A-Infos (en) Spaine, CNT #437: EDITORIAL: Crucified by the System - LAURA MAEZTU | DIRECTOR OF THE CNT (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

"A law of nature is not a formula drawn up by a legislator, but a mere 
summary of observed facts - a 'set of facts'. ---- Things do not act in 
a particular way because there is a law, but we establish that 'law', 
because they act that way. Emma Goldman. ---- Crucified by laws that 
have nothing to do with a way of acting and living together logic and 
that have been imposed on us force. Each law is a threat in itself. Laws 
that consider the direct action of groups defending the planet as 
terrorism but it establishes fees so that administrations can exceed 
discharges into a river. The Administration fields its wide, but be 
careful if you disobey.
States at the service of capitalism with their paid legislators
They establish laws to dominate, nullifying common sense, cooperativism 
and freedom.
Laws that sell us as protective, convince us of
that by imprisoning or fining justice, justice is done, but that at no time
do they focus on solving the root problems. She says
the Law that we all have the right to decent housing but if not
You can pay for your house, eviction, however they don't worry about
end poverty, or the immigration laws that resolve with
hot returns, C.I.E.s...but they do encourage theft,
exploitation and wars in people's places of origin
migrants.
Crucified by Catholic morality, under the motto "you will pay for your
"sins" get us to censor ourselves even when something
It is not regulated by bourgeois law. With that fear of divine punishment
and with guilt as a banner, they keep us at the bottom,
submitted to the service of God and to his privileges as representatives
of the LORD, and not madam, or we will burn in hell. It's disturbing
the control they have over any government, past and present.
How they interfere in any State, even if it is non-denominational.

And so the State, with condemnation and sin, dictates what we can
or not to do. Always with the blame on our backs, even if not
we have killed a fly. Who doesn't try to hide when
Does he see the police? Although we are not disobeying the law.

This is how this framework of State and Church works with the law, the
morality and order, influence all areas of our lives, that is
It is important to question where the rules that govern us come from,
with its double standard of measure and what they are for. Always with 
punishment
as a means and as an end. Every time I hear that someone is going
to enter jail and ask what has he done? always in my head
the same answer arises, being poor.

As anarchists, feminists and class unionists, CNT and the
Punitiveness will never go hand in hand. Punishment is always carried out
vertical, that is, authoritarian manner. Without allowing the possibility of
solve our problems, incapacitate us, or make us feel
incapable of being able to protect us. Living outside the system, can
It may seem difficult but it is possible. Starting by feeling and 
assuming how
own the difficulties of others. In the face of a system that perpetuates 
social inequality, let us be able to resolve conflicts among all, as equals.

I take advantage of these lines to thank the publisher Imperdible
to send us the book «Prison does not punish crime. "Punish poverty and 
rebellion" where Pastora González Vieites, mother
by Xoxé Tarrió tells us about her fight against the prison hell, the
sewers of the state in the fight for the freedom of her son. That I enter
in prison to serve two years, four months and one day for a small 
robbery and that these two and a half years became 71 years of firm 
sentences and he became a FIES prisoner. And when an attempt has been 
made to build a free, fair and supportive society, the authoritarian 
force of the Law always intervenes. Let what moves us be
the desire for the common good and not the fear of punishment. Let's 
look for the
cracks this system until it falls.

In these lines I do not want to forget the Palestinian people. That
stop the genocide and return freedom to Palestine.
