Return to Conscientious Objection: A Practical Companion for Movements
Alternativa Anitmilitarista Movimiento Objeción de Conciencia (AA.MOC or Anitmilitarist Alternative Conscientious Objection Movement) are a Spanish movement which arose out of the Spanish experience of conscription and resistance in the form of Insumisión, loosely translateable as insubordination or disobedience. Members have written about the transition to the post-conscription era in Spain, and the challenges faced by antimilitarists in this transition.
'The past can't be accessed by merely remembering: it must be constructed, and this is a collective task. Our interpretations of the events through which we live will construct their history.'
Ana M. Fernández
For Alternativa Antimilitarista.MOC (AA.MOC), writing about the terrain which opened up before us after conscription means analysing the Spanish Insumisión campaign – the campaign of civil disobedience and total objection to military service – and stirring up many diverse experiences, emotions, sorrows and joys.
