Andalusia, by its method, is the integrity that perceives the individual as a complete world ordered to the creative world. Europe is the individual for the masses. Andalusia, the individual for Humanity.
Europe is territorial and industrial feudalism, Andalusia, the libertarian individualism that feels human, evolutionary communism, the only indestructible communism because it is natural, the one that all miracle workers yearned for; the one that has a soul in the aspiration that each individual reaches within himself to intensify, to create for himself, but not for himself, but to give it to others.
That only possible communism that cannot be created by machine artifice, but by joy and by the spirit that joy comes to create. Europe is the megalomaniac, rabidly utilitarian dominating package. Andalusia is, as I don’t know who said, like its humble-looking houses, with patios, gardens centered by fountains; Simplicity on the outside; illumination on the inside.”
