Quote by: lsbskins1  This from the man who touts the momentary success of
Spanish Anarchism and urges us to look to that short
lived example as some sort of touchstone (taking credit for
the good) but blames outside forces for it's downfall, by
putting all the blame on some nebulous group of "others"
who could not resist the forces of authority (a cowardly
avoidence of taking credit for the trouble).
Or do those rules only apply to "others"? |
It's not a story or an excuse.
It's actually true that Spanish anarchists were crushed militarily. It's also true that American and European movements have been crushed. So....am I to believe that, just because some person or group get's beaten, that their previous efforts weren't worthwhile?
As for whether the Spanish Anarchists were as bad as anyone else, I don't know what to tell you.
Some of this could probably be found on various web sites, and I could provide some if you'd like. And, of course, there are sources that make claims either way. But I won't say they had no reason to have a revolution in general, let alone against encroaching fascism. In the end, it's the fear of being without an economic/political yoke that'll be our demise (assuming, of course, that we don't get hit by meteorites or that a supervolcano won't erupt).
