But we must create in each person a sense of responsibility in order that each one of us can have the right to enjoy all his rights.
From Federica Montseny
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.
Never will the Anarchists in Spain be made to suffer as they have been and are in Russia.
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.
I wish to say that we Anarchists have never changed our position. We are Anarchists as of old and still pursue the same ideals.
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.
There is, therefore, no solution possible other than an economy directed by the workers through their organisations of control-through the workers' syndicates.
The people themselves, and only the people, determine the rhythm of our fight.
