#WORLD #WORLDWIDE #SPAIN #CATALONIA #ANARCHISM #LIBRARY #News #Journal #Update - (en) #Catalunya FAC: Organizations, Anarchists and the FAC (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 The FAC has been an attempt to organize the sectors of anarchism that were not

organized, coordinated, federated and associated in any organization, with the
intention of, subsequently, achieving a coordination of the different libertarian
organizations that existed then. ---- Currently the libertarian organizations in
our territory have increased. Anarchist unions keep growing, as people's
employment situation keeps getting worse. We currently have 4 active
organizations in Catalonia: CGT, CNT-AIT, CNT-CIT and Solidaridad Obrera. And in
recent years, organizational projects such as the FEL, Batzac, Embat, the UGEL
and the Libertarian Infrastructures have emerged or re-emerged. And others have
disappeared such as CNA, FIJL and the FAI.

A libertarian coordination process has also been initiated through the
Libertarian Table, following a similar system, worth comparing, with the Taula de
l'Esquerra Indepe. But this "our table" has had neither the reception nor the
strength that was expected, since it was not created from the needs and demands
of the bases of the organizations, but from a strategy of the people responsible
for 'these organizations, which occupy spaces of
decision/representation/coordination. In addition, the whole spectrum of
libertarian organizations that currently exist has not been taken into account,
leaving out one of the CNT, the FAC, the FEL and the UGEL. With this, it is
difficult to create spaces of trust and confluence. We know what anarchists are
like, and actions of this type generate reluctance and rumours. We also know that
there is a past and certain relations of friction between different organizations
and between different people who belong to them. We also know that some of the
uninvited organizations, such as the FAC, do not have the structure to be able to
participate, but I think that is no reason to leave out part of the organized
libertarian movement in our territory

There are quite a few people who are reluctant to this form of organization,
although others believe that it is necessary. We must find spaces of convergence,
where the different libertarian organizations can organize, create and meet, to
start the long road of the masses, which scares us, but which we must create with
great diffusion and be an example.

With all this I would like to show the organizational "failure" that the FAC has
caused in my opinion. This wanted to organize part of anarchism and has only
managed to see and experience the decomposition of dozens of libertarian groups.
With all this, I do not mean that the experience of the FAC has been a failure,
but rather that it has not met the goals it had set. On the contrary, it has
served to weave networks of support and solidarity, it has united people and
projects, and many of those who have participated value the experience as
something positive that they would repeat again.

But the breakdown of many of the groups that participated, the tiredness of
sterile and unnecessary debates, forcing others to do something or to take a
position on things they don't need, the desire to control and impose ways of
doing things and all that that surrounds the problems of the libertarian world
have generated the loss of a great drive and the fatigue of many people. We have
to start organizing ourselves without wanting to impose on others. And organize
ourselves based on trust and let it happen.

With all this I want to remember all the groups that participated in the previous
libertarian meetings, the creation of the FAC and the debates. To those who
joined to see the organizational push that was there. To those who participated
and contributed their grain of sand or a whole mountain of enthusiasm and work.
All from anarchist people who must serve in other organizations or spaces or can
do it again, since the lost talent must be recovered. Human value is the best
resource we have. The one that gives us the most headaches, it's true. But
without those people, the libertarian project will not be able to get anywhere.

In one organization or another we can contribute our experience, our illusions
and make anarchism grow in the hearts of everyone.

We are anarchists and affinity is a key aspect to work at will, with whoever we
want. Territoriality and sectoriality is not the only possible organizational system.

With all this, I want to remind all the groups, assemblies, athenes and
collectives that have passed, in one way or another, through the life of the FAC,
not yet reaching its foundation, and they made this project a great illusion So
