      Even in Italy, the State always arms & organizes fascists.

      Do you think we can “grassroots” our means to counter state power?

          Because Spaniards already had “communidad.” If your neighborhood isn’t intersecting and solidifying everywhere, it won’t be able to organize against the state’s power to oppress, divide, and conquer. Your organization needs to be against the state in the first place, for the zeitgeist to overwhelm state sanctioned power.
