Interview of two anarchist projects by Informativo Anarquista.This is a machine translation so keep that in mind, see the original article here.
We believe that memory is neither a finished nor definitive exercise, but rather one that translates into shared languages that guide our resistance from the particularities of our environments and connections. Consequently, it is collective and constantly evolving. Its importance lies in its role as a body of knowledge—often intangible and oral—rooted in values, codes, or, why not say it, in our revolutionary morality. This heritage endows us with our own legitimacy, urging us to act in accordance with experiences, knowledge, differences, discussions, reflections, mistakes, dynamics, and practices. This range of unique situations and tools shapes our identity, character, and drive. With all of this, we possess a set of tracks that allow us to give a sense of continuity to the decisions made, thereby preventing a rupture in space-time between our past, present, and future horizons, enabling generation after generation to move toward total liberation. In this sense, anarchist memory has been a point of connection, a reason for coming together that gives way to the search for and the forging of affinities with the decisions and paths that a comrade built throughout their life.
Mauricio Morales captures, in part, what we mean: how we come to keep the heart of a departed comrade beating with determination, how we manage to carry on what he gave us in life. And that, despite the pain and sorrow, despite the persecution and imprisonment that this entailed, networks were forged, bonds of solidarity were strengthened, and his anarchist legacy has been carried on to this very day.
