And then it happened: from one day to the next, the militarism of NATO and the
capitalist neo-Stalinism of Putin returned us to the nightmare of the Cold Warthat we naively believed had been overcome. ---- Intercontinental missiles, WorldWar III, Nuclear War, destruction of the human race..., we heard terrible wordsagain to our astonishment while irresponsible politicians cheered the escalationof death while, without a doubt, checking the ventilation systems of theiranti-nuclear bunkers. ---- NATO was born as an instrument of the only State thathas used nuclear weapons, the only State that in separate crimes againsthumanity, heinous and never tried, has leveled two defenseless cities with atomicbombs. The State that spread terror for decades in Latin America, the State thatmassacred Vietnam and Iraq, the State that promotes dictatorships from theMaghreb to Arabia. The State whose oil companies lead us to disaster with globalwarming. Paradoxically, NATO presents itself as a solution to the problems thatits very existence creates. Because without NATO the current war in Ukraine wouldnot have started. It is true that Putin's militarism represents a threat... butPutin and NATO are not different things, but two sides of the same coin. Themilitary organization is rubbing its hands at the prospect of a long war inUkraine that will enrich its arms dealers while weakening Russia while theUkrainian people suffer death, exile and misery. If NATO's aggressiveness allowsPutin to justify his rearmament and totalitarianism at the cost of the lives ofyouth and daily insecurity in Russia, it is no less true that all this hasstrengthened NATO itself. While this military organization wages war, we, theworking class, wage our lives. And we are not ready.As anarcho-syndicalists, we once again reject their wars and, for this reason, wecall on the entire CNT and the entire working class to mobilize against NATO andagainst the Spanish government's support of this organization that makes ourlives precarious, while at the same time making us a target. nuclear warfare.Yes, because NATO does not renounce the use of nuclear weapons, we warn of thedanger that this poses to world peace and security and even to the mere survivalof the human race, which is why we advocate the dissolution of this criminalinstitution, as well as the dismantling of the entire atomic arsenal.We want the reduction of the military budget until its extinction, passing thesebudget items to be destined for health, education, care and transition towards asustainable and social decarbonized economy.We advocate the total dismantling and reconversion of the entire military industry.We demand the closure of NATO military bases and the denuclearization of theIberian Peninsula as a guarantee of security in the face of a conflict betweenpowers, in which we have nothing to gain and whose consequences would beabsolutely catastrophic.We demand the reception of all refugees wherever they come from and the end ofsupport for dictatorships like Erdogan's.NATO, to which the Turkish state belongs, is directly responsible for the humanrights violations perpetrated by the Erdogan dictatorship in Kurdistan. From the CNT we demand respect for the freedom of all peoples without usingdifferent measuring sticks according to the interests of the master in power, forwhich we support the Ukrainian people as we do with the Kurdish, Afghan, Syrian,Saharawi, Palestinian or Rif people or with our zapatista compañeras and otherpeoples of Latin America. Any attempt by power to profit from the blood of ourcompanions will have us in front of them.We believe that, given the rise in the cost of living, the depletion of resourcesand the climate crisis that we are already experiencing, the priorities must becompletely opposed to militarism and therefore to NATO.In this terminal capitalism, the options are increasingly clear: capital or life.Faced with this crucial dilemma, in the CNT we will always fight for life.Therefore, we encourage you to mobilize on June 26... and every day for peace,against wars, against NATO, against militarism, for life...NO TO NATO!!NO TO WARS!!BASES OUT!!NO TO THE MILITARY BUDGET!!FOR OUR LIFE https://www.cnt.es/noticias/sus-guerras-nuestra-muerte-nuestra-miseria/_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
