Welcome to the Resistance.
When I was 13 years old, my life took a dramatic turn. Growing up, I was a rebellious kid—constantly running away and getting mixed up with the wrong crowd. The state eventually gave my mother an ultimatum: lock me up until I turned 18 or send me to live with my father in Madrid, Spain. She chose the latter, and I found myself in a foreign country, trying to adjust to a new life.
But Madrid wasn’t a fresh start; it was a trial by fire. One day, I was ruthlessly attacked by a gang of neo-Nazi skinheads for being a foreigner. Their hatred and violence left a mark, not just on my body but on my soul. It was in that moment that I made a vow—a vow to fight back against fascism in all its forms. And I’ve never looked back.
By the time I turned 18, I had become a target for the far right. My name appeared on the front page of El País, Madrid’s premier newspaper, after being exposed as a target on a hit list by Bases Autónomas, the largest and most ultra-violent neo-Nazi organization in Spain. My primary adversary during this time was El Mallorquín, a notorious skinhead leader who is now serving a life sentence for murder. I fought fascism in the streets for years, but as I grew older, I realized there were more productive and impactful ways to carry on this fight. That’s where TLB.Army comes in.
Our Agenda and Mission
The Lincoln Brigade—a name inspired by the brave volunteers who fought fascism in Spain during the Spanish Civil War—is a hub dedicated to combating fascism and oppressive forces wherever they arise. This platform exists to educate, organize, and inform, empowering individuals to stand against hate and bigotry.
What We Stand For:
- Education: Fascism thrives in ignorance. Through articles, resources, and historical context, we aim to shine a light on the roots of fascism, its modern manifestations, and how we can resist it effectively.
- Organization: Change doesn’t happen in isolation. TLB.Army provides tools and strategies for collective action, helping individuals and groups come together to stand against oppressive systems.
- Information: Knowledge is power. Whether it’s exposing hate groups, highlighting systemic injustices, or sharing stories of resistance, TLB.Army is committed to keeping you informed.
- Advocacy: Beyond education and organization, we actively advocate for policies and initiatives that promote equality, justice, and human rights.
Join the Fight
Fascism and oppression are not relics of the past; they are ongoing threats that require vigilance and action. TLB.Army is more than a website; it’s a community. Whether you’re a seasoned activist or just beginning to learn about these issues, there’s a place for you here. Together, we can fight back against hate and work toward a future built on equality, understanding, and solidarity.
My story may have begun with a violent encounter in Madrid, but it’s far from over. TLB.Army is the next chapter—a platform where we document, educate, and organize to ensure that fascism has no place in our world. Welcome to the fight.
