Living Anarchism Chapter Two: From the street Living Anarchism José Peirats and the Spanish Anarcho-syndicalist gangs of Barcelona to the Movement anarchist groups (1923–30) Chris Ealham I am a modest writer who emerged from the fired clay of an oven. —José Peirats 2.1 The forging of a revolutionary During the seven years of the dictatorship, Peirats was transformed from a fifteen-year-old child labourer into an enlightened brickmaker, becoming, what was known in working-class circles, ‘un obrero consciente’ (literally, a conscious worker). This conversion, if inexorable, was nonetheless gradual. From age nine onwards, he had assimi- lated the ‘rough’ culture of the brickmakers, so the teenage cenetista was motivated by adolescent male concerns with sex, hedonism, and football. In keeping with patterns of masculine sociability, Peirats was part of a gang of young brickmakers, the leader of which was tattooed – something which, in the 1920s, was not as mainstream as it is today. They frequented the rowdy bars of Collblanc-La Torrassa and Barcelona’s notorious red-light district, the ‘Barrio Chino’ (Chinatown), in search of diversion and nocturnal pleasures.1 1 MI T. 1, L. II, 38–9; for the ‘Barrio Chino’, see Chris Ealham, ‘An 2015 “Imagined Geography”: Ideology, Urban Space and Protest in the Creation 52 long periods in the union office, the nerve centre of the strike. As union resources became stretched, the brickmakers were increasingly fighting a rearguard action. When the union ruled that single males could work in brick- works outside Barcelona, where there was no dispute with em- ployers, José, still just fifteen, was sent with other cenetistas to work in Castellar del Vallès, twenty-five kilometres from home, returning at weekends to divide up his wages between his fam- ily and the union strike fund.113 But by September 1923, af- ter seven months, the strike was collapsing, only to be killed off by the military coup launched by General Miguel Primode Rivera on 13 September. The brickworkers returned to work in defeat, demoralised and embittered; the employers, however, were jubilant. The owners of Barcelona’s brickworks thanked their military saviour for bringing ‘social and political sani- tation’ to their city and to Spain.114 The advent of dictator- ship marked the end of a cycle of protest that had gathered pace during the world war. For José, however, this marked a new beginning, a time of reflection, clandestine activism, and consciousness-raising that equipped him with the ideas and be- liefs that shaped the course of his life. 113 Peirats, Figuras, pp. 68–9. 114 La Vanguardia, 12–14 and 23 September 1923. 51 Barcelona CNT’s Sociedad de Ladrilleros (Brickmakers’ Soci- ety). Its parent union, the Sindicato de la Construcción (Con- struction Union), was the most militant of all the city’s unions, which encadred thousands of migrant workers. This coincided with a union recruitment drive ahead of a planned strike action Contents intended to improve the lot of the brickmakers. Ironically, for all the influence of his milieu and his uncle Nelo and cousin Vicente, José was a reluctant cenetista: he was bluntly ordered Selected List of Acronyms 7 to join the union by his workplace delegate or be declared a ‘scab’, ‘and then you’ll find out what happens!’110 Yet, once Dedication 9 a trade unionist, he immersed himself in CNT activities, regu- Introduction 10 larly attending the union office in Sants after work, wherehe Acknowledgements . 16 met and socialised with other activists and perused newspapers and books in the reading room.

  • The Brief Summer of Anarchy: the Life and Death of Durruti - Hans Magnus Enzensberger
    The Brief Summer of Anarchy: The Life and Death of Durruti - Hans Magnus Enzensberger Introduction: Funerals The coffin arrived in Barcelona late at night. It rained all day, and the cars in the funeral cortege were covered with mud. The black and red flag that draped the hearse was also filthy. At the anarchist headquarters, which had been the headquarters of the employers association before the war,1 preparations had already been underway since the previous day. The lobby had been transformed into a funeral chapel. Somehow, as if by magic, everything was finished in time. The decorations were simple, without pomp or artistic flourishes. Red and black tapestries covered the walls, a red and black canopy surmounted the coffin, and there were a few candelabras, and some flowers and wreaths: that was all. Over the side doors, through which the crowd of mourners would have to pass, signs were inscribed, in accordance with Spanish tradition, in bold letters reading: “Durruti bids you to enter”; and “Durruti bids you to leave”. A handful of militiamen guarded the coffin, with their rifles at rest. Then, the men who had accompanied the coffin from Madrid carried it to the anarchist headquarters. No one even thought about the fact that they would have to enlarge the doorway of the building for the coffin to be brought into the lobby, and the coffin-bearers had to squeeze through a narrow side door. It took some effort to clear a path through the crowd that had gathered in front of the building. From the galleries of the lobby, which had not been decorated, a few sightseers watched.

Epilogue 265 Postscript 270 Selected Bibliography 277 2 1. Prologue ‘Whoever denies authority and fights against it is an anarchist,’ said Sebastien Faure. The defi- nition is tempting in its simplicity, but simplicity is the first thing to guard against in writing a history of anarchism. Few doctrines or movements have been so confusedly understood in the public mind, and few have presented in their own variety of approach and action so much excuse for confusion. That is why, before beginning to trace the actual historical course of anarchism, as a theory and a movement, I start with a chapter of definition. What is anarchism? And what is it not? These are the questions we must first consider. Faure’s statement at least marks out the area in which anarchism exists. All anarchists deny authority; many of them fight against it. But by no means all who deny authority andfight against it can reasonably be called anarchists. Historically, anarchism is a doctrine which poses a criticism of existing society; a view of a desirable future society; and a means of passing from one to the other.

    Rafael Calvo Ortega y la crisis del centro político: la disolución de la UCD desde una perspectiva suarista Carlos González Martínez Universidad de Valladolid [email protected] Jorge Lafuente del Cano Universidad de Valladolid [email protected] Introducción La construcción de la España democrática durante la segunda mitad de los años setenta, hunde sus raíces, tanto en el consenso entre las distintas formaciones políticas, como en la voluntad de la inmensa mayoría de la ciudadanía. En este sentido, puede hablarse de un protagonismo amplio y compartido entre todos ellos, de tal manera que nadie puede apropiarse de la Transición en su conjunto. Ahora bien, es indudable que determinados actores desempeñaron un papel trascendental en ese proceso. La Unión de Centro Democrático (UCD), como formación que gobernó los primeros años del cambio político, se encuentra entre ellos. La coalición, convertida en partido en la segunda mitad de 1977, dirigió el acuerdo general al que nos venimos refiriendo, plasmado principalmente en la redacción de la Constitución y en la firma de los Pactos de la Moncloa. Además, buena parte de sus miembros más prominentes, incluido el propio Adolfo Suárez, habían pertenecido al gobierno que aprobó la Ley para la Reforma Política a finales de 1976. Por todas esas razones, entendemos que una comprensión más completa de esos hechos precisa de un estudio de las personas que desempeñaron responsabilidades públicas bajo las siglas UCD. Abordamos la figura de Rafael Calvo Ortega, político centrista que fue senador en la legislatura de 1977 y diputado en la de 1979, así como ministro en dos de los gobiernos de Adolfo Suárez.

  • Casanova, Julían, the Spanish Republic and Civil
    This page intentionally left blank The Spanish Republic and Civil War The Spanish Civil War has gone down in history for the horrific violence that it generated. The climate of euphoria and hope that greeted the over- throw of the Spanish monarchy was utterly transformed just five years later by a cruel and destructive civil war. Here, Julián Casanova, one of Spain’s leading historians, offers a magisterial new account of this crit- ical period in Spanish history. He exposes the ways in which the Republic brought into the open simmering tensions between Catholics and hard- line anticlericalists, bosses and workers, Church and State, order and revolution. In 1936, these conflicts tipped over into the sacas, paseos and mass killings that are still passionately debated today. The book also explores the decisive role of the international instability of the 1930s in the duration and outcome of the conflict. Franco’s victory was in the end a victory for Hitler and Mussolini, and for dictatorship over democracy. julián casanova is Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Zaragoza, Spain. He is one of the leading experts on the Second Republic and the Spanish Civil War and has published widely in Spanish and in English.

    Social Anarchism and Organisation by Federação Anarquista do Rio de Janeiro ‐ FARJ English translation of Anarquismo Social e Organização, by the Anarchist Federation of Rio de Janeiro (Federação Anarquista do Rio de Janeiro – FARJ), Brazil, approved at the 1st FARJ Congress, held on 30th and 31st of August 2008. Federação Anarquista do Rio de Janeiro j 1 The first Congress of the FARJ was held with the principal objective of deepening our reflections on the question of organisation and formalising them into a programme. This debate has been happening within our organisation since 2003. We have produced theoretical materials, established our thinking, learned from the successes and mistakes of our political practice it was becoming increasingly necessary to further the debate and to formalise it, spreading this knowledge both internally and externally. The document “Social Anarchism and Organisation” formalises our positions after all these reflections. More than a purely theoretical document, it reflects the conclusions realised after five years of practical application of anarchism in the social struggles of our people. The document is divided into 16 parts. It has already been published in Portuguese in a book co-published between Faísca and the FARJ. Document approved at the 1st Congress, held on 30th and 31st of August 2008 The first Congress of the Anarchist Federation of Rio de Janeiro pays tribute to its comrades: Juan Perez Bouzas (1899-1958) Featured anarchist cobbler of Galician origin that, with unusual talent and determination, highlighted the necessity of the deepening of the struggle. In 2008 we remember the fiftieth anniversary of his death (05/09/1958).
