A-Infos (en) Brazil, UAF: The Free Book is Born: An Anarchist Resistance Point in Southern Espírito Santo (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

The city of Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, birthplace of a culture often 
imprisoned by the elites, gains a breath of freedom and resistance. The 
Anarchist Federalist Union (UAF), in partnership with the Capixaba 
Anarchist Federation (FACA), launches the Free Book project: a physical 
book exchange point based on the purest principle of mutual aid. Here, 
there is no currency, no boss, no turnstile. Leave a book, take another. 
It is a simple act, but profoundly subversive in a world that tries to 
commodify every aspect of our lives and knowledge.

This space is more than a bookshelf; it is a territorial landmark of 
libertarian culture in the city. It is an invitation for the working 
class, students, artists, and all nonconformists to occupy this piece of 
the city with ideas that the system wants to see forgotten. By 
circulating books on anarchism, anti-capitalism, feminism, social 
ecology, and history from below, we are building the ideological 
trenches of our struggle. Each book taken is a seed planted; each book 
donated is a brick in the wall of popular resistance.

It operates on solidarity and trust, values that capitalism tries to 
destroy daily. If you have books gathering dust at home, bring them so 
they can gain new life in the hands of other fighters. If you seek 
knowledge to understand the world and transform it, come and get them. 
This is not about charity, but about collective responsibility for the 
education of our class. The Free Book project lives by the community and 
for the community, being a practical exercise in self-management and 
horizontality, showing that we can organize our culture and our 
education without waiting for permission from the State or businessmen.

Therefore, we call upon all residents of Cachoeiro and the region: come 
and see, participate, donate, take, spread the word. Support this 
initiative that warms our hearts and minds for the battle of ideas. The 
future we want to build, without exploitation and without oppression, 
also involves gestures like this. The Free Book is ours, it belongs to 
those who make it happen. Occupy culture, free yourself! Long live the 
UAF! Long live the FACA! For mutual aid and social revolution!
