On 19 July 1936, the sirens of factories in Barcelona not sound for the start of the 
shift. It is the agreed signal of the CNT factory committees for the defense committees. 
The army of fascists, having previously neutralize the garrison of the Catalan government 
(which had refused to give arms to the CNT) invades the city. The CNT, the FAI and the 
Libertarian Youth have already organized social and class defense, expropriating weapons, 
which share in the organized proletariat. They erected barricades, and thanks to 
information that has been collected by the CNT-FAI is known to the rebels when they 
attacked the town the army of fascists. ---- Over the next two days, the winning street 
fights condense decades of work at the base, years of persecution and imprisonment, 
endless debates, political propaganda tons of paper, riots and pickets, consistent and 
massive political, social and class organization. In Barcelona barricades fascists 
crushed, not by a government army, but by workers who defend the rights of equality and 
freedom, the anarchist movement that has been prepared for this crucial battle.

The revolution achieves its first victory, to follow and others. The worker and peasant 
communes will become a reality, the CNT and the FAI will manage what from now on is never 
longer unthinkable. The social and class emancipation, the society of the federated 
communities, people of libertarian communism, not just the most beautiful idea, it is a 
reality that lived in revolutionary Spain.

This idea we hold in our hearts the anarchists around the world, this reality we hold in 
our hands every time we come into conflict with the world of power. We honor and inspired 
by those comrades and comrades who wrote one of the most beautiful pages in the history of 
mankind, the history of the struggle for social liberation.

The struggle continues ...

A LAS BARRICADAS!

Gianni Scovino (33 years old) is a young asperger, a collaborator of the La Tortuga 
Foundation  , 1 participant in the punk scene and diffuser of articles on anarchism 
published in  El Libertario  through his channel  S3 7 ², where he usually posts videos in 
English and Spanish. ---- On July 13, he was wildly assaulted by officials of the 
Bolivarian National Police (PNB) and the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB) when he recycled 
waste to the Tortuga  Foundation in the immediate vicinity of the parking lot of the Plaza 
Mayor de Lecherías Mall in Anzoátegui state. The beating he received was recorded in the 
following video³. ---- After being struck by the PNB and GNB with the shield, kicks and 
blows was retained for 36 hours in the 521 Detachment of Zone Command Number 51 of the GNB 
before being transferred to a care center; Currently his health is improving and he is in 
the Hospital of the Venezuelan Institute of Social Insurance "Dr. Domingo Guzman Lander" 
of Barcelona.

Those responsible for the assaults suffered by teammate Gianni Scovino are the first 
sergeants of GNB, Osmel Zambrano Márquez and Joel José Díaz Carreño, and second sergeants 
Julio César Gómez Mata and José Gregorio Trébol Pinto. As well as the aggregate official 
of the PNB, Luis Ramón Cova León and the officers of the same security body, Xavier 
Alexander Díaz Salazar, Elio Antonio Díaz Maigua and Jose Alejandro Villegas Olivero.

The violence suffered by Gianni Scovino has been a constant since 100 days in Venezuela, 
which since April 1 has more than 3,500 people detained, an incalculable number of 
injured, assaults to popular and residential sectors; 303 Venezuelans tried in military 
courts and over 100 fatalities.

 From Venezuela, we make an international call to anarchist companions and companions not 
to be indifferent to the aggressions that the Venezuelan people are suffering in this 
People's Rebellion, silence is complicity with a dictatorship that oppresses, torture and 
detains libertarians.

May the indignation turn into anger against the oppressor.

With Gianni and all the Venezuelans who got up!

Anarchists in the popular rebellion.

Thoughts and rambles from a new WSM activist, an open invitation to the pissed off masses 
- Does the state of the world today make you despair? Perhaps you know deep down there's 
something wrong, that the constant stream of hate and fear pedalled by a media owned by a 
handful of billionaires is bringing out the worst in humanity? But wasn't it partially our 
own governments fault for selling guns and bombs to these warmongering states you ask? In, 
say for example, the Middle East? Maybe dropping countless bombs on civilian targets 
contributed to the huge flow of innocent refugees towards Europe and western countries? 
---- It may sicken you to see how suicide rates amongst queer people and especially 
children in so-called liberal western countries are hugely disproportionate to that of the 
general population (1), and how the barely concealed aggression towards people of 
different sexual/gender orientations is encouraged by a Christian fundamentalist political 
class - the attitude 'gays can be cured' comes to mind. (2)

How is it issues around a woman's control of her own body have been decided for the most 
part by a bunch of old men? They cry out against the 'murder' of an unborn child but who 
are only to happy to turn their back on that child as soon as it is born! Cutting funding 
to hospitals, schools, childcare, communities and arts, cutting taxes for the rich and 
allowing a small elite to become ever more wealthy while the rest of us grovel at their 
feet in adoration for the scraps they throw us through charities. Oh Mercy! Thanks and 
praise be upon those Gajillionaire wise-men who bring us jobs and riches! Why any of us 
could be them if only we buckled down and worked hard! From seeing simple things like 
closure of small shops as huge mega beastie supermarkets take over, maybe you've noticed 
how at nearly every level of society it is the people who have money that get to make the 
decisions? We are told jobs have been created, but who the F**K wants to work in a call 
centre, a bank or a supermarket anyway? When a shop workers till is counted and is found 
to be wrong by pennies they can lose their job, but when an investment banker gambles away 
millions of pounds the tax payer pays for it!

Between high-level government policies forcing fracking on communities without their 
consent, (3,4), unaffordable and crappy public transport and the plastic economy, (a 
million plastic bottles bought world-wide every minute!) (5) we are heading towards a 
pretty messy future world. Climate-change deniers aside, if the government really wanted 
to take action on climate change maybe political parties would stop accepting donations 
from the petro-chemical industry?

Ever had thoughts similar to any of these? Ever feel like you want to make a difference 
but aren't sure how? We would like to invite you to our open meetings! We are starting a 
monthly meet-up, to discuss non-authoritarian organising; run according to our beliefs in 
self-organisation and DIY attitude. We strongly encourage the idea that the revolution 
starts at home; only by meeting, organising and sharing skills and knowledge can we be the 
change we want to see for a more just society. Sitting at home will change nothing! Giving 
your vote to some far-off career politician is not going to change the world! Our emphasis 
will be on practical action as well as discussion.

We will have workshops covering topics like; thought provoking public art and 
communication, writing and journalism - Free the Media, Be the Media! (6), direct action 
and protest, conversations on anarchism, self-organisation and direct democracy. We want 
to encourage those who feel they have no voice to break through the barriers of silence 
created by the powerful, and ROAR!

WSM (Worker's Solidarity Movement) is a group which is pursuing true social justice 
through radical transformation of our society; we stand with the oppressed and defiant 
peoples of the world (refugees, workers, LGBTQ, environmental groups, travellers, First 
and indigenous peoples and cultures to name but a few). We are aiming to create a safe and 
welcoming environment to discuss and carry out radical action, share ideas and build a 
movement of resistance to the forces of profit and destruction. As a platformist group we 
welcome input and ideas from other sites of struggle, and in fact believe we must work 
together to make a difference. There is no previous experience, theoretical knowledge, or 
convictions required; we simply ask that you come with an open mind and a courageous 
spirit, and hopefully we can convince you of our belief that it is only through action 
that we can change the world!

In Solidarity and Defiance,
Patsy Caoróg

For the last time, several fascist thrill groups attempted to appear in the city of 
Thessaloniki. With their classical tactic not to announce their part of their 
concentration until just two hours before - implying that they can never appear in this 
city safely - they called for a gathering on Wednesday, July 19, on the occasion of 
Anniversary of the invasion of Cyprus, which is the next day. Eventually, at 18:00, the 
fascists informed the rest of the Greek-believers of the city that the gathering would 
take place in the white tower square - when of course the place (and themselves) were 
already being kept by the MATs, since they never go out of their burrows . Eventually 
their concentration gathered up to ... 50 (!) People, Which, after serving the well-known 
ultrasounds and the "immortal" - "immortal" with the famous spout, made a march ... on the 
sidewalk of the beach (!), Under the very, very extensive presence of the cops. Suffice it 
to say that the Video of the Congregation went up on the facebook of Holy Lode with the 
comment "We refuse to believe, however, that the Greek-believers of northern Greece are 
only" by the fascists themselves, causing memories.

Against the top 150 comrades and comrades gathered from 17:00 in the park in front of the 
work center. Passing through Iassonidos and then the Egnatia, the route remained 
temporarily for a period of about half an hour in the fountain. Then he moved on to 
National Defense to end up on Niki Street, in front of the White Tower, just a few meters 
from the "concentration" of a handful of fascists.

The anti-fascist concentration was, from the beginning, surrounded by suppressive forces. 
At the head of the concentration, the cops had placed cages to separate the two 
gatherings, in front of which they formed a large string. To the left, towards the beach, 
the cops also formed a string to ensure that the "battle" fascists of this city would not 
find themselves in any condition confronted with the concentration. Half an hour after our 
approach to the point, the cops formed a cord at the back of the gathering.

When the Fascist's "pathway" began along the sea, the anti-fascists and anti-fascists also 
moved directly, heading towards the UCSF. At the HANG junction the course was hit twice by 
the MAT, the first time on the left and the second on the right side. The defense of the 
course stood at the height of the circumstances and collided with the oppressive forces, 
which also made use of chemicals. The body of the course remained structured, despite the 
attacks and hits from the MATs and moved through Angeleaki Street, in Kamara, where the 
course was completed. Once again, the cops are attacking an anti-fascist concentration in 
order to protect the right hand of the state and the bosses: the fascists. The last ones, 
Despite the big words about "soaps and ropes" just seeing an anti-fascist from a distance 
of more than 10 meters, they are getting dumb, letting the cops clean for them. And the 
cops do it: they protect every kind of fascist party to guarantee that they will make 
their gatherings safe, hurt wild demonstrations if they see that their friends are in 
danger, they are backing up the frightening beasts to throw stones behind their lines A 
few months ago in Oreokastro). (And) this time he did not pass them: the course did not 
dissolve and anti-fascists and anti-fascists continued their course. To make sure they 
make their gatherings safe, hurt wild demonstrations if they see that their friends are at 
risk, they are backing up the crazy specimens to throw stones behind their lines (as was 
the case a few months ago in Oreokastro). (And) this time he did not pass them: the course 
did not dissolve and anti-fascists and anti-fascists continued their course. To make sure 
they make their gatherings safe, hurt wild demonstrations if they see that their friends 
are at risk, they are backing up the crazy specimens to throw stones behind their lines 
(as happened a few months ago in Oreokastro). (And) this time he did not pass them: the 
course did not dissolve and anti-fascists and anti-fascists continued their course.

Neither this time we have managed to prevent the fascists: the cops have taken care of it.
The next one though?

In other words, we would say " PHASES BACK TO YOUR HOLES "

Jean-Marc Rouillan was sentenced on May 15 to 18 months in prison. The prison for words! 
---- One can criticize the opinion he expressed about those who massacred hundreds of 
people in Paris on 15 November 2015. It is even evident that many could only find 
shocking, even revolting, his words about their "  courage  " . But it is only a few 
seconds in an hour of interview and Jean-Marc Rouillan also says, more explicitly, his 
rejection of the ideas in the name of which these assassinations were perpetrated and the 
model of society that goes with it. And, above all, should we confine all those who, at 
any given moment, say an idiocy ? ---- The fury towards Jean-Marc Rouillan is a political 
choice whose motivation is twofold: on the one hand, to continue more than 30 years later, 
to try to break an activist ; On the other hand, to use this example in the social war 
waged by a coup d'etat d'état, emergency laws, repression and state violence all azymuts.

Alternative Libertaire reaffirms that Jean-Marc Rouillan should not return to prison. He 
is now preparing his appeal in cassation. This is expensive:
Financial support, in which our organization participates, is organized ; The checks, to 
the order of the Secours rouge, should be addressed to: Ibanez - Boite Postale 110 - 75921 
Paris Cedex 19.
