Here it is, already fifteen years since Franco took power, soiling that part of our future that we allowed to become lost with Spain. The churches that our friends burned in the countryside have been reconstructed, and the penitentiaries have closed on the best of us. The Middle Ages begin at the frontier, and our silence strengthens it.

It is necessary to envision this situation in a sentimental manner, no longer letting the intellectuals of the Left amuse themselves. This is uniquely a question of force.

We ask the proletarian revolutionary parties to organize an armed intervention that supports the new revolution of which one recently saw the first signs in Barcelona -- the revolution that, this time, must not be diverted from its ends.
