I really like Fighting for

I really like Fighting for Ourselves. For what it is (a long pamphlet, with all the compromises in what it can cover and what it has to simplify or brush over that creates), it does very well at achieving what it sets out to do. I wish other forms of anarchism had intros that good.

worst:

Federica Montseny on a meeting in Madrid, 31/08/1936, reported in Solidaridad Obrera (02/09/1936), found in Vernon Richards: Lessons of the Spanish Revolution. Third edition (Freedom Press, London, 1983/1995):

“… with the enemy lacking dignity or a conscience, without a feeling of being Spaniards, because if they were Spaniards, if they were patriots, they would not have let loose on Spain the Regulars and the Moors to impose the civilisation of the Fascists, not as a Christian civilisation, but as a Moorish civilisation, people we went to colonise for them now to come and colonise us, with religious principles and political ideas which they wish to impose on the minds of the Spanish people“.
