If you order from an indie artist in the US, THIS is the bullshit we are currently dealing with. Your package may come late, or may need to be resent. But we are doing our best, please understand we’re dealing with things out of our control right now.
On this day, 5 August 1936, Spanish railway worker, anti-fascist military leader and anarchist Buenaventura Durruti gave his famous “new world in our hearts” interview shortly after the outbreak of the civil war with journalist Pierre Van Passen. This is the quote in full: “We have always lived in slums and holes in the wall. We will know how to accommodate ourselves for a while. For you must not forget that we can also build. It is we who built these palaces and cities, here in Spain and America and everywhere. We, the workers. We can build others to take their place. And better ones. We are not in the least afraid of ruins. We are going to inherit the earth; there is not the slightest doubt about that. The bourgeoisie might blast and ruin its own world before it leaves the stage of history. We carry a new world here, in our hearts. That world is growing in this minute.”
