Examines two different aspects of the anti-fascist fight: the struggle of the partisans in Reggio Emilia, and the contribution of the Italian volunteers in Spain in 1937. Both essays share a common, tragic, subtext: the sacrificing of libertarian communist revolutionaries (and of the revolutions they fought for) by an "official" Communism dictated from Moscow. In a postscript on the recent trial of comrades in Italy, Greece and Scotland, the continuity of anarchist resistance in Italy, and the need for international solidarity, is shown clearly.

The Iron Column was one of the legendary anarchist fighting units in the Spanish Revolution, famed because it was partly made up of ex-convicts, and because of its ferocious military abilities, and anarchist revolutionary fervor. This account first appeared in Nosotros, the daily newspaper of the Iron Column in March 1937, on the eve of its militarization. It serves as not only a moving personal account from one of its members, but a justification, and defence of the Column and its reputation.  "And History will say that the Iron Column was perhaps the only column in Spain that had a clear vision of what our Revolution ought to be. It will also say that of all the columns, ours offered the greatest resistance to militarization, and that there were times when, because of that resistance, it was completely abandoned to its fate..."

Remembering Spain: Italian Anarchist Volunteers in the Spanish Civil War

Marzocchi, Umberto

Mayday means more than maypoles and pagan love rites. It's a remembrance of class struggle and resistance. It commemorates the Haymarket Martyrs of Chicago who were framed - and executed - for their anarchist ideas and fighting for the eight hour day. Since the 1890s workers have marked Mayday all across the world. This pamphlet shows the history of Mayday, and the differing ways in which Anarchists have responded to its call. It includes pieces on: The Haymarket affair and its aftermath; The idea of Mayday in the 1890s; Responses and appeals from America, Italy and Spain; Mayday and Latin American Anarchism; Reclaiming Mayday in recent times...

Mayday And Anarchism: Remembrance And Resistance from Haymarket to Now

Portuguese anarchism has been overshadowed by the events in neighboring Spain - and often deliberately ignored by statist partisans of communism and liberalism. But, for all that, Portugal has a long tradition of libertarian organisation. It runs from the first days of the International in the 1870s, to the insurrection of 1910, fighting the fascist dictatorship from the 1920s to the '70s, continuing up the present day. This pamphlet uncovers, and sketches, that hidden history.

Edgar Rodrigues, the chief historian of anarchism in Brazil, recounts some of the events that made Santos notorious as an anarchist stronghold: demonstrations, raids and cavalry charges, but also self-education, workers' newspapers and revolutionary theatre.
