En breve aparecerá en MADRID " C N T „ OrganodeioCONFEDERACION NÁGOXAL HL TRABAJO G RA N DIARIO PROLETARIO DE LA CIUDAD Y EL CAMPO 'Wc do not make war just for the sake of making war. Were our movement compelled to be encapsulated by one blurt adjective that adjective would not be "warlike", but "revolutionary" There is yet time for us to express ourselves in the most readily understood form possible. Definite facts and definite ideas must be given their proper names. There must be an end to this mistake of double entendres which complicate the dictionary. And the fact is that frequently a play on words is followed up by the fail accompli. "War" has been so loudly trumpeted as a synonym for "revolution" that we have been induced to invest in this war with all of the bellicose accoutrements that were always odious to us: the regular army and discipline, The same thing has happened with discipline in the proper sense, There have been comrades aplentv who, despite their ¿won fidrs, have flirted with the term and spoken to us of discipline while painting this in colours diametrically opposed to freedom. This, far from rendering discipline more humane, is a bestialisation of freedom. It is not so very long ago that an attempt was made in our circles to peddle a version of discipline implying order and responsibility comparable with anarchy. Such an endeavour always called to our minds the idea of "good government" or "tutelary authority", as oppo^d to despotic or blatantly authoritarian government. And just as it has not been possible to sort governments into good ones and bad ones ■— since in fact there are, rather, only bad ones and worse ones — wc have come to learn with the passage of time that all discipline is a tributary of regimentation. We aver that all wars are inauspicious. Were it our belief that we are making a war, we should be the first to desert. The fact is that war never erupts to the advantage of those who inflict and suffer its ravages. We are not fighting here to advance anyone'» private interests, though there will be no shortage of bigwigs who will seek to commandeer the fruits of our struggle and gamble on the ups and downs of our successes and our reverses, turning our rearguard into a stockjobbers' lot. Our fight is against privilege and not for the nation, a fight for liberty and not for the fatherland, a fight for anarchy and not for the Republic. We risk our lives for the collective good and not for a privileged caste. While one of us remains standing, the social revolution, which is the driving force behind our liberation movement, will never want for defenders and combatants, whether they use pen, fist, word or rifle. We do not make war; war is always made for the purposes of someone else, and fought out between the brethren who are poor in spirit. We make revolution for the benefit of all human b e in g s and .lgjinat iht* clique* who are hajigovers from parasitism and self-centred ness, And as we are making revolution, not one square metre of reconquered ground must be subtracted trom the process of transformation, despite the froglike croaking of those whose lack of spirit and mettle inclines them to dabble in the stagnant waters of politicking,' — Editorial from Acrada (Lleida), 1936-7 Contents Glossary of organisations 5: The August Crisis and the Battle o f the Ebro 95 Spanish anarchism in the English language i Plenum of the Libertarian Movement in 1: The Valencia Economic Forum 1 Catalonia.

The main objective would be to cut the communications with Levante and connect with the forces near the Jarama, further closing the Madrid pocket. Meanwhile, the Italian forces, inactive since the fall of Malaga, were demanding a new theatre of intervention. Thus a plan is finalized, on which the Italian forces would spearhead an offensive, using the Madrid – Zaragoza road as axis of advance. On the 8th of March, amidst snow, rain and muddy fields, the highly motorized Italian forces struck the Republican lines and started their advance. The Italian force would spearhead the attack aided by two 2 Spanish brigades from the Soria Division. After clearing the initial villages the Spanish handed over the stage to the Italians. The 2nd Division, Fiamme Nere (Black Flames), advanced along the Zaragoza Road until they reached the village of Almaladrones. 2) Alto de Leon 002.Alto de Leon I.scn - July 24, 1936 – 16 Turns Sierra de Guadarrama, Alto de Leon Side: Best as Republican or PBEM As the military uprising failed, Gen Mola's forces, based in Navarra, begun a series of operations.

  • EXTRACTS from a HISTORICAL ENCYCLOPAEDIA of SPANISH ANARCHISM by Miguel Iñiguez (Translated by Paul Sharkey)
    EXTRACTS from A HISTORICAL ENCYCLOPAEDIA of SPANISH ANARCHISM by Miguel Iñiguez (Translated by Paul Sharkey) http://www.christiebooks.com 1. CARBÓ CARBÓ, Eusebio. Palamós 1883-Mexico 1958. Coming from a family of federalists and anti-clericals, he was active in the Federalist Youth before going over to anarchism following his reading of Godwin, Proudhon, Kropotkin and Bakunin and observation of the world around him. A bit of a globe-trotter (even in his prison experience, seeing the inside of nearly sixty prisons from the age of 18 onwards) he lived for a long time in Valencia and travelled Europe and the Americas (he was especially familiar with Italy and knew many of the Italian anarchists, like Malatesta, Borghi and Fabbri, being much impressed by Malatesta). Early in the century (1905) he was close to the Avenir group and by the time the First World War came around he was an anarchist of some prestige. In 1915 he attended the congress in El Ferrol (representing Solidaridad Obrera), in 1918 he was at the Anarchist Conference in Barcelona, was present at the International Labour Congress in Geneva and the sixth congress of the F.N.A. in Valencia (where he was outstanding for his vehemence and hard line). His presence at the La Comedia congress in 1919 has been described as crucial: he drafted the anarchist manifesto, was on the working party on propaganda and opposed the line taken by Quintanilla. In the ensuing years he was a leading representative of the most anarchist tendency (and from 1921 stood out on account of his condemnation of the dictatorship of the proletariat).

Editor Markus Stein 2018 translation: Justin Howard Introduction At the close of the second year, I believe that Depesche has finally established itself in the field of military-themed magazines. At the same time, I still get great enjoyment from preparing and putting together each issue. I also post the latest copy with fresh excitement to the various subscribers each time and try to imagine their reaction. Therefore, I’m glad for every comment from the readers, which I will happily use where appropriate to improve our magazine. On one hand, this issue continues longer studies, like the articles about the Württemberg and the Italian armies, however on the other hand introduces a new column, actually two. In no particular order, therefore, in the series “First-hand Sources …”, each time a contemporary pictorial manuscript, an interesting diary or an excellent work from a later date will be discussed. As far as possible, the author, the scope and the content of the work will be investigated.

This conflict has been categorized as a "police action", not a war, therefore little has been published by the Chief of Military History, Department of the Army or by individuals. However, the material available to our historian is believed to be of such importance as to justify its publication in this volume of our official history. While Washington National Guard units did not actually serve in Korea during this "police action", our Air National Guard and certain artillery units were inducted into service to replace like regular air and army units withdrawn for service in Korea. However, many Washington men participated in the action as did the 2nd and 3rd Infantry Divisions, both of which had been stationed at Fort Lewis and other Washington military installations.
