clear about our ideas, which has attracted as well as
distanced more than one. We want nothing of the state
and whatever we want we think to grab it. We also need
to say that the struggle goes beyond the walls of a library and that we try to bring it inside all of the aspects
of our life. By the way, we want to precise that all the
reading material and the archive of the library has been
taken away and put in a safe place in the weeks before
the eviction. Other materials have been given to spaces
and people. What we couldn’t or didn’t want to keep has
served to feed the fire which served to cut the street off.
We preferred things to end in this way rather than to let
things rot inside of the deposits where justice puts what
she takes during evictions.
What happened on the morning of April 9, and what
was deformed by the press, has served to break the
social peace of this city, by complicating the task of
the justice officer charged with executing the eviction.
We decided to resist, while assuming the fact of abandoning the place, by cutting the street off with flaming
barricades and attacking the police. We want to show
that we can and must resist. That the daily violence
of the state against us must be turned against it. And
affirming precisely that violence is not a barricade,
but the evictions that put thousands of families on the
street, the police murder of hundreds of youngsters
every year and the locking up of so many others inside
of the prisons and the police stations; the routine of the
wage work, of consumption and social control. This is
violence, the one of state and capital: our violence as
an act of dignity. We have tried to resist the eviction
of this space by sustaining the ideas that have lead us
to go on with this projects during all of this time and
that didn’t permit us to leave without at least obstructing the execution of the dirty work, with the means at
our disposition, thereby manifesting other ways than
the legal and democratic discourse which presents the
reality only by the scope of the state logic (and consequently the one of the system).
We are happy to continue meeting up with the comrades avec all those who believe in freedom. The satisfaction of struggling side by side in the same fight goes
much beyond the nostalgic feelings about losing a house
that was almost in ruins. We have abandoned the place
in the way we choose to and have felt accompanied
in this decision. This strengthens our motivation. This
experience of so many years has taught us things and
made us grow. In paraphrasing the miserable vermin
Peronists in power and their demagogic speech we
please to say in a joking way that this is our victorious
decade. We will keep our heads high.
