Memory and combat: reproducible and contagious. 
In a few days will be a year since that cold morning in the heart of peers ro Mauri stopped beating. The blood that it was frozen to muchxs us from the minute boil.
It's hard to watch and discuss with "distance" everything that has happened since then. Perhaps the very vortex of the social war, which in particular pulse has many comrades dodging the enemy's hands, day after day, battle after battle. Perhaps also because the "distance" implies a calmness and peace that is rarely matched by the death of a friend, a brother, a companion.
No, our memories, our analysis current scenario does not even invoke the peace and quiet, it does not come often. Because the absence is large and deep wound. All the comrades who have lost unx comrade in the heat of battle will understand what we speak, unfortunately not propose anything new.
The years of struggle are also the years of tragedy, exploits, battles, defeats and victories. How to overcome the injuries that nonetheless remains a huge uncertainty and nosotrxs continue our search for that answer.
still bleeding hearts are a reflection of that material raised many times: the struggle against power is not abstract, is carried out by comrades of the flesh (sorry about the fragility of life and fortunately for features that people living attached to it).
Ideas, control and offensive positions do not die (that's the pawn) but those who wield itself and the tragedy (for those who feel it) can not be analyzed from abstraction of statistics.
memory bleeds for the loss of teammate and beats us an urgent need to defend his memory, to lend a helping hand to those who are his close and who understand and dimensioned destruction after death . Destruction of tranquility project affects, relationships. When a partner dies fighting in an illegal action, the scene of battle changed inexorably for those who survive him.
The scenario changes because it changes not the enemy, with a thousand different faces remains the same: power, exploitation, domination and the principle of authority. The situations are changed because the environment becomes, the police presence / permanent civil and crude (not to mention his clumsy and obvious movements), cameras, floodlights, surveillance, control, raids, shootings and an intimacy that is well in moments like the glass house.
That was / is our daily life, but any discomfort is equated with knowing that our brother is not progressing steadily in this life, and therefore we seek answers stories recompose and nurture us smile.
And then go looking, it is clear that Mauri is much more than the actions that lost his life that we have no doubt. It comes down to these minutes as it passes through this world, but we can not ignore or abstract from how he looked in the face of death.
Mauri is much more direct action, but it is undeniable that it was merged with his life. If you do not understand the balance to be maintained, that the action not opaque life partner and that turn aside the action, not ever understand the reasons that lead someone to risk their lives and their existence in the fight for his beliefs. Appealing to the balance on this issue is all projection will to fight.
Almost a year after seeing his photo in the news, a year to keep the tears in their pockets to deal with Hurricane police dignity that we came up, we can not get excited unless. Close your eyes and feel again the cries of comrades sending support, the smell of bonfires and police sirens echoing into infinity. Heaviness in the chest to face that grim time.
The hunt was unleashed in retaliation, we knew, there was no surprise, but never expect diversxs tantxs and comrades would come to show solidarity, we understand that as an act of greeting to Mauri, such as of honor while spitting insults and Internet media was filled with rubbish.
International responses were happening one after another in a succession of varied actions seeking to overwhelm the present authority and Mauri in any process of struggle, not as an icon but as a companion, one more, that despite of not being physically present, the memory of all the comrades what remains as present as forever.
Propaganda, direct action, forums, events, publications, many have welcomed his whole life, muchxs recalled how he met his death. This internationalist response gives us strength and excited at the same time encourages us to strengthen ties to make them strong as a lion's claw, because the collective struggle against the need to decentralize power to the conflict, reproduction and transmission.
Destroy forgetting, remembering lives, fighting and dying is also our own daily struggles. Memory is not only important emotional and emotionally, but it is the essence that gives historical continuity to the combat carried out by rebels disgruntled tantxs over centuries of exploitation. Therefore remember becomes a revolutionary act only when it leads intrinsic desire to continue the offensive in all its forms, and this year it is granted memory informally projection direction and the struggle that we carry.
Punky Mauri, cute little brother, we are proud to open rebellion, glad to have crossed our paths, missing you and thinking to see your face in the crowd. Fill your memory of warrior honor against all authority.
Our journey continues with incandescent fire, with flames that you liked those arrived to infinity.
miss you a lot.
