"the distant steps"
By Cesar Vallejo
my father sleeps. his august frontispiece
portrays a gentle heart;
it is now so placid...
if there's something bitter, should be me.
.
there is solitude in our home; we pray;
there is no buzz today to share.
my father awakes, as it resounds
the Egypt's gap, the farewell with no meaning.
.
now it is so close;
if there's something far on, should be me.
then my mother walks beyond the gardens,
enjoying this feel now already disenchanted.
she is so delicate,
fluid, brief and beloved.
the solitude in our home has no riots,
no news, no flora, without child roots.
and if something is broken at afternoon
which bends and breaks
are those two leaned old folks.
for them my heart still stands.

Spanish Civil War, an Interview With Paul Preston
In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Spanish Civil War Joe Mulhall interviewed the eminent historian Paul Preston to discuss the causes and the course of the civil war. They touch upon the war vs revolution debate (including Orwell's true opinion of the POUM tactics), the real origins of Picasso's painting Guernica, and the gains made by the republic.
This is a part of a series of antifascist history podcasts which began with an earlier interview with David Renton about his research into the Anti-Nazi League.
The Spanish Civil War Part 4: Your Children Will Be Next
Franco smashes the already exhausted Republicans as the Nationalists drive towards the sea, splitting the Republic in half. Hitler continues to grab land and expand his borders while the Nazi holocaust begins to take shape. While Britain, France and the US continue to appease fascism, the Republic makes a final, desperate attack in hope of spurring the great powers to action.The Movements is a leftist history and politics podcast.
