"Below and to the left is the Heart" ---- EZLN - Zapatista Army of National Liberation
---- The Anarchist Collective Ademir Fernando (FNAC) is an anarchist political grouping
especifista, horizontal structure of federalism that seeks to act as an active minority -
without transforming social movements in devices, aiming to print a combative and
revolutionary character of these. Its objective finalist achieve a company with bases in
communism - anarchist; the socio-economic self-management and political federalism. "The
political and social project of anarchism is a free and anti-authoritarian society, which
preserves freedom, equality and solidarity among its members." We understand that
anarchism has an obligation to interfere with reality so will change the material life of
the people and not only be limited to the level of ideas; to modify the reality of the
society we live in is necessary to work in several popular struggles in the neighborhood,
in the factory, in the field, university, etc .; because for us "anarchism does not derive
from the abstract reflections of an intellectual or a philosopher, but from the direct
struggle of workers against capitalism, from the needs or the needs of workers, from their
aspirations to liberty and equality, aspirations which are particularly alive in the best
heroic period of the life and struggle of the working masses " [1] .
Anarchism as socialist political current has its origin in the International Working Men's
Association - AIT, the anti-authoritarian or federalist wing as opposed to socialism
reformist, legalistic or statist formed by Marxists. Over the years anarchism developed
theoretically and practically contributing in a odd way in social struggles, as in the
Mexican Revolution, Russian Revolution, the Bulgarian anarchism, as well as the 1917
General Strike in Brazil put in Sao Paulo hands of the workers, the Uprising 1918 in Rio
de Janeiro, as well as the General Strike of 1919 in Bahia that much reflected here in the
Reconcavo, as the Federation of Workers Bahianos actively participated in the strike
nineteenth guidance to revolutionary syndicalism that at the time was on the Brazilian
Workers Confederation - then COB Barn anarchists, the Spanish Revolution in 1936, the
struggle in North Korea against the US invasion.
" On the other hand, in certain contexts anarchism took certain characteristics that you
withdrew this ideological character, turning it into an abstract concept, which now
constitute only as a form of critical observation of society. Over the years, this
anarchism model has created its own identity, finding references in history and at the
same time losing its character as a struggle for social change. This is demonstrated, more
striking way in the second half of the twentieth century. " [2]
This being anarchism model has come to our days, an anarchism out of social struggles,
working as a pass time, a subject of intellectual debate, curiosity, a scholarly niche and
all kinds of crazy and petty bourgeois. What for us is a strong threat to what is
anarchism. "Social anarchism is radically at odds with anarchism that focuses on
lifestyle, the neo-Situationist invocation to ecstasy and the sovereignty of the petty
bourgeois ego that every time shrinks more. The two differ completely in its principles of
definition - socialism or individualism " [3] understand anarchism as a class struggle
tool by as much as sons and daughters of the people must be organized to serve spark of
the Social Revolution, an anarchism black, Indian and Latin American as always here in our
continent irmanado with other companions of other lands and other languages.
Bahia was always a big Quilombo, a large Straws, learn to resist the colonels, captains of
the woods, the gunmen writing our history now with the poetry of repentistas, the litanies
of barns, in songs of praise to the Orishas of Candombl? now in ginga and knife, the
barrel of a gun or a Parabelum, a magic of Candombl?.
This university the Anarchist Collective Ademir Fernando born of struggle triggered the
first half of 2010 by a group of students for the right to stay and study at a university,
a group that became known as the Embarracados the CAHL or Remnants Camp, the struggle of
these students is also a struggle for the right of Afro-descendant population access to
university was not only a fight for a purse or access to a University Residence that
previously did not exist, but a fight against a white and elitist university project. This
fight that was facing the Central Administration of the university, the Director of the
Centre - which by all means tried to expulsion from the university until a repossession
threats, through the Pro Dean of Affirmative Actions and Policies, and culminating in the
death in circumstances a mysterious occupant students, student this which gave name to our
political collective. The death of Fernando de Senna Ademir Gon?alves [4] (24 years)
continues to this day unsolved become one more statistic black man who dies before 29
years.This university recognized "White and structurally" [5] bit racist or did nothing
for it to be resolved.
It is in this land known Reconcavo landed where many slaves for sugar mills and where he
also became independent Bahia, expelling the settlers in the lead, in capoeira and
Mandingo we affirm us and raise our fist in revolt, a cry for freedom. That each companion
struggle can beat Maria Felipa blood black woman who sank forty two Portuguese ships in
the war of independence, the spirit of struggle and rebellion that each black, Bantu,
Nago, Hausa, Jeje who fled to the Quilombo and there resisted slavery.
With the oppressed against the oppressors and Always!
