Join us online as we celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Spanish Social Revolution!
This online event has been organised by the CNT-E and IWW-WISERA as part of a presentation on the meaning of the Social Revolution that broke out in Spain.
Let us remember: it came after the defeat of the fascist coup d’état by the working people. Subsequently, the urban proletariat took over factories and workshops, organized popular canteens and workers’ militias that went on to conquer the cities held by criminal fascism.
In the countryside, a large-scale revolution erupted, spreading across much of the Republican territory in Spain. In total, about three million people took part in this revolution, and they proved that the people are capable of managing their own affairs without the need for bosses.
This online presentation and discussion has been brought to you by a collaboration of the Industrial Workers of the World IWW, the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (National Confederation of Labour’ - CNT) and the International Confederation of Labour (Confederación Internacional del Trabajo ICL-CIT), the international to which both revolutionary unions belong.
In marking the occasion of the 90th Anniversary of the Spanish Social Revolution, labour historian, researcher and CNT militant, Miguel Gómez, author of ‘The CNT and the New Economy’ will exam the achievements, challenges and lessons of revolutionary Spain.
