Overview of Organizational Developments in Spanish Anti-Revisionism

In 1963 the first anti-revisionists Marxist-Leninist organisations arose, and after that, various others developed either through subsequent splits or by indirect or direct routes, not least the student movement and catholic circles influenced by Marxism. Like elsewhere in Europe, inspired by the Sino-Soviet Polemic and later the Cultural Revolution, there was an organisational rupture, a separation from the revisionist party, but how much of a political, ideological and organisational rupture was there? The proliferation of small militants groups1, and an inability to rally a stable recognised leadership that could command allegiance amongst the various trends saw unresolved ideological concerns engendered criticism and splits that were never resolved in any organisation that could act as, rather than proclaim itself, the successor of the PCE. Spanish anti-revisionists operated under a repressive authoritarian regime headed by Franco whose military coup had overthrown the Spanish republic. It was a heroic struggle in a regime noted for its anti-communist repression and police killing demonstrating workers in the streets, generating an armed response of differing intensity and effectiveness.

ESTUDIO DE CASOS EN GALICIA Resumen: En la sociedad industrial los políticos tenían que dominar el lenguaje de la TV pues interesaba más la intensidad de la reacción que la duración del mensaje; debían emplear frases contundentes. En la Sociedad de la Información, con las tecnologías de la comunicación (Tic), esto cambia considerablemente pues la sociedad gana pluralismo y hay más voces que se hacen oír. Aparecen los Blogs como una forma de emitir opi- nión e información, que podemos considerar como una forma de expresión alternativa (aportan visiones diferentes de las noticias, ignoradas por los grandes medios).

Does Symbolic Recognition Matter?
Lund University STVK02/STVC76 Department of Political Science Spring 2018 Tutor: Agnes Cornell Does symbolic recognition matter? Secession-inducing features of symbolic recognition in two autonomous sub-state entities within Spain Theodor Emanuelsson Abstract This essay is a hypothesis-generating study that theorizes on secession-inducing features of symbolic recognition in places divided by national, ethnic, linguistic or cultural diversity, something that has generally been overlooked in the research field of constitutional design, secessionism and power sharing systems. The hypothesis is partially tested using a most-similar research design for two autonomous sub-state entities in Spain (Galicia and Catalonia) to show indications of the hypothesized relationship. It suggests that rejection of symbolic recognition could work as a secession-inducing mechanism in the short-term with effects on citizens’ preferences on independence in sub-state entities. Rejection of symbolic affirmations can give leeway to secessionist agendas and was certainly a trigger mechanism in the growth of secessionism in Catalonia from 2010. Keywords: Symbolic recognition, Autonomy institutions, Secession, Catalonia, Galicia Words: 8288 excluding Abstract and List of references. Table of contents 1.
