 "Controversy: Anarchists in the Spanish Revolution", by Sam Dolgoff
Anarchists desperately searching for a practical anarchist alternative to governmental participation cite the example of the heroic exploits of the Nestor Makhno anarchist guerrilla movement in the Ukraine during the Russian Revolution as an example to be followed by the CNT-FAI.
Peirats, in an interview with John Brademas (12 September 1952) informed him that the decision to join the "Generalidad" government was adopted by a vast majority vote in the Plenum of Local and District Federations.
In its report to the Extraordinary Congress of the International Workers' Association (IWA-anarchosyndicalist), the National Committee of the CNT refuted charges that the National Committee violated anarchist federalist principles by imposing its own decisions on the rank-and-file local and regional organizations.

 International Socialist Review
After the November elections, the largest number of seats in the Cortes was held by members of the Confederación Española de Derechas Autónomas (CEDA), a confederation of industrialists, monarchists, and admirers of Mussolini and Dolfuss, led by José María Gil Robles.
In the aftermath of the civil war, few anarchists support the CNT& decision to enter the government.
The CNT-FAI’s decision to join a government, and a capitalist government no less, was a complete betrayal of the stated aims of anarchism and utterly compromised the anarchists.

 Marxists and Spanish Anarchism
Moreover, the decision to disaffiliate from the Comintern was made by a confederal meeting of mandated delegates representing the rank-and-file as was the original.
This had been the work of the Generalitat's counsellor for public order, Josep Dencas, leader of the quasi-fascist, ultra-nationalist party Estat Catala." [ The Coming of the Spanish Civil War, p.
Once we have done this we will discuss the politics of that decision.

 The Anarcho-Statists of Spain
This had its seat at Fraga, and thence exercised supreme power over the whole of revolutionary Aragon."[71] The Anarchists angered the other Republican factions by excluding them from the Council of Aragon, but there was little they could do.
'Everybody created his own justice and administered it himself,' declared Juan Garcia Oliver, a leading Anarchist who became minister of justice in November 1936.
This was no principled rejection, however; the Anarchist put forward a compromise resolution according to which "'auxiliary commissions' were to be set up in each ministry comprising two representatives of the CNT, two of the UGT, two of the Popular Front parties, and one government delegate.

 Voluntaryism In The European Anarchist Tradition
The important point about the Spanish Civil War is that for the first and only time in modern political history there were anarchist ministers serving in both provincial and federal cabinets.
Though Emma Goldman aided the Spanish anarchist movement during the Spanish Civil War, as her statements make clear, she disagreed with their participation in the Republican government.
The four anarchist ministers had done little to strengthen the position of the anarchist movement during their time in office and had irreparably injured anarchist ideas.

 Scotsman.com News - Top Stories - Kill Franco: the day of the Tartan kamikaze
Following appeals for clemency from the British consul, the Spanish government showed mercy and commuted Christie’s death sentence to 20 years, of which he served just three-and-a-half, perhaps due to numerous pleading letters from his mother and the support from Jean-Paul Satre, Bertrand Russell and Malcolm Muggeridge.
He was sentenced to death and spent several agonising days believing his life was shortly to end in a grotesque manner.
Now the Partick-born firebrand - who 40 years on still claims to be an anarchist - tells the full, extraordinary story in his autobiography.

The decisions were not made by majority vote, but somebody - usually one of the elected delegates - interpreted the general consensus of opinion, which was accepted as binding.
This village remained the Front until the end of the Civil War, until the military collapse of the Republican forces in 1938.
They did not succeed in taking it; much later it was taken and completely destroyed by the Republican Army.

 Beware, Spanish anarchists danger for your revolution
Article which appeared in 'Guerra di Class' No. 4, 5th November, 1936.
Three great things which merit every sacrifice and impose on each the duty to have the courage to state his own beliefs in their entirety.
The Civil War in Spain being an international conflict, it is on international ground that we must pose the problem of revolutionary action in terms of war, it is at its weak points: Morocco and Portugal that we must cruelly wound Spanish Fascism.

They became popular again in the 1970's in the anti-nuclear movement in the United States.
The use of affinity groups dates back to 19th century Spain, where they were called tertulias by Spanish anarchists.
Use of an affinity group also serves to keep information within the group (rather than, say, the police).

Such was the case even among Anarchosyndicalists who, Bookchin asserts, were usually more anarchists than they were syndicalists.
Bookchin ends his history on July 18, 1936: "The generals' uprising had begun -- but so too had the libertarian social revolution." (p.

Eventually, however, Ferrer paid for his "radical" educational ideas with his life; the government executed him on October 13, 1909.Bookchin traces the encounters between socialists and anarchists.
The Civil War led to the total repression of Spanish Anarchism.
These differences became crucial during the Spanish Civil War, when communists fought anarchists in the streets, rather than working with them to defeat Franco and his Fascist minions.The book does a great job of explaining the world into which the Spanish Civil War burst in 1936.
