  • The Brief Summer of Anarchy: the Life and Death of Durruti - Hans Magnus Enzensberger
    The Brief Summer of Anarchy: The Life and Death of Durruti - Hans Magnus Enzensberger Introduction: Funerals The coffin arrived in Barcelona late at night. It rained all day, and the cars in the funeral cortege were covered with mud. The black and red flag that draped the hearse was also filthy. At the anarchist headquarters, which had been the headquarters of the employers association before the war,1 preparations had already been underway since the previous day. The lobby had been transformed into a funeral chapel. Somehow, as if by magic, everything was finished in time. The decorations were simple, without pomp or artistic flourishes. Red and black tapestries covered the walls, a red and black canopy surmounted the coffin, and there were a few candelabras, and some flowers and wreaths: that was all. Over the side doors, through which the crowd of mourners would have to pass, signs were inscribed, in accordance with Spanish tradition, in bold letters reading: “Durruti bids you to enter”; and “Durruti bids you to leave”. A handful of militiamen guarded the coffin, with their rifles at rest. Then, the men who had accompanied the coffin from Madrid carried it to the anarchist headquarters. No one even thought about the fact that they would have to enlarge the doorway of the building for the coffin to be brought into the lobby, and the coffin-bearers had to squeeze through a narrow side door. It took some effort to clear a path through the crowd that had gathered in front of the building. From the galleries of the lobby, which had not been decorated, a few sightseers watched.

  • Download at Christie Books for £1.50: 36 the Brief Summer of Anarchy
    “And yet Barcelona in those years, rather than what was done on the battlefields, was a brief revelation of something latent but dazzling in humanity: the hope to fly like angels. We, or our children, will see it again. In Barcelona and Catalonia, this epiphany was released by anarchists and anarcho-syndicalists.” Issue 10 of D.i.Y.Culture, is a homage to the class warriors of the Anarchist Revolution that started in Spain in July 1936. This was an insurrection that involved millions of anarchists and as Orwell witnessed, ‘put the working class firmly in the saddle’. An event that challenged the authority of the state, that fought fascism tooth and claw, that erased the power of the cops, that banished landlordism and overpowered organised crime-gangs, that literally burned the centuries of oppression of the Catholic church and was the largest experiment in radical, direct democracy in the history of the world - a social upheaval that had the potential to be a turning point in the history of human-kind. But this was too much of a threat to the ruling classes of the world, to the dog-eat-dog economics of capitalism and to the so-called communism of the USSR – the crushing and betrayal of this people’s revolution in Spain, was ruthless. Funded and supplied, by (among other states) the USA, the UK and the Vatican and supported militarily by Italy and Germany. A shocking, wasted opportunity to deal with Hitler, Mussolini, Franco and fascism – an appeasement that led directly to the Second World War, to the deaths and deprivation of millions and to the future direction of militarised global politics.

  • Buenaventura Durruti Life
    Buenaventura Durruti Revolutionary anarchist (1896-1836) Born in Leon, Spain on July 14, 1896. Died in Madrid, Spain on November 20, 1936. “It is we the workers who built these palaces and cities here in Spain and in America and everywhere. We, the workers, can build others to take their place. And better ones! We are not in the least afraid of ruins. We are going to inherit the earth; there is not the slightest doubt about that. The bourgeoisie might blast and ruin its own world before it leaves the stage of history. We carry a new world here, in our hearts. That world is growing this minute." Life Durruti started work aged 14 in a railway yard in Leon. In 1917 the Union General de Trabajadores (UGT) called a strike in which Durruti was an active and prominent participant. The Spanish Government brought in the Army to suppress the strike: they killed seventy people and injured more than five hundred workers. Two thousand of the strikers were imprisoned without trial or legal process. The Army had, in the words of one observer, 'saved the nation'. Durruti escaped to France. During his exile until 1920, Durruti worked in Paris as a mechanic. He was persuaded to go to Barcelona to organise the workers there. In Barcelona, with García Oliver and a number of other anarchists, he founded "Los Solidarios" (Solidarity). Members of this group attempted unsuccessfully to blow up Alfonso XIII the Spanish king. In 1923 the group were implicated in the assassination of the despised Archbishop Soldevila. Durruti and Oliver fled to Argentina.

  • The Rival Durrutis: the Posthumous Cult of Personality of Buenaventura
    CHRISTOPHER BANNISTER, PHD RESEARCHER, EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE The Rival Durrutis: The Posthumous Cult of Personality of Buenaventura Durruti, November, 1936 – June, 1937 Newcastle University MLitt Dissertation, submitted August 2009 6/29/2010 This is an extract from a Master’s thesis submitted in August 2009, the thesis was concerned with the posthumous cult of personality of Buenaventura Durruti during the Spanish Civil War and detailed the rise of the living cult and the perpetuation of the cult following the subject’s death. This extract details the cult in the period November 1936 to June 1937. Introduction On 22 November 1936 the anarchist working class of Barcelona took to the streets. No barricades were erected, as on this day as the city was not united by revolution, but in grief. The widespread mourning was for the funeral of Buenaventura Durruti, killed in the heroic defence of Madrid. Durruti was, according to press reports, tragically struck down by a snipers bullet as he inspected his troops at the front.11 By the evening of 21 November the city’s streets were impassable as the proletariat gathered to pay their respects to the one they called ‘our Durruti’.2 The funeral began at ten the following morning as the body left the headquarters of the anarchist union, the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (National Confederation of Labour, CNT), and proceeded down the Via Layetana, renamed Via Durruti, in honour of the legendary anarchist.3 The procession was followed by hundreds of thousands of mourners, many carrying banners and flags celebrating the ‘hero of the people’ and ‘the fallen hero of liberty’.4 Those without totems raised their fists in the air and sang the anarchist hymn Hijos del pueblo, (sons of the people).5 As the cortège reached Las Ramblas the crowds swelled further, as people climbed trees to catch a glimpse of the body, the exact number of mourners was never recorded, but estimates put 1 Abel Paz, Durruti in the Spanish Revolution (Edinburgh: AK Press, 2007), p.

  • Anarchist Magic: the Gathering Deck
    Anarchist Magic: the Gathering Deck DESCRIPTION, INSTRUCTIONS This de`ck is designed for the Commander (Elder Dragon Highlander) format, and therefore contains 100 cards, including a single commander. Players who desire to use this deck in standard (i.e.: 60-card play) can alter the deck accordingly. Please note, altohugh these cards are not legal in tournament and sanctioned play, they are balanced and fair (i.e.: not "broken"). As such, this deck should be competitive and completely capable of winning against powerful EDH/Commander decks, and shouldn't piss off your friends too much. The cards in this deck are meant to reflect a broad and encompassing anarchist philosophy. The creatures are all contemporary and historical anarchists. The enchantments, instants, sorceries, and other spells reflect and represent a wide array of anarchist movements, ideas, and literary works (e.g.: Sabotage, Winstanley's True Leveling, Elements of Refusal, etc.). The artifacts are all items commonly used or referenced by anarchists. All of the cards in the deck have been given a fantasy flare, so, for example, Emma Goldman is now Red Emma of Kovno. Most of the "fantasizing" is drawn from references to people, places, or works of and by anarchists. Most of the flavor text on the cards is quoted from metal bands I like. A brief note on ideology: yes the deck is Red AND Green. I made it this way on purpose. I am a devout primitivist, but I still support labor struggles and initiatives. Only by respecting each other's differences and working together to accomplish goals- both short term (e.g.: labor organizing) and long term (e.g.: dismantling the fuck out of industrial civilization)- can we hope to build a successful movement.
