<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Comrades! Libertarian greetings to all. I am pleased
to announce various people from different groups are getting together to
form a new organization called the Organizaci�n Anarquista Comunista
(Anarchist Communist Organization) which, apart from the Colectivo
Anarquista Libertad y Solidaridad, expects to present a stronger front in
the struggle, and thereby spread the beautiful idea of anarchism. At
present, we are in an excellent position in various social sectors - the
founder members of the Organizaci�n Anarquista Comunista come from other
groups where we hold positions in sectors ranging from ecological struggles
to labour struggles, and our proposals, which were always anarchist, hold
some weight. With this new group, we hope to encourage a growth in
anarchism through more concrete proposals and more radical methods and to
build the bases of a new society towards libertarian communism. We are
followers of thinkers such as Proudhon, Bakunin, Kropotkin, Malatesta,
Rocker, Flores Magon, Reclus, Malato, Berkman, Goldman, R.Mella, Abel Paz
and many other fathers of anarchism. We take as examples such experiences
as the Paris Commune, the '36 Rebellion (our greatest influence) and May
'68. We sympathize with CNT, FAI, FORA, Mujeres Libres and the AIT, those
who have kept anarchism alive. We admire the bravery and worth of men like
Buenaventura Durruti and Nestor Makhno and the power of ideas converted
into creative action by men like Ravachol, Lombroso, Emile Henry, Caetano
Bresci, Michelle Angiolillo, the Chicago martyrs, Sacco and Vanzetti, and
many more. We are accused of being hooligans, filthy, useless pamphleteers
and endless other infamous names such as petty-bourgeois (a term much loved
by Marxist- Trotskyist pseudo-revolutionaries). We have little to say in
reply to them. We are enemies of those pseudo-revolutionary ideologues who
try to keep people in submission through force and through authoritarianism
- they are no revolutionaries, they are clowns. Through our experiences so
far, we have managed to revive something which was lost following the
1940's and the rise of the Communist Party of Costa Rica which practically
killed all libertarian hopes. Some old militants of red groups told us
"It's years since we last saw black flags waving through an anarchist
sector at demos or meetings" and of course we were very happy about this,
though we believe there is better to come. In modern times, anarchism is no
utopia or myth, it is a reality and a day-to-day struggle. The revolution
is lived and built every moment of every day, from dawn to dusk. It is
nothing sacred or untouchable. The growth or the life of the revolution
depends on us. It is we who decide if this gentle breeze should become a
hurricane. Malatesta put it well when he said "We say that a revolution is
necessary, that we want to make the revolution, and to this end we busy
ourselves with stimulating the desire". With raised fists we have to work
everywhere we can to sow the seeds of anarchism. As an organization, our
principle is Freedom, our method is Direct Action and our aim is
Libertarian Communism. Ideological unity, tactical unity, collective action
and discipline, federalism and internationalism are the bases with which we
operate. We will continue to publish the anarchist journal "Agitando
Mentes" [Agitating Minds], which will be monthly, including a section
called "Prisi�n Demolici�n" which will be the mouthpiece of the Costa Rican
Anarchist Black Cross. We will be reactivating a study group and hold a
series of forums and meetings about anarchism. We will also be trying to
establish a library. We would like to take this opportunity to ask for
international assistance in establishing better links, in providing help
and in sharing experiences. We would also be grateful for any material
which we could use in our library and wish to exchange publications. We
plan to inundate this land with the beautiful ideas of anarchism. Further
ahead, we intend to set up a website. Three of our members are members of a
hardcore band called "Manifiesto Acrata" [Anarchist Manifesto] which will
be useful in spreading our ideas. If you have a journal, magazine, zine or
similar, we would ask you to publish a short piece about this message and
we would also be grateful if this message could be spread on internet
lists. Nothing else to add, except that we hope to keep in touch and enjoy
good relations! We send you our best libertarian greetings! For the
Organizaci�n Anarquista Comunista and the Cruz Negra Anarquista: Juan Pablo
Hern�ndez, Carol Ramirez, Karloz y Cesar Alvarado. ��Salud y anarquia!!
