Valeriano Orobón Fernández, born on this day in 1901, was a Spanish anarcho-syndicalist theoretician, trade union activist, translator, and poet who wrote the lyrics of the revolutionary song “A Las Barricadas”.
Orobón believed in the organizational power of unions, believe that they would have a major role in reorganizing society in a more libertarian fashion. Orobón was also strongly opposed to the communist (i.e., Soviet) ideas in Spain during the Spanish Civil War.
Shortly before his untimely death from tuberculosis, Orobón wrote the words of “A Las Barricadas” to the tune of “Warszawianka 1905 roku”, itself a well-known Polish revolutionary song. The anti-fascist tune became the anthem of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), and one of the most popular songs of the Spanish anarchists during the Civil War.

Theory:
Went to a local meeting of the German left party (Die Linke) today. Was super worried that it was gonna be a bunch of zionist libs. After all the topics on the schedule were discussed and everyone was standing outside the building and chatting, I kinda hesitantly asked the guy I was talking to about where everyone was at on Israel/Palestine (The age range was like 20-70).
In response, he went over to the oldest guy around and asked him “Why can’t Germany be normal about Israel?” and this 70-year-old German grandpa started ranting about apartheid, genocide, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, censorship of pro-Palestinian voices in Germany, everything.
You have no idea how relieved I was. For the first time since October 7th I was hearing other German people acknowledge that Israel is a genocidal apartheid state. No “We have to support them because of our country’s history”, no “It’s complicated”, no “But October 7th”, no “But Khhamas”. This Syrian guy told me that his family comes from a town in the Golan Heights and how people with German and Syrian citizenship aren’t allowed to travel to Israel so he can’t visit his hometown anymore.
I feel a little less insane after 18 months of nonstop propaganda. So happy that the local lefties aren’t just radlibs. The old grandpa later told a story about how one of his comrades farted in a cop’s face at some protest back in the day. Not everyone in this country is a lost cause.
That’s fantastic to hear, it can really be isolating not having IRL comrades to talk to…
Your message is very relieving. After years of busting my ass to prepare to move westward, with Germany always having been an option, I’ve been pretty disgusted by the news coming from there. The US has been more brazen but I’m not nearly as disappointed in them.
A few of my friends in Germany are basically staying mouth shut about any real issues because they’re scared they’ll lose their visas. Hell, one of them has citizenship now and he’s afraid to speak up about anything. Or even order a specific book online for me lest it get him on a list.
And I’m just from Lebanon, I’m not Palestinian or Golani like the guy you mentioned. I’m implicitly associated, but not implicitly guilty by birth. You’d think Germany of all places would know better.
You’d think Germany of all places would know better.
Haha no, it feels like Germany wants to convince everyone (including itself) that it was actually the Arabs who committed the Holocaust.
Do you need a specific book ordered from Germany? If you still need help with that I might be able to help you out

Got admitted in two (as of now) Chinese universities in China for next year!
I’ll get to continue to see the collapse of my country
from afar for the foreseeable future, that’s nice.latest chapo made an interesting point (admittedly after reminiscing for too long about some TV show I’ve never heard of and will not watch)
whoever takes office after Trump will have to go whole hog in rooting out everything he’s done and punishing officials for their involvement, or all this is just gonna slip into president and we’ll be stuck with this as normal… you know, kinda like what Obama didn’t do after taking the reins from Bush.
My partner had a ton of old credit card debt that got written off this year. That generated a tax bill of over $4300!
It’s such bullshit that it’s considered a taxable event to be so poor the credit card company would rather take the tax write off than try to collect.
I was going to try an offer in compromise because they are on disability and poor, but it’s such a maddeningly complex process that we can’t even start because the stupid IRS website won’t recognize their identity documents. It’s so amazing that the website to file for relief has the security of fort Knox, but I can make a credit card payment with no verification at all.
:beanis:
I really hope I get this job. During the interview I found out its unionized and the pay is actually really good. PLEASE SOMETHING GOOD HAPPEN TO ME JUST ONE TIME THIS YEAR AND LET IT BE THIS
People say you need to get out of your comfort zone, but my life hack is that I have never been comfortable
Canadian redditors can’t stop saying stupid shit like:
If we get annexed by the USA, we will VOOT in their elections, and we’re so progressive it will turn the whole danged congress and senate BLUE, and then Trump will be sorry!

Pro-natalism is crazy. What do you mean you want kids? Do you know how long those things live for? Sometimes as long as a small dog or a cat.
i don’t want to be an uncritical cheerleader for my party but what has got to be one of the single stupidest smears against PSL is that we’re cop collaborators for getting permits for peaceful protests & for having a police liaison.
yes. we should absolutely risk unprepared masses of people getting arrested at what are basically recruitment & awareness-building parades.
infantile!!!

IMO the correct way to experience Beowulf is to have somebody drunkenly stumble their way through it at a bar. This is how the authors intended it to be taken in.
