  Why don’t we compare to some other nations, to see how long they lasted before falling to fascism?

  • Greece: 7-8 months
  • Norway: 2 months
  • France: 6 weeks
  • Poland: 5 weeks
  • Belgium: 18 days
  • Netherlands: 5 days
  • Denmark: 6 hours

    That implies that the Anarchists ever took control of the nation away from the Nationalist party which knelt down to the Nazis IMMEDIATELY.

      the point of anarchism is not to control the state, but rather to stop having one. for the territory that made up anarchist Spain, that was successfully achieved. it’s no weakness of anarchism itself to be defeated militarily; all kinds of societies have been defeated militarily.

        That’s kind of my point. They didn’t manage to do that.

      The Nationalist party were the fucking nazis, my guy, the clue is right there in the name. They were backed by Hitler and Mussolini.
