On this day, 14 July 1896, legendary Spanish anarchist and civil war fighter Buenaventura Durruti was born. In an interview during the war he told the journalist: “We are going to inherit the earth . There is not the slightest doubt about that. The bourgeoisie may blast and burn its own world before it finally leaves the stage of history. We are not afraid of ruins. We who ploughed the prairies and built the cities can build again, only better next time. We carry a new world, here in our hearts. That world is growing this minute.”
