A-Infos (en) Portugal, Direct Action #1 - November 2012 - p1 - Newsletter Collective Libertarian Evora* (pt) [machine translation]

In difficult times we survived, the Libertarian Collective Evora arises from the need to 
recreate a popular alternative that once existed and that in the last ten years has been 
stifled and intentionally misinterpreted by school representative democracy. --- While 
collective libertarian, we intend to organize a series of different activities and events 
promoters of mutual support and self-management, including, passage of documentaries and 
films, organization of debates, workshops workshop, creating seed banks, zines, dinners , 
fairs and concerts. ---- Being libertarian, or anarchist, collective work horizontally, 
without hierarchies, promoting direct democracy among tod @ s @ s who want to participate 
in it.

=========================================
* Who we are, what we want, how we organize ourselves

A group of citizens and citizens, men and women, gathered in Évora decided to form 
themselves into collective reflection and action in response to constant rape and 
limitation of their rights and individual and collective freedoms, and the steady decline 
in the quality of life and future prospects than most workers, students, unemployed, 
retired or simply unemployed face today.
Given the general crisis of capitalism, and after his death the model of "popular 
democracies", which was not more than another form of capitalism survive anchored in the 
ideology of the all-powerful State, we must rediscover alternatives which, incidentally, 
has always been the practice and theory of interventional most sectors of the social 
movement and workers worldwide.
Experiments self-management, direct action, assemblies based on the base, with the least 
possible delegation of powers, based on free thought and absolute freedom of organization, 
preferably in the network and from the base, keep your entire character of innovation and 
radicalism.
You need replacing on the table issues such as power and power relations, the state, the 
wage system, the class struggle. Reframing the ecology in the overall context of the human 
species and not just in terms of environment. Debating violence and pacifism. Understand 
how we can move from a totalitarian society, where political and economic power act only 
for profit and not satisfying the needs of the whole of humanity to a society based on the 
use and enjoyment of the vast technological capability exists today so end the gap between 
rich and poor, sick and starving, between those who have access to most consumer goods and 
those who are excluded, among those who hold power and those who are totally destitute of 
any degree of influence .
You have to think and realize what are called indices of happiness or comfort and that 
way, every human being as such can and should participate in the "banquet of life", that 
today many millions of human beings are, from birth, relegated to the margins.
realize also want to detail this society in which we integrate. Alentejo Évora and 
considering have many words to say in the local context, the clashes outside party 
politics, where the nature of the interests at stake is almost always identical and little 
manufacturing. From this our reality we know we are and we feel citizens of the world, 
cosmopolitan, and we also bring to the space we inhabit new experiences, other ideas, 
different ways of dreaming the future.
Not resigned to the menu of ideas made, ready to consume no "self-service" partisan. True 
to the old adage of the old International Association of Workers for the emancipation of 
the workers will be the workers themselves or will not, believe that all organized and 
stakeholders have a say in the conduct of our lives and build spaces meeting and break 
with social apathy and political immobility that seem to characterize today's world.
's against it is that we fight against it and we'll hit. In favor of a life worth, in 
fact, is worth living. And no survival that capitalism (in its various forms) has to offer 
us.
Given all that, we promise not stand by and rip new windows in the immense plain of ideas 
and practices and invite those who agree and sympathize with this manifesto to add her to 
our voice.
