In Spain, we should have enough intelligence, enough sense of individual and collective responsibility to do for ourselves that which would be imposed upon us by a dictatorship. ”

Our constancy, same might call it our madness, was necessary to wear down the oppressive forces of the old democracy which, in Spain, was a hundred years behind the times. ”

And we will accept the creation of the Iberian Federation of a socialist republic which will give each region the right to construct its life in accordance with its economic possibilities and political preponderance. ”

The struggle is so great that the triumph over fascism alone is worth the sacrifice of our lives. ”

In order to fully realise our aspirations, we must create in the masses of the people the sense of sacrifice and responsibility that has been the characteristic of the anarchist movement throughout its historic development in Spain. ”

Authority is something from which we are constantly subtracting, of which there remains always a residue, and which we attempt to make smaller and smaller. ”

We tried many times before to speed on the social revolution in Spain; attempted to stir up the feelings of the people and to raise the banner of Libertarian Communism. ”

Prostitution presents a moral, economic and social problem that cannot be resolved juridically. ”

The love of liberty and the sense of human dignity are the basic elements of the Anarchist creed. ”

There is, therefore, no solution possible other than an economy directed by the workers through their organisations of control-through the workers' syndicates. ”
