This is a great documentary on the Zapatistas and their stand against NAFTA and neo-liberal policies in the 1990′s in Chiapas, Mexico.

I suppose the most revolutionary act one can engage in is ... to tell the truth.

We here at Direct Threat highly recommend watching the documentary, “Ethel MacDonald; An Anarchist’s Story”. It is the story of Scottish anarchist Ethel MacDonald and her work with the CNTs anarchist radio show during the Spanish Civil War. MacDonald also helped many anarchists that were being hunted by the Communist Secret Police escape from Spain. She also frequently smuggled letters and food to the anarchists who were imprisoned. 

We believe her story to be a very important one, not just for anarchists, but for all leftist radicals alike. She is a hero and her life should be celebrated as such.

The truth, indeed, is out—but the ears to hear it and the minds to learn from it seem to have been atrophied by a cultivated ignorance and a nearly total loss of critical insight.

Men passionately desire to live after death, but they often pass away without noticing the fact that the memory of a really good person always lives. It is impressed upon the next generation, and is transmitted again to the children. Is that not an immortality worth striving for?~ Peter Kropotkin
