This page is set up to test translations so that within MAMAS we can explore translation options. It’s not public-facing, but it has to be public for us to test it. So if you’re reading this and you’re not already involved in MAMAS, congratulations on finding this page, but nothing here is about how MAMAS actually works.

Getting Started
Join us on Slack to keep up to date with the different working groups and what we’ve got cooking! Slack is the messaging website we use to communicate and coordinate projects. Channels used by each working group are listed in each section below.
How to use MAMAS Slack:
- Join here
- Go to the #read-this-first channel for some basics
- Say hi and introduce yourself in #welcome-and-intros
- Join channels like #calls-to-action, #rapid-response, #questions-and-feedback, #general, plus any working group channels you’re interested in. (Relevant channels are bolded below). Questions? Post away in the questions channel! We love helping each other.
Working Groups
What is a working group? Working Groups are small teams within MAMAS that meet regularly to work on projects, like the free store, grocery delivery, and more! Scroll down for a list of working groups, their next meeting/event, and how to get involved.
Didn’t find what you’re looking for? If there’s not an existing working group for something you’re specifically interested in, check out the MAMAS vision + agreements. If it sounds like we’d be a good match, you can propose a new group!

La primera de las objeciones que se hace al socialismo en nombre del darvinismo, carece en absoluto de fundamento. Si fuera cierto que el socialismo aspira á la igualdad de todos los hombres, nada más exacto que su condenación irrevocable por el darvinismo[1]; pero aun cuando todavía por muchos —de buena fe, como fonógrafos que repiten frases hechas, ó de mala fe, por habilidad de polémica— se sostenga que el socialismo sea sinónimo de igualdad y de nivelación; la verdad es, por lo contrario, que el socialismo científico, es decir, el que se inspira en la teoría de Marx y el único al presente que merece defenderse ó impugnarse—no niega en modo alguno por completo la desigualdad innata y adquirida, física y moral de los hombres, como la de todos los seres vivos[2]; sería como decir que el socialismo pretende, por ejemplo, que por decreto del rey ó del pueblo se disponga: «De aquí en adelante todos los hombres tendrán 1’70 metros de estatura…» No, el socialismo es algo más serio y menos fácil de refutar.
