Words by Gabriel Pombo da Silva and Elisa di Bernardo for the day Memory and Kontrakultura
May 22nd, 2024
And it still seems like yesterday… a comrade fell in action… and soon we know his name: Mauricio Morales!!!
Coherence, the determination to put together an idea as a project does not seem to be part of the path of many comrades… there has always existed and will always exist the singular individual who stands out among his comrades for his revolutionary exemplarity.
It has always been difficult to open the way and transmit confidence to our own… Our own? Yes! Our own!
Convinced iconoclasts, we believe that “our own” are those who practice what they say and with them we recognize ourselves in discourse and practice. We know the price of coherence… like Prometheus we share the word, the experience and the torment… we believe in what we think and consequently we speak.
We are persecuted when we say ours because in our discourse and practice we are irretrievable for the state and capital. And yet, indecently, when they kill us or lock us up, those who have turned ethics into an alternative programmed leisure enjoy the undeserved glow of individual rebellion.
None of our people lives and dies in vain… existence teaches us strongly refractory individuals and the absorption or alienation they relentlessly fight against.
We remember Mauricio with his wide and luminous smile… a smile that always accompanied his determination, the power of his words, the coherence of his actions.
To be consistent with our own ideas is a choice of Extreme Love and he knew (we know) that this could mean imprisonment or death and it was death that found him that early morning 15 years ago.
We continue to find our comrade and brother Mauricio beautifully violent in every sigh of dignity, in every breath of rebellion, in every action of solidarity and in every cry of Anarchy.
To fight against the States and all authorities is a duty and a revolutionary pleasure just as it is to fight against oblivion.
Dear Mauricio, we do not forget you and here we remain on the warpath without ever lowering our guard.
We embrace you in the creative chaos that drives us at every moment to reach Freedom and Total Liberation!
Long live Anarchy!
Long Live Freedom!
Punky Mauri present!
Gabriel and Elisa
