What led up to the Spanish Revolution? Why did anarchism take root in
Spain and not in Germany, Russia or elsewhere? What were Proudhon's
federalist views, what was Bakunin's anarchist collectivism and what was
Kropotkin's anarcho-communism? How did revolutionary syndicalism differ
from anarcho-syndicalism? How did all these currents of ideas contribute
to keeping anarchism alive in Spain despite the waves of repression it
suffered for seventy years: from the time of the federalist movement of
Piy Margal and the Bacchus of the First International to the coup of
Franco in 1936? How did the anarchists manage, amidst the vicissitudes
of the Civil War, to create the most important Social Revolution of the
20th century and to bring about collectivization in both rural and
industrial areas voluntarily and not forcibly and violently like the
Bolsheviks in 1917? Bookchin answers all these questions in a clear but
at the same time interdisciplinary way, the opposite of the one that
develops in academic greenhouses. Bookchin's way of searching for
a-truth is similar to that of all revolutionary intellectuals whose
spirit has been sharpened by their sincere need to answer in
non-ideological terms the eternal question: "How can the world change",
how to live the people without state and capitalism, without hierarchy
and sovereignty? The key to the achievements of Spanish anarchism in
1936 lies, as Bookchin demonstrates, in the pre-existing trade union
organization. And above all in the Spanish anarcho-syndicalists'
particular perception of the trade union, who considered it not only an
instrument of struggle and claims, but also as the cell of the future
society, which should already include its libertarian principles. (From
the presentation on the back cover of the book)
