Thanks Lawrence!

Thanks to the large crowd that came out to hear Lawrence Jarach of Anarchy Magazine speak this Friday! His insights on the Spanish Revolution as well his critiques of the political Left hit the nail on the head. Over 25 people packed the Firehouse to hear him talk and also ask questions.

Lawrence discussed the successes and failures of not only the Spanish Revolution, but also drew some conclusions on the problems in entering into "Popular Fronts" against common enemies with those on the Left that do not share our desire for a world without capitalism and government. Such compromises with our enemies lead us into situations where we often find ourselves working with our future gravediggers.

In an effort to provide more information on the success and failures of anarchism in the Spanish Revolution in 1936, we are providing the start of an important documentary with Spanish anarchists on their experiences called "Living Utopia." Enjoy!

For further reading on the subject, one can start by checking out these various publications on Spanish anarchist revolutionary history. See you at the next event!
