Trotskyism and the Spanish Workers' Movement
‘There is nothing so destructive as illusion, whereas nothing can be of greater use to the revolution than naked truth.’ Rosa Luxemburg, The Spartacus Programme.
The Spanish Revolution was the last great confrontation in the Europe-wide class war sparked by the triumph of the Russian Revolution in 1917. It inspired workers from all over the world and its tragic defeat was a source of controversy for decades after the events. The writings of Leon Trotsky were important in that debate. The writings of other revolutionaries — such as Victor Serge — are less well known, though they were important contributions in the development of the early “Trotskyist” movement. Those debates are worth revisiting. They highlight important lessons about Marxist organisation.
