A short history of the Spanish Civil War and Revolution which broke out in response to the right-wing and fascist coup attempt of General Franco.
"The Spanish labor movement inherited a revolutionary legacy whose most important landmarks are the general strike of 1917, the proletarian insurrection of 1934, and the zealous antifascist reaction of 1936. "
PM Press's very own Ramsey Kanaan talks to anarchist writer Stuart Christie, who was jailed for attempting to assassinate Franco, about the Spanish Revolution, its successes and ultimate failure, and anarchist resistance against fascism and Franco.
For the Spanish workers and peasants who fought against it, though, Franco's uprising was not the beginning of the struggle. It was the high point of reaction against a revolutionary movement that had been developing for years. In the first part of a two-part article, Geoff Bailey explains the years of rebellion and reaction that led to the Spanish Civil War.
"The violent escalation of the student protests against the tuition fees hike in London shocked many people, and now one of Britain's top police chiefs is pondering the banning of future marches."
"Shoppers at Walmart will soon have something other than glossy magazines and chewing gum to look at when in the checkout line: A "video message" from the Department of Homeland Security asking them to look out for "suspicious" activity and report it immediately."

This week, a new bill was tabled. It would prohibit non-citizens from acting as tourist guides in East Jerusalem… The bill is intended to deprive Arab Jerusalemites of the right to serve as tourist guides at their holy places in their city, since they are apt to deviate from the official propaganda line.

Imagine that hundreds of black protesters descended on DC armed with AK-47s. Would they be defended as patriotic Americans?

He warned left and progressive people that "[r]idiculing the tea party shenanigans is a serious error."
-
Chomsky was off-base in implying the tea party is a working-class phenomenon. It's true that, as he said, there is a "class" resentment among the tea party movement, and the context is the devastating economic crisis and wealth gap that exists in the United States. Undoubtedly there are working-class people among the tea partiers. But the working class does not make up the majority of this movement. Nor does this movement represent working-class interests.
