The Anarchists of the Spanish Civil War

The video explores the Spanish Civil War, highlighting the lesser-known anarchist movement that emerged alongside the conflict between fascists and republicans.

Despite initial success, the movement declined as the communist party gained dominance, prioritizing the war effort over revolution. The video reflects on the war's overshadowed history and the potential for alternative societal structures.
