Valeriano Orobón Fernández, born on this day in 1901, was a Spanish anarcho-syndicalist theoretician, trade union activist, translator, and poet who wrote the lyrics of the revolutionary song “A Las Barricadas”.
Orobón believed in the organizational power of unions, believe that they would have a major role in reorganizing society in a more libertarian fashion. Orobón was also strongly opposed to the communist (i.e., Soviet) ideas in Spain during the Spanish Civil War.
Shortly before his untimely death from tuberculosis, Orobón wrote the words of “A Las Barricadas” to the tune of “Warszawianka 1905 roku”, itself a well-known Polish revolutionary song. The anti-fascist tune became the anthem of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT), and one of the most popular songs of the Spanish anarchists during the Civil War.

Theory:
I’m stuck in a horrible web of contradictions between not being intrinsically motivated, wanting to improve myself to improve my relationships, and being told “you shouldn’t change for other people it has to be for yourself!”
Like isn’t “wanting to have better relationships” a good motivator? I literally don’t care about myself lol
this advice ranges from atomized individualist dogshit, to meaning more specifically “you should not change for a single romantic partner (or otherwise singular important relationship in your life) (especially if you yourself don’t agree with the changes)”
fuck yeah it is, gets my seal of approval
