Therapy, yeah. Meanwhile, back to a regular anarchist, one I like, who doesn't become a fascist. Sure. There's a blacksmith named Umberto, I promise you another Umberto, Tomasini. Umberto got involved in politics when he was 13. He joined the 1909 general strike in response to the murder of the Spanish anarchist educator and veteran of the pod, Francisco Farrar.
He went on to fight in World War I. He won a cross for valor. But according to his own take, what happened is he got to the war because he was conscripted and he just shot into the air and he was like trying not to kill anyone.

go shoot that dot on the horizon. Whereas like, if someone's like running through a trench trying to kill me, I'm like, I'm going to shoot that man. Even if we have the same political ideology, if someone's trying to kill me, I just don't want to get shot. Yeah. But yeah, no, totally.

And he spent some time as a POW during the war, and then he returned home to return to work as a blacksmith, and he more formally committed to anarchism alongside his brothers who, like everyone else, they left the Socialist Party in 1921 after the Socialists sold out the movement. Again, I don't know as much about that, but that is what Umberto felt and his brothers felt.

Umberto's life could easily be his own episode. He helped get the bombs from one Geno to the other Geno in 1926, then spent six years in prison during the crackdown. Like, after Mussolini came to power, he sent a whole bunch of the anarchists to prison, right?

During those six years, he met an anarchist in prison named Mario Buda. Then Umberto fled Italy on foot to Yugoslavia. Then he went to Paris, where he met his partner Anna and had his son Rene. In 1936, Spain was under attack, and so Umberto left the then-safety of Paris to go to the front lines, teaching anarchists about trench warfare.

And then he became an anarchist spec ops guy, and he went off to go mine Francoist ships. Oh, cool.

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And he shouldn't have been friends with that guy. He was arrested by Stalinists and prevented from attacking the fascists while he was off to go mine these ships. He broke out of Stalinist prison and then he returned back to the prison he had just broken out of alongside anarchists from the government to negotiate everyone's release.
