"Without God, nor love, nor patterns ..."
Three years ago the revolution triumphed three years ago to stop running our blood on the battlefields, three years ago do not let them pass and pass us. I'm Noel León, Santillana Melchor used to call me, I used to write also because three years ago that all changed our names that we felt like it. Since there are no lineages and family lines, at age 18 you choose your first and last name but you can change as you please, at last here we all know who is who. It is not mandatory to change the name, in case anyone wants to continue a tradition holds to keep the "name" the father, mother or any other person residing in the village. I chose the name because Noel Leon barricades often nicknamed the Lion, and called me by my nuts I decided to keep hair uncut until everything was over, as the palindrome Noel de Leon, Noel Leon, a name perfectly symmetrical, consistent and which is not only my name is my identity so I can not call Noel Leon, I am Noel Leon. My wife is Lola Mento, formerly called Dolores Barcenas, the town simply known as Lola, I say "my precious pun, have three children: Patxi, Estíbaliz, and Patxi Edurne still called, and Edurne Estibaliz respectively, Patxi has seventeen, fifteen and Edurne Estíbaliz only be two. During the war they stayed in the town caring for her mother, who cared for all people and all commoner militia as good ..
Patxi soon elect its name, does not have "name", the children have no "name", to identify them acquire the "de" plus the name of the mother or father if they are orphans the first, if they are orphaned by both sides add the names of both parents closed cases and not knowing if the source is added to the "name" of Buenaventura. My children are Patxi, Edurne Estíbaliz and Lola. Patxi Mezlernejo assists in the Humanities from our village, the learning history, sociology, philosophy, economics, Anarchist Theory, Socialism, Esperanto as well as language curriculum also has the option of studying in English, French, German, Nahuatl, Euskera and Catalan in Buenaventura Villa Community Center, where immigrants provide teaching their native languages, about 30% of the population the town is not the Castilian language, most foreign volunteers who fought our war and completed the feat decided to settle here. Mezlernejo education is an education based libertarian theories of teacher Ferrer, the boys form a self-internationalist doctrine held in the freethinking and the birthright to think and express a thought, independent moral in which the teacher is just a guide, not an authority figure. Complementary to formal education, the boys of the village have to learn farming techniques and a job as community input, in Mezlernejo classes begin at ten in the morning and finish at two pm, Monday through Friday right there is four to six learn a skill, you can learn to be biblitecario, carpenter, plumber, electrician, mechanic, blacksmith, ecoalbañil, reforested or apothecary, all members of this village we have three duties: to respect others, to sow land and also our business to know a trade to be productive members to the community. On Saturday, while the adults figured, sow, harvest or irrigate depending on the time of year, young people go to community field of practice, where they learn the most important thing about planting and care of natural resources, assisted by Nathan Evans an ex-farmer ex-American who is in charge of sustainable production and clean, he and his comrades are responsible for advising us on our crops for self-consumption and community fields, we have about 500 acres arable Community, which together with The 50 square meters garden with all Buenaventura houses and 100 acres of wild fruit growing in the surrounding forests are as 1500 hectares result, each year are able to produce enough food for a population of about 7,000 inhabitants, the excess usually have annual production is exported to allies in exchange for machinery, mainly tractors, surgical equipment, medicines, chemicals, infrastructure telecommunications, light bulbs, steel, clothing, solar panels and appliances. Our short term goal is to solve our own industries, we have the people but we still need money, need to fall as she finishes the capitalist empire.
