Anarchism, I think,
appeared very innocently. 
When the workers in Llobregat become
enlightened, learning to read and write, 
and abandon barter, and start using
currency in dealings with one another,
social demands are made.
The fact that they live in settlements
together inspires solidarity.
Because they spend so many hours
together, leisure time, too.
That's where the gathers,
the Aplecs and Sardanas come from. 
On Sundays, all the workers
went on excursions. 
To the mountain to sing, dance, cook, eat.
Children played. All of this created solidarity.
And when the employers wouldn't bend,
anarchism began bubbling to the surface.
This atmosphere of solidarity, naturism and
fraternity, it's very nascent, starting 1845 or 1848.
They can't be considered anarchists.
More, utopian socialists.
They are a brotherhood,
a brotherhood committed to enlightenment. 
Many European anarchists--Bakunin,
Kropotkin--were here already.
And there were in Catalonia specifically,
because they saw it as a place predisposed,
Many cooperatives had been set up. It's precisely
the result of those industrial cooperatives.
