Repost of english translation:

Eighty eight years [to] the day Trotsky directed the suppression of the anarchist uprising in Krondstadt, a group of bandits scaled the walls of his former house in Mexico City during the late hours at night. We broke the lock on his mausoleum and we expropriate[d] the content[s] inside it: a silver large vase that bears the inscription of his name, wrapped in the red scarf that he carried around [his] neck, containing the ashes of the corpse inside. We replace[d] with care the lock in the monument with a reproduction that was similar in the appearance and escaped into the night.

The vase along with its content[s] then was taken far away to a place where the vase was discarded and the content[s] (a combination of ash and bone) were baked in cookies. These cookies then were sent, along with a letter that explains our actions, to newspapers, to organizations of Trotskyists, and to...groups of anarchists around the world.

While we will not repeat everything of our full letter, briefly we propose to give new light to the idea that history does not end with the past and still a small group of bandits can give new direction to fights thought long to be frozen in...time. We want to expand the fight to include dead objects of the past that hold [us] hostage...in the present.

Nevertheless, if Trotsky is right about the history, we do not determine anything, but we are only characters whose actions were written in the revolution of October. As was his destiny, coincidentally, to come to be a cookie.

The ones that receive these cookies have a decision. Through time, the act to consume enemies have been seen as a way to absorb their powers. On the other hand, consuming the body and the blood of the dead person as a sacrament have also been a form of worship. We would want to indicate that, at any rate, the result is always shit.

For those a little delicate, we have tried them, and although [they're] a little sandy, they are delicious. The green dots, by the way, they are just candies.
