by Sergio HkBk, Carla Morato, and Miguel Brea (anarcho-syndicalists and platformists) translated by CES and comrades Organized and non-institutional political spaces are at a historical impasse.

Read More Not Everything that Shines Leads to Popular PowerWe have to consider more than just what people believe; we have to consider what they do.
Read More The difference between comrades and enemies might seem obvious, but in practice it’s never as clear as it is in theoryWe have to focus our reflections on concrete needs we have because, if we don’t clearly name the needs, a specific organization risks becoming a depoliticizing, essentializing and time-consuming space.

Read More Level-headed anarchism: especifismo’s leading role“The social and political tracks don’t always need to be laid at the same time by the same people.

This goes back to the reoccurring point that the militants are responsible for the organization and the organization is responsible for the militants. Still, to prevent the establishment of […]
Read More The November Document from Militant Kindergarten“Our individual freedom can only be realized collectively, so we insist on revolutionary militancy which, for us, is a commitment to taking everyone with us to the future we want to see.

Read More The August Document from Militant Kindergarten“We seek to create proper concepts, aiming to give original character to the theory that we wanted to create, and in this endeavor, we think we have been very successful as we, in our view, construct and formalize a coherent theory, articulating classical and contemporary theories, as well as our own conceptions. We desired to […]
