(en) Italy, FAI, Umanita Nova #23-26 - SPAIN '36 UTOPIA BECOMES HISTORY (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Fri, 21 Aug 2026 08:25:48 +0300


Ninety years ago, the unique experience of the Spanish Revolution enabled workers, women, peasants, and proletarians to take control of their own lives, fight fascism, and deprive the Republic's pallid reformism of meaning, revealing the bright reality of the libertarian solution and making utopia a reality. All this was possible because the truly revolutionary forces of social anarchism were powerfully organized in the Iberian Anarchists' Federation (Federación Anarquista Ibérica) and were deeply in tune with the proletariat, largely organized in the National Labor Confederation (Confederación Nacional del Trabajo), a direct expression of a concrete alternative to capitalism. The relationship between the FAI and the CNT was based on the organizational dualism between specific organizations and mass organizations, which, from Bakunin to Malatesta, has been one of the defining traits of social anarchism.
We live in different times, but anarchists are still present in struggles today, alongside the exploited, those suffering blackmail, poverty, and repression. Our perspective remains intact. It's up to us to communicate it effectively, engage with the struggles, infuse radicality into our demands, and fuel hopes for real and profound change. We've had the revolution in our grasp; we've seen an ideal realized. If it happened, it means it's possible. If it's possible, it means we must create the conditions for what's possible to become reality. With solidarity, with mass work, by strengthening our organizational tools. To break through the darkness of exploitation, oppression, and war. So that there may be a long summer of anarchy.

Have a good summer.
