Our Daily Bleed...
Spain 1977: The anti-crats (or acratas) disrupt political meetings every weekend, in Madrid & all the major centers.
Agustin Garcia Calvo formed Acratas in 1967 at a Madrid University, influenced by new protest movement amongst students abroad.Anarchist rather than Marxist, they are against all authority, & protest by asserting their right to have fun by ridiculing the ideas & individuals & groups they despise.
They are the a plague upon the Spanish politics-as-usual-left-&-right scene.
"It is easy to recognize throughout the world the new tone with which a radical critique is pronouncing its declaration of war on the old society — from the graffiti on the walls of England and Italy to the extremist Mexican group Caos, which during the summer of 1968 called for the sabotage of the Olympics and of “the society of spectacular consumption”; from the acts and publications of the Acratas in Madrid to the shout of a Wall Street demonstration (AFP, April 12), “Stop the Show,” in that American society whose “decline and fall” we already pointed out in 1965 and whose very officials now admit that it is “a sick society.” " "The Beginning of an Era", Translated by Ken Knabb (slightly modified from the version in the Situationist International Anthology)
