I wish to say that we Anarchists have never changed our position. We are Anarchists as of old and still pursue the same ideals.

Our constancy, same might call it our madness, was necessary to wear down the oppressive forces of the old democracy which, in Spain, was a hundred years behind the times.

Never will the Anarchists in Spain be made to suffer as they have been and are in Russia.

We need no messiah and no sterile conception of a god menacing us with hell and purgatory.

The people themselves, and only the people, determine the rhythm of our fight.

Authority is something from which we are constantly subtracting, of which there remains always a residue, and which we attempt to make smaller and smaller.

The love of liberty and the sense of human dignity are the basic elements of the Anarchist creed.
