Barcelona's Anarchist Bookfair has reached it's seventh year. What will the future bring us, or shoot at us? It has been said that we live in time of crisis and uncertainty. Some announce the end of the world in the coming year, collapse, the birth of a new era. The promise of freedom and the pleasure of the revolt, or a renewed global dictatorship?
We hold the belief that any change that we do not actively participate in, will, of course, be to our detriment. Power is the enemy of freedom and it is armed with new tools of domination, it evolves and is creating new conditions that will chain us even more. Anarchists, like any aware human being, can sense the oppression that the powerful are planning for our future. So, let us then analyze those strategies that they are creating in the shadows, the shadows that only exists because of a blinding light the mass media projects.
Like a black cat that is used to the darkness, we have learned to see clearly that which they wish to hide from us. We are sharpening our claws, through debate, thought, critique, and knowledge. Ready to pounce. The Bookfair invites you to participate in the end of the old world, from the 27th of June to the 3rd of July, 2011.
And in the coming year... we will return with more force than ever!
