OPORNIK Anarchist Zine

Pre - Notes: Somewhere in time I translated some of (I think) the best writings about the dignity. This zine could not be public because of not having enough money.
This were some of the things I read before becoming interested in anarchism. These writings can begin  a debate about philosophal and pragmatist (practical, easy) anarchism, I never thought the ideas form Borges and Bakunin were, in some way, contradictorious.
Don´t forget to send your comments, critics, "you stink" or other pretties and /or kisses to our guestbook.
At these days, more texts in english are uploaded, check them. these were originally writen in april, 2000, and refreshed in march 2003, but now we have more texts.

Revolution

"Revolutions aren’t games where children play, nor  academic discussions where vanities are killing themselves, nor  literary championships where nothing is sinked but ink. Revolution is the war, and who says war means destruction of the men and the things. Is, unquestionablely shamy for humanity that there hasn’t been invented yet a pacific way for progress, but history has shown us that everything new has been done with blood sink..., it’s, so, impossible to be a real revolutionary without making acts that, from a civil and criminal code, constitute delicts, and also crimes, but in the real and serious practice appear like unavoidable"

Mijail Bakunin.

 

No Justice... NO PEACE!
 

The Books

There are people who cannot imagine a world without birds; are some who cannot imagine it without water ; I’m unable to imagine this without books. At history goes, man has dreamed and created lots of invents... In the first pages of "El Quijote" , Cervantes wrote that he used to read any paper he found in the street. Now the inestatic and precious world can be lost; only a book can save it. Hugo wrote that all library is a faith act; Emerson, that it’s a shelf where the best thinkings of the best are saved...I don’t know if there is another life after this, but I hope that the same books, with the same portraits, the same illustations, maybe with the same errors. For a curious , and a lazy man ( I am nominated for both ephitets), the dictionary and the encyclopedy are the most enjoyable of literary sorts.

Jorge Luis Borges.

 

 

 

THE LANGUAGE

In the victoriany times the word "pants" couldn´t be said in front of a girl.

Today at days, it´s not good to say some things in front of the public opinion; the capitalism has the artistic name of market economy ;the victims of the imperialism are called third world countries, the same when we call shorts to children; oportunism is called pragmatism; poor are called carent people; the expulsion of children because of their economic situation is called schoolar desertion; the right of the boss to fire the employer without indemnization nor explication is called flexibilization of the laboral market; the official language recognices the women´s rights like if men were the most; when the thiefs are from a good family they´re called cleptomans; the robbery of public money by corrupt politicians is illegal rich process; a black or a nigger is a color person; we don´t say death, but fisic desaparition; the dead in military situations are casualities and survivors are colateral damages; in 1995, when France started to prove nuclear weapons, the french embassy in New Zeland said: "I don´t like that word. That are not bombs: they are things that explode" ; Dignity was the name of one of the concentration camps in Chile and Freedom the same in Uruguay ; is called Peace & Justice the paramilitar group that, in 1997, killed 45 campesins, almost all women & children that were praying in a church in Acteal, Chiapas.

Eduardo Galeano, From the book Feet above, the School of the World in the Opposite Way, 1998

Zapatistas. The massacre in Acteal was done by a paramilitary group called Peace and Justice.

To be radicals is to go into the causes.

Burgeois influences about the anarchy

To know the text written by Luiggi Fabbri " Burgeois influences about the anarchy" has become obligatory for those to want to know how not to distort this life philosophy. Written more than a century ago, this valuable document is very in force now at days. The particular conception of burgeosy noto the anarchy is radically different from the real one. They have shown the anarchy as chaos, violence, and in some cases heroic and individual. Is known by all of us that they almost success in their loss of prestige, because there are lots of people who follow this kind of concept.

Violence, Fabbri says, is enough to be in contradiction with the anarchy, because of the consecuent sorrow and tears, is something that makes us unhappy; but it´s true that we must use it when necessary, not when rational, unuseful,or when it´s against the things we propose.

So, if you want to know how anarchy has been transformated into the concept of chaos, read " Burgueois Influences About the anarchy"
