and diabolically disciplined voices condemning violence wherever it
comes, we find that proletarian anti-violence is a means of social and class self-defense
and counter-attack in order to prevent social conditions of generalized violence and
enforcement. It is a response of the oppressed to oppressors.
We, as anti-fascists and anti-fascists, no matter what the fascists invoke to get out of
their hole and assemble a number of racists, greek-believers, religious, we see fascism as
the long hand of capital. And that is why we are not separating our struggle against the
fascism from it to capitalism. Fascism is the intensification of the capitalist condition
of the exception. Our fascism wants slaves of the bosses. Fascism intensifies the
misappropriation and militarization of labor, placing conditions of extermination on the
"labor force". We have no illusion that the final blow to fascism will come through the
legal way from the hands of the state, since fascism is a weapon of the bourgeoisie itself.
Fascism is the birth of this world of oppression, exploitation and exceptions. That is why
it is treated in class terms, upsetting the system that rears it and which it always
serves. We will not leave our city to the fascists and the nationalists, as few as they
are, no matter how ridiculous they imagine.

In August, nearly one year after Hurricane Maria wrecked Puerto Rico's electrical grid and
plunged its 3.4 million residents into darkness, island officials heralded a milestone:
The lights were back on. The state-owned electric company even tweeted a photo of a
smiling family it said was the last to receive power. ---- But Christine Nieves, an
activist in Mariana, didn't celebrate. She and her small mountain community near the
southeastern coast had already restored electricity-on their own. Tired of waiting on the
government's halting repairs, she worked with a band of self-described "anarchistic
organizers" from the mainland to install a small solar grid, one of more than a dozen
like-minded efforts across Puerto Rico. By the time electric workers showed up, Mariana
was two months ahead of them. (The Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority declined to
comment for this article.)
The power uprising over the second largest blackout in world history provides a window
into the civic and political landscape in a place where government institutions, saddled
by bankruptcy and a federally appointed management board, failed in devastating ways. It
also underscores a sobering reality a year after Maria: Many Puerto Ricans are, to some
extent, still on their own. For eight months after the storm, Mariana residents lived
without stable means of lighting, refrigeration or laundry. "People were on the verge,
psychologically and physically," says Nieves.
She and her partner established Proyecto de Apoyo Mutuo, or Project for Mutual Aid, to
coordinate clean-up efforts, prepare meals and check on locals after the storm. The
initiative attracted the attention of a mainland group called Mutual Aid Disaster Relief,
whose founding members did disaster relief work in New Orleans following Hurricane
Katrina. To MADR co-founder Jimmy Dunson, Nieves's efforts echoed his own group's
"anarchistic organizing"-revolution with more purpose than protest. MADR volunteers were
already in Florida, helping in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, when family and friends
alerted them of the dire situation in Puerto Rico. They pooled their own money and
solicited donations to purchase water purifiers, solar power equipment and plane tickets
to the island.

"It was quite surprising when they showed up to our operations, and they kept coming
back," says Nieves. Together, the two organizations distributed food and water and
provided basic health care, setting up a key project: the installation of a solar-powered
"micro-grid" in Mariana, a self-sustaining electric system owned and managed by the community.
Working with local construction workers, electricians and even firefighters, volunteers
overcame understaffed ports and destroyed roads to import a solar array, battery bank and
storage container to protect all of the equipment from future storms. Total cost: $60,000,
funded by donations. The grid now powers an abandoned school turned communal kitchen, a
laundromat and an office, where residents can charge their electronics and tools. The
system does not reach individual homes, but its modular design can be expanded or
transported to where need is greatest.
Twenty miles to the northwest, volunteers have installed a smaller system in Caguas, a
city in the heart of the island. Despite police efforts to block them, locals seized a
building and turned it into the Centro de Apoyo Mutuo, or Center for Mutual Aid. "There
are over a dozen mutual aid centers all throughout Puerto Rico," says Dunson, "and if the
funding comes in, we will work with each and every one of them to set up similar
photovoltaic systems."

The " serial killer ", a modern day croquemitaine, is actually a very rare figure. People
with mental disorders are far more victims of violence than they are. If there is
dangerousness, a serene and benevolent frame is enough to contain it. ---- What will you
do with " dangerous lunatics " or psychopaths ? This is the recurring argument against
those who want to end prisons. Not surprising because these figures of " crime without
mobile " occupy an important place in the security discourses and very often justify the
most repressive logic in the name of the idea that there would be no other solution. ----
An old imagination ---- In France, bourgeois law rested on the theoretical distinction
between crime and madness. Article 64 of the Penal Code of 1810 thus established that "
there is no crime or offense, when the defendant was in a state of insanity at the time of
the action, or when he was compelled by force to which he could not resist . In this way,
individuals could be criminally " irresponsible " in the face of an act they had committed
and were in that case sent to the asylum where, in general, they purged the rest of their
lives.
This distinction was quickly questioned. First, because the contours of madness evolved
with medical discourse and from certain exceptional facts, new theories were born,
creating a " gray zone " mixing sordid acts with mental disorders. Secondly, because
certain politico-theoretical currents, such as the school of social defense or criminal
anthropology, developed criminal doctrines encouraging individuals not to judge according
to their actions but according to their social dangerousness. These currents had a certain
influence, especially in the 1920s in Italy and in the 1930s in Germany.
A representation that persists despite the reality
The " criminal without mobile " is a persistent figure. Although far from reality: 80 % of
murders are committed by and on people who know each other. On the other hand, people with
mental disorders are much more victims of violence than they are authors. " Serial killers
" are a very rare species ... but much more publicized than a marital murderer for example.
In reality, the solutions depend on how the problem is defined. Safe logics are based on a
biological deterministic conception of violence, for which there is no alternative to
neutralization. However, acts committed by people with mental disorders are more related
to specific events, management failures, or environmental factors than to the disorders
themselves. [1]. Numbers of practices experienced in psychiatry post-May 68 or in social
work respond to these issues by providing a framework containing serene and benevolent for
some individuals suffering [2].

"We will continue until justice is attained." The words of Jorge Merino concluded the
demonstration held in his support and Paul Alberdi, sentenced this week to 1 and almost 5
years in prison after the general strike of 14N in 2012 ---- by Israel Rodríguez Citores
| 08/08/2018 ---- A storm began at the same time as the demonstration began in support of
Jorge Merino and Pablo Alberdi at the entrance to the new building of the Logroño Courts.
The nearly 30 liters per square meter that fell on the capital of La Rioja failed to stop
more than 2,000 people who came to show their indignation at the sentence. People also
came from other corners of the country, such as Cordoba, Zaragoza, Mataró, Ourense or
Gasteiz. ---- Besides the logroñesa march, there were also demonstrations in different
cities like Burgos, Zaragoza, Mataró, Madrid, Santander, Jerez, Valladolid, Cordoba,
Pamplona and Seville.
This has been an emergency call to a "surrealistic and unjust" conviction, according to
the Stop Repression collective . On Monday, September 3, Jorge and Pablo received the
summons to take notice on the day after the sentence of the April trial that closed the
case after nearly six years of the longest trial against demonstrators by the general
strike of November 14, 2012. On Tuesday, a hundred friends and relatives went to court to
receive news of the incident: a year in prison for Jorge for inducing public disorder and
four years and nine months for Pablo for disorderly conduct and attack on authority.
As they approached, the assistants took refuge under the umbrellas in different groups. A
few minutes after 6.30 a welcome text was read that highlighted how "in the sentence last
Tuesday, the judge shamelessly copied the prosecutor's initial report almost six years
ago, rejecting the evidence of the defense." According to what the group has defended, the
judge has dedicated herself to "apologizing for the actions of the police" instead of
verifying the events for which Merino and Alberdi are accused. Subsequently, the retreat
of human, civil and political rights in La Rioja was also denounced.
The demonstration began with a banner on the head of the march that read "There is no
case. Absolution of George and Pablo ". As the front of the march was already entering
Gran Vía, people were still leaving the Tribunal.
Despite the rain and wind, the participants continued to express their indignation at the
unexpected sentence shouting "Jorge and Pablo freedom," "Trial of the 14N: shame, shame,
shame" or "Police assemblies, state terrorism."
During the course on Gran Via, passers-by and tourists took shelter from the rain in the
marquees and shops, and watched as the demonstration stoically passed under the storm. The
people did not care to wet their feet in the puddles that dotted the entire course.
The demonstration arrived at Concha del Espolón after an hour and a half of march. There
read the statement of the Stop Repression platform of La Rioja released last Tuesday,
where he did nothing more than make known in this sentence that there is a clear message:
"It is dangerous to pretend that you can defend your innocence ... while the prosecution
can afford the luxury of not showing the prosecution. "
CNT Secretary General Enrique Hoz also took the floor in defense of the right to strike.
After the words of Hoz came the turn of Henar Moreno, lawyer Jorge, who commented that the
judge "is only concerned with ratifying what the prosecutor has said and the prosecutor
only cares to send us a message: the exit is the pact , and it's to bow, but we have to
continue to have justice in this country. "
Then Amparo Sacristán, Jorge's mother, wanted to thank everyone who came because, despite
having had better and worse days, she never felt alone. "Today is a very sad day: even the
sky cries." Finally, she added that "when someone is innocent and has demonstrated such
fact, it does not deserve a day of condemnation."
Jorge Merino intervened at the last moment to remember, firstly, to his companion Pablo
Alberdi who supports the highest conviction and did not participate in the act to take a
few days off with his immediate family. "We can not fail," he repeated. "We can not allow
him to end up in prison. We will not tolerate this. "
Merino wanted to emphasize that on November 14, 2012, he left to defend the rights of the
working class. Visibly moved, he also wanted to thank all the participants for the support
received: "Thank you for the presence of you who came, endured the downpour and are always
wetting us, because today we show that, despite the thunder and rain, we are here" .
Finally, he noted that the sentences imposed by the sentence are "a condemnation of the
Franco regime," but "we will continue, we will continue until justice is achieved."

The Prime Minister, the archbishop of Canterbury, labour and tory and liberal parties,
every national newspaper, every political chat show, every columnist... ---- WE ARE CLASS
WAR ---- There is a class war waging and we are losing it. The rich are getting richer and
the gilded elite who have ruled us since Norman times remain in power and dominate land
ownership just as they did when they first robbed it. We live in a feudal society
dominated by an oligarchy of privately and Oxbridge educated toffs who run not just the
government, banks, diplomacy but the media, music. comedy and even the opposition. We see
no difference between any of the parties - we oppose Labour with the same venom we hate we
hate the Tories . We don't want to kick the tories out to replace them with Labour or any
variety of failed Trots. We don't want to kick them out at all - we want to kick them in!
Comrades whatever our yesterdays you are welcome now. join in. reject cynicism. have fun.
FULL STEAM AHEAD THROUGH THE SHIT
