Making our history. Tribute to Maria Pacheco and resistance commoner in Toledo
History written by the victors, they say
The official history, imposed, says their version, the version of empires, kings, dictators, men.
is the story of those who oppress us, exploit us, discriminate against us, plunder our people, we repress, we execute. ... And also try to take our collective memory of people, imposing on how we live and how and What we must remember, as a basis for usurpation of a decent future for our people.
We have thus a duty not only to "make history" as an expression, as revolutionary practice to bring about social transformation, economic regime change in mode of production, political systems, it is necessary and possible, and more today in the context of economic, political, social, institutional, spanning the English State.
literally also must "make history", we must carry out the construction of our history, our references as a people, taking back all of our symbolic and material production, as an arena of struggle in the castle he built between and among all.
history we make each and all of us, and we're the ones who we know, pass, to build our memory as a condition for building the future. If we do not, the winners write history and one and only them ... helping to make the world even more of your property. It is not scholarly work, academicians, but a fundamental element of the revolutionary struggle, know, understand, the processes of domination, but also the history of resistance, including our particular history of rebellion from our specific reality for carry out our release, "meet us / as such" is indispensable. At the end of the day, we are not all identically oppressed or liberate us along identical paths.
Rise of the Communities is a key reference in the Castilian town is our first revolution, our first organization in the political, social, economic, political subject whose Castilla from a project that faces the people against the empire.
fundamental part of this historic event for the Castilian working people, we must mention the heroic resistance of Toledo and the role of women, which stresses the role that was the figure of Maria Pacheco, "the lion of Castile" .
After the harsh military defeat of the Communards Villalar the April 23, 1521, which brought jail, exile and death for many villagers in Toledo for several months, until February 1522, and Maria Pacheco at the helm, continued to resist the imperial army, continued to argue that "no one is more than anyone,"
"the people rule over the king," is common is the sun and wind, must be common land, "which is owned castilla, no one has to belong."
Without losing sight of the general, nor the internationalist perspective, we must search our own history, particular, specific, and rescue and honor our benchmarks of struggle and dignity that we all oppressed peoples.
Here begins a red thread, and red-black and purple, the history of Castile ...
It is certainly key to highlight the role it played Maria Pacheco, a rebellious woman, unbroken, in the sixteenth century .... It is necessary to rescue of exile and silence imposed by the end of his days, for the roar of "La Leona" resound through the villagers and the SXXI commoner.
In official history, the history of the victors, women have been one of the great excluded, deleted, silenced ... .. not only that women we omitted from history books, but mainly tried to we were left out at different times to those books tell us and we are reserved spaces are not classified as significant to the story.
not solve the problem take a few women's names and sprinkle with them the official story, this "add and remove" does not alter or written history, let alone the living.
For Maria Pacheco, when it appears named, often as the wife of Juan Padilla, the woman behind a great man, and explain that if it did what he did was for the blind love for her husband-relevant commoner-professed ... we are not going to think that took the foot of the pot, breaking the role as a woman is assigned under patriarchy, and its role the official story, should it occur, must be as a wife and love ... another "crazy" as Queen Juana.
We all wonder about Maria Pacheco, whose names have not come to our ears today, which with her part in the Rebellion of the Communities, those others who fought in the bread riots of SXIX or anti-fascist resistance of SXX in the Battalions communal civil war ....
We must reflect on the relevance of a woman in early 1500 in Castilla was a driving force behind the revolution and played a major role in it.
Like women, the oppressed, the dispossessed, the class worker, are excised from history, and whether "school" thing, will be from the hegemonic approach: capitalist, patriarchal, imperialist national oppression.
Through the figure of Maria Pacheco, we celebrate and reconstruct the history of women, of a people in opposition to the project of the Emperor Charles V, the legitimate right and practice in the rebellion against the impositions and bad governance, experiences of self-organization and struggle in Castilla .... know the history of those lionesses and lions should be in our collective memory of Castilian working people, and in fact, until today, is a benchmark that Comunera Rebellion and connects with the Spaniards.
Let our history!
