Hi Comrades,

I am very interested in anti-fascist theory but cannot find Durrutti,The People Armed by Abel Paz.It is seemingly impossible to find so I am having to resort to asking people on libcom if they know how to get it.I look forward to your help.

Hi, not to be a pedantic jerk but what exactly would "anti-fascist theory" be? Surely "the people armed" is revolutionary practice. Would Wilhelm Reich's "Mass psychology of fascism" be "anti-fascist theory"?

wow, I see that the AK book is 800 pages. This is either a completely new book, or an extended (original) version of the book "Durrutti,The People Armed" (Originally published by Free Life Editions,NY) also by Abel Paz.

The AK link seems to be temporarily down (as of this writing) so I can't get a glimpse. Anyone know anything more on the AK book?

My buddy just lent me "The Friends Of Durruti Group: 1937-1939" by Agustin Guillamon. I just started it and would like to hear what y'all think of it.

ı Think it is very interesting. However the book gave me the impression that anarchists realised where they are heading for too late and did too little to avoid. Bilan series are also interesting if you prefer to look.

Thats what I'm getting so far also. From the little that I know of the Spanish Rev/Civil War is seems that to much of the revolution was sacrificed for "anti-fascist unity". Climb in bed with the wrong people and you'll probably end up with the syph. Whats the Bilan series?

Bilan was a bordigist publication.
