Calling all Barcelona-based Ukrainian anarcho-communists

Local "anarchists" showing Nestor Makhno, paysan d'Ukraine this Friday.

The local petit bourgeois-anarchist-romantic-vegetarian clique, Rosa de Foc, is screening Hélène Châtelain’s hagiography, Nestor Makhno, paysan d’Ukraine, behind the green door at Verntallat 26 at 20:00 on Friday. Makhno was the Ukrainian millenarian warlord chief of the non-party party during the Russian civil wars, and responsible for genocide committed against non-Ukrainian groups. In exile he worked as a carpenter for the Paris Opera and at Renault, but no cheap jokes, please. For those of you who can’t make it, and in particular for No Good Boyo, the documentary is available online. Here’s part one:

I rather like Makhno’s dull-witted great-nephew at 5′30″:

I work. I live. I cultivate my garden. I plant onions. What else? It’s OK.

  • March 21 1848 

    En Barcelona como en otras partes comienza hoy la primavera, que en honor de la verdad no suele ser aqui la estacion mas hermosa del año. Cierto que ya los árboles comienzan á echar hoja, y que la linda y olorosa violeta alfombra los jardines y ribazos, y que le hacen cortejo otras flores; per...

Josep Pla, Palafrugell (1918-9)

  • 21 de març de 1918 En aquest país tenim un costum molt curiós. Quan ens trobem, al carrer, dues persones, cara a cara, no tenim, a penes, res a dir-nos. Però, una vegada acomiadats i fets set o vuit passos, se’ns ocorren tot d’una una sèrie de coses urgents a dir a la persona que hem deixat fa un moment. [...]
  • 21 de març de 1919 Inici de la primavera. Biblioteca. Tot traduint Renard penso que és més important dominar un ofici qualsevol que posseir una curiositat dilatada, vastíssima. La curiositat es pot improvisar; un ofici, no. La curiositat és superficialment agradable, però deixa una certa buidor amarga per dintre.
