1936-37: the war in Spain exposes anarchism's fatal flaws

I am posting this recent article on anarchism in Spain in the 1930s (the first of two) - the most recent addition to the ICC’s long-running series ‘Communism is not just a nice idea’ (http://en.internationalism.org/go_deeper) - because I think it is relevant to an emerging debate around internationalism and anti-fascism in relation to the wars in the Middle East and the Ukraine. I will add the second part (on dissident anarchist tendencies in the war in Spain) when it is ready.
