The document discusses the origins and goals of the 15M movement in Spain, also known as Los Indignad@s. It describes how the initial Democracia Real Ya campaign was started anonymously by different groups concerned about politics, economics, and social issues in Spain. The movement called for ordinary Spanish citizens to join together to build a better society and change Spain from a pseudo-democracy to a real democracy. It gained widespread support, with protests in 100 Spanish cities and 88% of Spaniards agreeing with its critiques of the political system.

3. The campaign was anonymous, Democracia Real Ya was nothing. It
was a conglomeration of blogs, different groups, some people that
came from the Ley Sinde or the Nolesvotes groups. Democracia Real
was a brand that did not have anyone behind it, they were no people
behind it.

4. We are ordinary people. We are like you: people, who get up every morning to
study, work or find a job, people who have family and friends. People, who
work hard every day to provide a better future for those around us.
Some of us consider ourselves progressive, others conservative. Some of us
are believers, some not. Some of us have clearly defined ideologies, others are
apolitical, but we are all concerned and angry about the political, economic,
and social outlook which we see around us: corruption among politicians,
businessmen, bankers, leaving us helpless, without a voice.
This situation has become normal, a daily suffering, without hope. But if we
join forces, we can change it. It’s time to change things, time to build a better
society together.

11. El poder de las palabras: glosario de términos del 15M
Another politics is possible
The revolution was in our hearts, now it flies in the streets
I'm not anti-system, the system is anti-me
This is not a crisis, I just don't love you anymore
We are not a commodity of bankers and politicians
