The Story of the Iron Column: Militant Anarchism in the Spanish Civil War<\/a><\/em> The members of the Iron Column were among the most notorious anarchists in the Spanish Civil War. They were intransigent in the face of the fascist revolt, but also in defence of the revolution’s gains.<\/p>\n We say to all workers, to all revolutionaries, to all anarchists: At the front or in the rearguard, wherever you may be, fight against the enemies of your liberty and demolish fascism. But also make sure that your exertions do not bring about the installation of a dictatorial regime that would represent the continuation, with all of its vices and defects, of the whole state of affairs that we are trying to obliterate. Now with weapons and later with the tools of labour, learn to live without tyrants and to develop for yourselves the only road to freedom. These are the feelings of the Iron Column, and they have been explained clearly and simply.<\/p>\n Comrades: Death to fascism! Long live the social revolution! Long live anarchy!<\/p>\n ~ The Iron Column, 1 October 1936<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Abel Paz (1921-2009) was a fifteen-year-old anarchist when the Spanish Revolution began. After the revolution’s defeat, he spent several years in exile, returning to Spain in 1942 as a guerrilla fighter against the Franco regime. He spent most of the subsequent eleven years in prison. Paz spent his later years authoring biographical and autobiographical works and delivering lectures celebrating the achievements of the Spanish anarchists. His book Durruti in the Spanish Revolution<\/a><\/em>, was published by AK Press in 2006.<\/p>\n Paul Sharkey<\/a>, an accomplished translator, has almost single-handedly made available a vast body of non-English language anarchist texts. His numerous translations include the works of Nestor Makhno, Osvaldo Bayer, Errico Malatesta, Daniel Gu\u00e9rin, Jos\u00e9 Peirats, and Antonio T\u00e9llez.<\/p>\n Iron Column Records<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Iron Column Records is a distro and label spreading the anti-fascist message through no-nonsense music and merchandise.
