Anarchist Barcelona: The Spanish Civil War

"But outside Spain, few people know that the" Spanish Civil War "is actually a perfect social revolution for millions of workers and farmers. I will rebuild the Spanish society in a revolutionary way "(Dolgoff xii). During the Republic, the role of Spanish politics and anarchism in the newly started government repeated drama was widely commented. In this article we discuss the factors that make anarchism a successful political power in Spain, especially Barcelona, ​​and the power of NGOs and their unity in revolutionary Catalunya.

But one of my favorite 20th century Utopia society was Barcelona's anarchic occupation during the Spanish Civil War. Here, from the beginning of Franco's rule from 1936 to 1939 authority and class were interrupted, people called each other 'comrades' and anarchist rule. Without emotions, George Orwell fights for anarchists and respects Catalunya at his account. At the same time, utopia continues to gain inspiration from the imagination of novelists. In 1915, American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman announced her feminist utopia. In this ideal society, there are no men, women pay most attention to education. Women learned to breed through parthenogenesis - no need for men. In the first two years of life children are closely related to her real mother, but children are the responsibility of everyone. There is no war nor private property

Some of my family live and work in Catalunya. My grandmother came from Barcelona and fled to the Netherlands during the Spanish civil war when she married my Dutch grandfather. I currently have relatives in Spain and the Netherlands living in Catalonia. This area has been very close to 40 years in my life. I hope that Catalunya finds ways to maintain peace, sense of humor, and entrepreneurial spirit.

A part of the reason why the Spanish Civil War is very important on the left is that it may have proceeded in the opposite direction. There is an urban legend that leftist - Communists, anarchists, Trotsky - caused defeat of the Republic. ¡¡ It's not Pasaran! As regards this friendly fire, no one thinks this is decisive as compared with the air force of Germany and Italy or the arms embargo of the West. Their comrades studying in the Republic of Spain and overseas fought bravely, but the rebels were advantageous during the rebellion. Violence is its business

The Spanish Civil War: Republican war between 1936 and 1939, they are faithful to democracy, leaning inclined, the second Spain Republic of the opposite side, anarchists, nationalists, Farandist, Carlist and Franciscan Franc Conservative school aristocrat led by general Brother by. As a conservative and monarch, he opposed the abolition of the monarchy and the establishment of the Republic in 1931. In the 1936 election, the conservative Autonomous Right Wing Federation of Spain lost its momentum and lost, and the left wing 's People' s Front caught power. In order to overthrow the Republic, Franco followed another general in an attempt to start a failed coup leading to the Spanish Civil War. Along with the death of other generals, Franco soon became the sole leader of his faction. In 1947, he declared that Spain is a monarchy and himself regent.
