The following lines are excerpts from an extraordinary edition of "Solidaridad obrera" in Barcelona, ​​printed on the 100th anniversary of the Spanish National Confederation of Labour (CNT or CNT). This is an important publishing initiative among hundreds of others taken on this occasion in all regions of Spain. This edition of "Salt" looks fraternal cooperation of Comrades of the two existing anarhosindikalni trends in Catalonia. It is a step towards the strengthening of the CNT, whose task remains unchanged with intervention in the labor force and social relations in the Iberian Peninsula. Unfortunately, the natural interlocutors of the CNT in Spain are not yet out of the crisis due to kolaboratsionizma between trade union bureaucracy and capital, between the exploiters and oppressors and oppressed, humiliated and indifferent people in the labor, lost faith in the enormous opportunities and forces.

In 1910 in Barcelona, ​​hundreds of representatives of many local and regional labor organizations decided to create a "Ce-Ne-Te" (translated National Confederation of Labour), an organization that represents more than a simple, albeit powerful syndicate to hundreds thousands of members.

Confederation is enthusiastic about creating a new anarhokomunistichesko society or society of free communism. The initiative starts in on the established throughout the country free schools without diskriminatsiiya penalties and launched with our anarchist educator and originator of free education and independent from the state capital and Catholic education Francisco Ferrer, shot in 1909 by the Spanish reaction. Featuring traditional universities created by anarchists, educators have turned them into cultural and revolutionary centers, numerous buildings and a network of communities of all sorts awakened to new life "lower strata" of the Spanish people. They are joined by many publishers of books, pamphlets and theoretical papers, magazines and periodicals, scores of newspapers. This is a rich heritage of several decades of anarchist education and struggles for social emancipation that began with the formation of the Spanish section of the First International, founded in early 70s of the nineteenth century by followers of Mikhail Bakunin.

A century of life CNT century is full of bloody strikes for more bread and freedom of strikes for rent (the rent to be determined according to the income of tenants), even strikes the establishment of normal conditions in which to give birth and raise children of the landless. In the hundred years of CNT build networks of solidarity and mutual assistance in slums and villages. Activists of the Confederacy organized opposition inside and outside prisons. In many prisons under their influence victims of the social system, called criminals become nuclei for future columns proletarian uprisings. They penetrate even in the remotest villages to carry the forbidden word or support self-education reading candle. And when the decisive hours of class war, they are those whose words flammable crowded streets and squares mobilize the masses to repel the preventive counterrevolution of Franchitti and become promoters of social transformations in industry, agriculture and distribution. These direct revolutionary united against the shares had risen chapter's anarchy in 1936-1939, the frightened by her contagious hitlerizam example, fascism, Stalinism, and "market democracies" of France and England. They en bloc supported Franco's victory, which preferred to the germs of a new world through the direct intervention of the Legion "Condor" and Hitler's aviation divisions of Mussolini, a professional killer of NKVD, disguised as counselors or hidden behind the screen of " Committee of non-interference "social democrats, conservatives and Stalinists.

The historical memory should always be connected with current events and real social problems of working people in the modern world. Therefore we are opposed to the funeral and memorial service memories that make historical memory in melancholy mood, which may be admirable, but are useless and harmful in the struggle for the future of mankind and are against the writings of the wretched "newsmen" who lead people and myself to reward stupidity and overwhelmed us with flat sensational, entertainment or criminal records.

Therefore, we believe that Centenary of CNT is an excellent opportunity to restore motivation prompted our ancestors to organize. It is why we ask what is today's sound of the slogan of which was established in 1864 or MAT First International (International Association of Labour): "the liberation of the workers must be made by themselves, otherwise it will not be ". This means that the emancipation of slaves hired may be the result only of their direct shares in the name of freedom and social equality without "leaders", "vanguard" or "elites" without intermediaries "MPs". As we go from zero to the sad position of the oppressed, humiliated and robbed, but the pride of the people without God, without a master and without a country, we consider that to us is to struggle won by his dream world of freedom, justice and solidarity between the peoples of five continents.

Along with this time showed that the coexistence of two positions in the CNT, the concept of anarchism and revolutionary syndicalism, with all intermediate range of numerous organizational initiatives and program proposals, create serious problems, but also encouraged them to live in harmony and cooperation. The events of yesterday and today in Spain and other countries, even civil war, police terror or internal battles showed that anarhosindikalizmat is not deprived of opportunities to re - either under the pressure of circumstances, or to correct revolutionary feeling. Therefore we do not lose hope that the ideological brotherhood and organizational coordination can facilitate detection and to help develop new forms and solutions for social and international revolutionary action.
