biography
As the son and grandson of anarchists , Miguel Amorós also became an anarchist in 1968 under the Franco dictatorship . During the 1970s he helped found several anarchist groups such as B. Bandera Negra (Black Flag), Tierra Libre (Free Earth), Barricada and Los Incontrolados . He experienced the Francoist prison and was forced to look for France to exile.
Miguel Amoró's anarchism is shaped by self-government , subversion and everyday life, by the history of the workers 'councils , as well as by mobilizations that denounce syndicalism as an outdated form of struggle and workers' morality as reactionary . He is close to the situationist ideas. He also met Guy Debord several times in the early 1980s . In 1980 they circulated the appeal from Ségovie prison , where Debord had written one of the texts ( To the Libertarians ).
Between 1984 and 1992, Miguel Amorós helped edit the post-Situationist magazine Encyclopédie des nuisances .
He wrote many articles for the libertarian press. He also gave conferences on social issues, especially on the ideology of progress and the damage for which it is responsible. His most important works are La Revolución traicionada: La verdadera historia de Balius y Los Amigos de Durruti ( The Revolution Betrayed: The True Story of Balius and the Friends of Durruti , not available in German) and Durruti en el laberinto ( Durruti in the labyrinth , on German not available).
In 2009 he published a biography of the Spanish anarchist José Pellicer , founder of the famous iron column during the Spanish Revolution in 1936.
