Manifesto of the Network of Alternative Resistance (1999)

Groups in Western Europe and Latin America published a political program in Buenos Aires, September 1999 to create a worldwide counter power of non-government actors. This alternative called libertarian communism is based on changing lifestyle. It is a solidarity op-position – to the bourgeois system – which is the rejection and overcoming of the standardisation of individuals, their consolidation, separation and isolation.

The 1910 Mexican revolution from the perspec-tive of the historical long term

At the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution, it is disputed again. The revi-sion of this story (as well) is done with vehemence. Such a logical framework is applied, which does not want only to reconquer the past. Its actual goal is the selective actualisation of personalities, actions, developments and situations, casting them in a different light, to legitimize and stabilise the actual developments, social groups and personalities of the very present. Restore historical facts to find our ways in the present.

El Salvador: The assassination of Archbishop Romero

On the night of March 24, 1980, Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero was shot through the heart by killers, carrying out orders that came straight from the reactionary oligarchy that rules over the country. He was killed because he was giving voice to the needs of the oppressed. To this day justice has not been done and the masses are still waiting. By his stand for the oppressed and martyrdom Romero became an icon for the theology of liberation.
