REST IN POWER, @ COMRADE
To Memodio (1982-2024)
From Ramalc - Red Antimilitarista de América Latina y el Caribe
December 4, 2024
We celebrate having known him, the shared struggles, the seeds planted. We celebrate the coherence and consistency of which he always gave an example without any pretentiousness. The clarity of his words and that unmatched sense of corrosive humor towards everything that was power and militarism (which are often the same thing). He was a vegan when it was not fashionable, an anarchist, an antimilitarist, conscientious objector, insubordinate, and fruitarian. He was a tireless fanziner. In all these facets he was known and recognized for the commitment and heart he put into each struggle.
In particular, he contributed to the development of the antimilitarist culture that abounds in the Chilean region, despite the fact that the militarist power always denies and hides it, actively participating in the antimilitarist and conscientious objector organization Ni Casco Ni Uniforme, among other spaces. Like Memodio before, people today do not attend the “calls” to the SMO.
His fanzine work is abundant: Buena Influencia, Nueve Vidas, and his Distro of (A) and punk material: Buena Influencia, as well as the distro / distributor of HC / Punk material called Siempre Juntos, among other initiatives that he carried out. His animal and vegan struggle is remarkable and we must emphasize his fruitarian militancy because he described himself that way. "Hateful but also loving too," a friend described him. We say this from the struggles, commitments, and projects we share, both as friends and comrades.
For all this we celebrate having known him and if we write this is because we believe that his life should be known for everything he contributed to so many struggles and to our lives. To Memodio (Guillermo Díaz) from our heart and struggle.
Memodio, Guillermo Díaz March 10, 1982 in Maipú - November 16, 2024 Maipú
Written collectively by those of us who value having known Memodio, friends and comrades. Also from the antimilitarist assembly of the Chilean region, part of the antimilitarist network of Latin America and the Caribbean Ramalc.
