"Across Europe, there is new life in the streets. Across France, students are in revolt against a state that has abandoned them. Recently, this revolt has spread to Belgium, and there are early signs of it in Italy—now [Albania’s education ministry has caught fire], and it may go further still.
To break out of the pincer movement in which the progressive government and the CCOO and UGT have trapped us here in Spain, we must ensure that upcoming mobilizations, especially the general strike in November, do not turn out the way they want them to. The streets must not fall in line behind any government. Both our demands and our forms of action must outflank all of these actors from the left, placing them once again in an untenable position. We need to become unacceptable to the institutional left within the state apparatus once more. Otherwise, the window for mobilization that has opened up could close far too soon. The general strike must not become the end of this story, but only one additional chapter, one which we here must struggle to leap past and continue to push beyond."
