V/A - Guerra al patriarcado. Guerra a la tecnología asesina (ES)

Feminism and radical anti-development environmentalism are two struggles that are not usually seen together. After becoming accustomed to reading openly transphobic and misogynistic comments in fanzines and anti-technology publications, and the recurring use of the term "leftism" to describe the struggles for LGBT liberation and feminism, and hearing pro-technologization discourses from all feminist circles (mainly regarding access to or termination of birth) without the slightest critique of its consequences, stumbling upon this compilation was a great and enthusiastic surprise.

After becoming involved in Indigenous struggles to defend their land and participating in the Canadian punk scene, the members of Acción Directa and the Wimmin's Fire Brigade (which we translate here as "Brigada de las Mujeres Incendiarias," or "Brigade of the Incendiary Women") demonstrated in the 1980s that defending the land and fighting patriarchy can go hand in hand, that each supports the other. Furthermore, they demonstrated this by practicing radical and violent direct action against those companies and institutions that promote environmental destruction and patriarchal oppression. This experience, which has been scarcely documented in Spanish to this day, concerns one of the most active anarchist armed groups in our recent history, and one that developed tremendously impactful, innovative, and entirely relevant lines of argument.

Far from seeking to promote the spectacle of the armed struggle of the 1970s and fuel sterile scholarship, we hope with this edition to convey the idea that the fight against heteropatriarchy and its alliances also involves fiercely protecting our Mother Earth from the recurring aggressions she suffers, and that connecting with our ancestral femininity is, in turn, a further step in her defense.
