(en) Spaine Regeneration: The FEL-UAB nucleus joins Batzac, dissolving the Federación Estudiantil Libertaria By BATZAC - JOVENTUTS LLIBERTÀRIES (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Sat, 18 Jan 2025 10:05:03 +0200


Statement: The FEL-UAB nucleus joins Batzac, dissolving the Federación Estudiantil Libertaria ---- With no nucleus left, the FEL ceases to exist, closing its 10-year journey of struggle. We explain the journey that has led us to this decision in this statement. ---- Balance sheet work ---- Since the summer of 2022, the FEL-UAB nucleus, together with former FEL-Madrid militants and other like-minded militants, have been doing a balance sheet work on our experience and performance. This balance sheet is the Senda, and so as not to get lost in details we refer you to reading this document.

In the mandate of this balance sheet we have dedicated most of our efforts to promoting especifism as a revolutionary strategy. We promote the new editorial line of Regeneración Libertaria, writing articles as a Federation and as militants to clarify and defend the revolutionary position of the Especifist current. In this sense, we also promote the Especifist Meeting. The work in the student field fell into a secondary plane. By joining Batzac we consider our work in the general field of Especifism to be fruitful and we rearm ourselves to address the student field.

History of the Federación Estudiantil Libertaria

The FEL was born in the summer of 2014 in the wake of the 15-M and the Independence Process. With the disappearance of the FIJL-FIJA, it becomes the only non-union anarchist organization with a scope of action throughout the entire Spanish state. Often, in addition, it is the only anarchist organization in its locality.

Throughout its history, it has tried to promote federal work, with unsatisfactory results. This lack cannot be explained only by the loss of experience in the complicated generational transfer of student militancy, it is also explained by the lack of militant culture or, rather, by the hyper-autonomist militant culture that reigned in the 15-M cycle and the Independence Process. By grouping together in a larger organization, with its own responsible and disciplined militant culture, we resolve the organizational problems of the FEL.

Why did we join Batzac?

Between Batzac and FEL, in Catalonia, there has always been a constant transfer of militancy and affinity. We identify with the project, we are excited by its own reformulation work and we share its concerns. We believe that, in the current situation, it is the ideal time to promote specificism in working youth, paving the way towards the Revolution and Libertarian Communism.

The legacy of the FEL

The student nuclei that Batzac may have, and the Student Front that we plan to create, we see ourselves as heirs of the Libertarian Student Federation. We see its projects and campaigns as our own, such as its recurring campaigns against the Selectividad, the Popular University project approved at the Third Congress of the FEL, or the use of student unionism as a tool for all struggles in the educational field. We think that, above all and with its limitations (which we intend to overcome after this process), the efforts and work of the FEL have revolutionary potential.

We will also maintain the Senda as our own communication brand, using it as a tool for publishing the balance sheet on the FEL, which we will continue to generate.

Within the framework of the balance sheet expressed in the Senda, we do not see the use of an anarchist student organization in a region where there is no more general anarchist political organization. For those who may find themselves in the situation of creating an anarchist student organization in a territory lacking a general anarchist political organization, we recommend that they promote a especifist anarchist organization, understanding the student sphere as another sphere of social insertion. We will give them all our support from the especifist organizations.

With the same balance, we do not see a Libertarian Student Federation at a state level as useful if the especifist organization is not sufficiently developed and powerful to exist at a state level. For potential anarchist student organizations that seek to federate (locally or statewide) and find themselves under the name of the FEL, we recommend that they join the sister especifist organizations with the objective of promoting the especifist organization, creating the conditions for the existence of a more powerful Libertarian Student Front attached to the general especifist organization.

Networks

This nucleus, now Batzac-UAB, is using the new account @batzac_uab to communicate through this social network. We invite you to follow us!

Farewell

Saying goodbye to an organization that we have supported for 10 years is a great emotional burden. Even so, the ex-FEL comrades with whom we have contact have accompanied us in this process, seeing its dissolution as necessary. The FEL has left a not inconsiderable mark on the revolutionary militancy it has welcomed, and its ten years of experience do not disappear, but are condensed in the especifist movement it has promoted.

With this new orientation we continue to fight. We overcome the limitations of the Libertarian Student Federation and fulfill our mandate as revolutionary militants. With the red-and-black thread of combat of the revolutionary militancy of our class in mind we tell you, not for the last time, the motto that has accompanied us these ten years of struggle and that we take up to raise it towards the future:

Up with those who fight!
