O ANARQUISMO, O SINDICALISMO REVOLUCIONÁRIO E A REVOLUÇÃO ESPANHOLA

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the meanders of the connection between anarcho-syndicalism and revolutionary syndicalism, as well as some of its theorists, with the emergence and unfolding of the Spanish Revolution, which took place between 1936 and 1939. We seek to present how anarchism was at the root of the Spanish conflict, some of its theorists and what they advocated in terms of the role that would be given to the works councils and their relationship with the unions in the society of the future. We also seek to demonstrate that one of the main characteristics of the Spanish Revolution was the emergence of collectivizations, which were nothing more than companies that passed into the hands of their workers directly, without intermediaries, and was therefore neither private nor state property. Such works councils were immersed in various problems and contradictions that had roots in the revolutionary process itself, dealing with enormous practical difficulties such as lack of raw materials, loss of consumer market, difficulties in transportation, etc.
