Excellent documentary full of Incredible imagery and powerful lessons. Some key takeaways for me:

• After the street fighting had been won, the ability for unions across the country to engage in a general strike, and commit to it for 3 months, appeared to be an effective way to further weaken the state at that moment.
• Unfortunately, the reformists in the movement didn’t learn from the Spanish Civil War, and they were duped into working with the government similar to how some members of the CNT-FAI joined the republican government, which as proved here, is a critical mistake.

To win this, it’s clear that every base has to be thoroughly covered before it begins. Seemingly, a more thorough education of anarchist history amongst the populace may have altered the outcome, and from what I recall is why Catalonia’s revolution during the Spanish civil war was successful, as people had been diligently and tirelessly spreading anarchist education for decades before the revolution begun, and thus the population was adequately prepared. Though the weakness of the republican government likely also played a large role there.

A difficult task accomplish, educating a significant portion of the populace, but there’s nothing else for it, it must be tried.
