"Far away in the forests of New Caledonia, I once saw a rotten tree collapse suddenly. When the cloud of dust dispersed, there was only a heap of trash, over which, like headstones in a graveyard, a few green boughs stretched out, the last effort of the old tree dragged down by the dead trunk. In that tree, myriads of insects had lived for centuries, and they, too, were engulfed in the collapse. Some of them stirred painfully in the dust, and startled and upset they stared at the daylight which was going to kill them, for their kind, born in the shade, could not stand light.

Like those insects, we live in an old tree, and we stubbornly believe it still lives, but the least breath of wind will destroy it, and its debris will blow across the earth. No one can escape change."

-- Louise Michel

Krabelin gorriak jarri dizkiegu Louise Michel eta Maurice Ravel erreferente estimatuei Levallois-Perret hilerrian.

Atzo Asnieres sur Seinen seme-alabek eman zuten kontzertuaren aurretik, metroko bi geltoki aurretik gelditu, postu batean klabelinak erosi eta errespetuzko bisita egin genien etxekoen panteoi komuneko kideei.

Agur eta ohore!

The not so “big Reveal”
#Banksy is time-traveller Louise Michel ?

MV #LouiseMichel is a former French Navy boat customized to perform search and rescue. Measuring 30 meters in length and capable of up to 28 knots, she was bought with proceeds from the sale of Banksy artwork - who then decorated her with a fire extinguisher.

Martxoaren 18an ez dugu aurkitu #PariskoKomuna|ren altxamendua gogoratzeko ekitaldi askorik. Zorionez, @LibertaliaLivre argitaletxeko kideen Mastodoneko kontuari esker jakin dugu @AmiesetAmisdelaCommunedeParis elkarteak oroitzapen kantaldia antolatua zuela, eta Montmartrera igo gara, abestuz ospatzera.

Ederra izan da, 'Le temps des cerises', 'Internazionala', 'La semaine sanglante' eta zerrenda luzea entzutea.

Vive la Commune!

#Bidean #Paris #LouiseMichel #Montmartre #GerezienDenbora🍒

Today in Labor History March 18, 1871: The Paris Commune began on this date. It started with resistance to occupying German troops and the power of the bourgeoisie. They governed from a feminist and anarcho-communist perspective, abolishing rent and child labor, and giving workers the right to take over workplaces abandoned by the owners. The revolutionaries took control of Paris and held on to it for two months, until it was brutally suppressed. During Semaine Sanglante, the nationalist forces slaughtered 15,000-20,000 Communards. Hundreds more were tried and executed or deported. Many of the more radical communards were followers of Aguste Blanqui. Élisée Reclus was another leader in the commune. Many women participated, like Louise Michel and Joséphine Marchais, including in the armed insurrection. Nathalie Lemel, a socialist bookbinder, and Élisabeth Dmitrieff, a young Russian exile, created the Women's Union for the Defence of Paris and Care of the Wounded, demanding gender and wage equality.

Adopción de la bandera negra anarquista.
El 18 de marzo de 1882, durante un mitin en la sala Flavié de París (Francia), Louise Michel, deseando disociarse claramente de los socialistas autoritarios y de los parlamentaristas, se pronuncia sin ambigüedad por la adopción de la bandera negra para los anarquistas:
«Ya basta de bandera roja, bañada con la sangre de nuestros soldados. Enarbolaré la bandera negra, llevando luto por nuestros muertos y por nuestras ilusiones».
Un año más tarde, el 9 de marzo de 1883, blandirá un viejo retal negro atado al palo de una escoba durante una manifestación de parados, hecho que le acarreará la detención. El 12 de agosto de 1883, un periódico editado en Lyon (Arpitanía) llevará el título Le Drapeau Noir (La Bandera Negra).
