About this Quote

This quote by Buenaventura Durruti speaks to the plain reality of the battle between the working class and the fascists. Durruti is stressing that there are only two possible results: triumph for the working class, which would bring flexibility, or success for the fascists, which would bring tyranny. He is making it clear that both sides understand the effects of their actions, and that the stakes are high. The quote is a call to action for the working class, prompting them to eliminate for their flexibility and not to accept the tyranny of fascism. It is likewise an alerting to the fascists that their victory would produce an extreme and oppressive program. Durruti's words are a pointer that the battle between the working class and the fascists is a battle for flexibility and justice, and that the outcome of this battle will identify the fate of the people.
