A must read for socialists, Levals book describes the history of the Spanish anarchist/libertarian movement up to the Spanish Civil War, the underlying thought and practice on which the ends of the revolution were founded, and most importantly, the collectivization and socialization achievements of the Spanish working classes. We read about how they worked, in both agrarian and urban industrial settings. While so many of us still rightfully look to the Paris Commune for inspiration, few realize how far surpassed it was by revolutionary Spain. Read this book and discover what a libertarian movement can achieve.
