a people's revolution in which the means of production, consumption, distribution and communication are appropriated by people the world over; the repression of any attempts by exploiters (in any form - slumlords, rapist-cops, racist-cops, Transnational CEOs, and anyone else who makes a living off of the repression of the world's peoples) at preventing the revolution or restoring exploitative social relations; mass struggle within a self-managed society against interpersonal forms of oppression such as sexual assault; and living to see a generation of people who only learn about oppression in history studies. ....

Libertarias
Spain, 19 July 1936. The revolution has begun in a city near Barcelona. María, an innocent young nun, flees her convent when revolutionaries invade the area and finds refuge in a brothel. Here she meets a group of "Libertarias", anarchist militia women who are fighting not only Franco, but also the conservative attitudes toward women that prevail as well in the revolutionary ranks. The group is led by hard-liner Pilar, whose seconds-in-command are the clairvoyent Floren and the big-hearted prostitute Concha. Pilar quickly feels a strange fascination for this young nun whose father is a fascist. On their way to the front, the group runs into a defrocked priest who joins up with them and falls in love with María. There are three main locations: the vicinity of Barcelona, the trenches, and Saragossa. Aranda describes the daily existence of these anarchist freedom fighters. When the protagonists arrive in Saragossa, the streets are strewn with bodies and weeping women. María catches her first glimpse of the face of war and her sympathies, despite her background, go out to the freedom fighters.
Libertarias is an epic of sorts that mixes documentary, tragedy, romance, comedy, objectivity and introspection in order to dramatize not only a war for freedom, but also a more underground struggle, the war between the sexes.

A las Barricadas
A las Barricadas is probably the song most widely associated with the
Spanish Revolution amongst English speaking anarchists, one version of the words is below.
Negras tormentas agitan los aires
nubes oscuras nos impiden ver.
Aunque nos espere el dolor y la muerte
contra el enemigo nos llama el deber.
El bien mas preciado
es la libertad
hay que defenderla
con fe y valor.
Alza la bandera revolucionaria
que del triunfo sin cesar nos lleva en pos.
En pie obrero a la batalla
hay que derrocar a la reaccion
A las Barricadas!
A las Barricadas!
por el triunfo
de la Confederacion.
Black storms shake the sky
Black clouds blind us
Although death and pain await us
Against the enemy we must go
The most precious good
is freedom
And we have to defend it
With courage and faith
Raise the revolutionary flag
Moving us forward with unstoppable triumph
Working people march onwards to the battle
We have to smash the reaction
To the Barricades
To the Barricades
For the triumph
of the Confederation
Heroes

Who I'd like to meet: Everyone who called themselves an anarchist because they wanted worldwide working-class revolution, but distanced themselves after being burned out by lifestylists and anti-civilizationists.
Everyone who wants to call themselves an anarchist for the former reason, but was intimidated by the latter.
Come out for a hootin', hollerin', good time with folk music, workshops, good southern home cookin', apple bobbing, brew, friends, family, and great stories to tell!

HEllo from greensboro! We are in the works of starting a campaign around and against work here in greensboro. we are wondering if you have any ideas or stories concerning organizing workers in the not so friendly south?
Thanks for adding me. ¶ Our many problems have a common root: Bullies, liars, thieves, and murderers — particularly those in public office — believe people are motivated only by greed and fear. They want us to share that belief, because they use it to justify themselves and to manipulate us. But you and I have found something better inside ourselves and our friends. It's in everyone, if we can just wake them — we're all one flesh and blood. Spread the word. The outcome to the ideological struggle is not yet determined, so no one can afford to be a spectator. ¶ The Iraq war, like most wars, was based on lies. And now the occupation is making new enemies faster than it can kill them; that's helpful only to arms dealers. The economy is all wrong too: the rich get richer and fewer, everyone else gets screwed, and the ecosystem gets trashed. These problems are not new, but lately they've become so blatant that we've begun to understand them. It's time to end the military-industrial complex and the corporatocracy. We the people must control government, and government must control business, not the other way around. A good start would be transparency in government, public financing of election campaigns, trustbusting the media, and ending corporate personhood. ¶ Question authority. Carry on the struggle. Hold onto hope. Keep singing. Hand in hand, we can heal the world. — Love, Eric
We will be discussing trying to attend the upcoming Andrew Flood event in the CTRAC within the next couple of days. And, keep us informed about the speakers from RAT once things finalize with that.
It's very possible we will have some submissions for the CTC's publication, for we are also working on our own to be released very soon. We are looking for submissions ourselves. But, we will speak about sending ya'll some submissions when we meet again in the next two days.
