103. It wasn't the anarchists that were killing a million people, that was the revolution they weren't

interested in. The film is about how well those that didn't run off to murder in the name of whatever did when they got rid of the powerful and the owners.

The government left and the people just took over, and did very well until they were noticed. As I was saying before, Noam Chomsky's lecture on it was quite enlightening.

The Fascist-Falange Nationalists under Franco and the Republicans under (sort of) Lerroux were killing each other and everybody else in their civil war, when the Anarchists simply went to work. For three years, life was astonishingly good. People just worked together and on their own with no bosses directing things. No police, no force, no money, no coercion.

I highly recommend the film, and if you can find Chomsky's lecture I would love a link. Pretty much all of the people that were there are now dead and this film may be the only remaining record of what people can do when they are freed from authority.
