About Daorde
Daorde means companion in cabaqueiro jargon. We are a collective publication carrying that word—from craft, migration, and mutual support—into the analysis of technological power.
A name for companions
Daorde means companion in cabaqueiro, the jargon of Baixo Miño tile workers who migrated seasonally to Castile to earn their living. We chose it because this publication does not speak through a personal brand: it speaks through shared work, working-class memory, and solidarity among equals.
Tiles for everyone, money for no one
In that jargon, cabacas means roof tiles and lerxes means money. The motto claims what is produced for common life against private accumulation: knowledge, infrastructure, and technical capacity for everyone; rents, monopolies, and extraction for no one.
What Daorde is
Daorde is an independent publication of Marxist analysis about technology, current affairs, and class struggle. We publish to understand who designs infrastructure, who owns it, who works within it, and what alternatives can be built from below.
Why we exist
Technology is often presented as neutral and inevitable. We treat it as a material relation: capital, labor, energy, territory, administration, and power. We exist to make that structure visible and open debate about how to transform it.
Editorial line
We publish articles, investigations, and essays about cybersecurity, surveillance, artificial intelligence, infrastructure, data, digital labor, free software, and technological conflict. We prioritize long-form reading, verifiable sources, public correction of errors, and an explicit anticapitalist position.
Technology and class
Technology is not only code: it is social organization, division of labor, and class struggle. We study the material relations that sustain it in order to build alternatives from below and to the left.
Anonymity and collective work
We write collectively and anonymously. Protecting our identity is a political practice that lets us operate freely against repression, harassment, and the commodification of dissent.
Languages and access
We publish in Galician, Spanish, and English to support access and cultural autonomy. All content is open access under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
