[therightman231]

Man, Communism was spreading everywhere like cancer. There were many communists in Russia, China, Latine America, and all over Europe. Finally, the Fascists defeated the Communists after a bloody civil war. For me Communists and Fascists are worse than each other.

[FistofAmerica]

Communist bitches, they died with all the rest I'm sure.

DEATH to the Revolution!

GLORY to God and to the Lord Jesus Christ for giving these patriots the strength to crush these vermin.

[babehunter1324]

@FistofAmerica Hope you would got burned inside a church freakBag!

[FistofAmerica]

@babehunter1324 Just try it you communist cockroach. Unlike a priest, I can actually defend myself. When the commies went up against real men, they were vanquished, just as they deserved. Long live Christ the King.

[seigneurvoland666]

was that a real book at the end ?

[77almogabar]

ESTA ES UNA MUY BUENA PELICULA, y una muy fiel representacion de la guerra civil española

una utopia-eso fue todo, un pueblo que se creyo libre por que los que le gobernaban estaban entretenidos en robar A ESPAÑA. y perdieron los principios y el honor cuando les falto pan.

y en vez de libres se convirtieron en presas del comunismo, libertario lo llamaron aki¡jaja y una leche, te queria LIBRAR de algo para ser ellos peor.

el final de la historia ya la saben.

ARRIBA ESPAÑA

[Alonevoyager]

@77almogabar Completamente deacuerdo ARRIBA ESPAÑA!!!

[dearmalika]

Esto es de la pelicula Libertarias (1996) de Vicente Aranda y con Ana Belen y

Victoria Abril! Me gustaria ver la pelicula completa!

[CommieThreat]

Y que pasa con los curas comunistas? Soy en el seminario, y soy comunista, iviva la teologia de liberacion! Marxismo y Cristianismo son los mismos! iViva Lenin, y viva Jesucristo!

[nlogax1973]

@Bassisbest55 Libertarias, a great film, too!

[velanidisGR]

SPANISH NS WAS ALWAYS VERY GOOD!

[SdM45]

7:16 does anyone know the make and model of that subgun shes holding?

[PTS82]

'comrade nuns'...lol

[RuLASONN]

@PTS82 he said them ''comrade nuns'' only for make fun of the two nuns. in spain, militians humiliated a lot to the nuns and priest. they desecrated nuns and priests corpses and put them in the streets... people made fun of them

[london36neverforget]

esta pelicular es llama 'Libertarias'. Usted puede ver en 'google videos'.

[taniableh]

de que pelicula es esto?

[molly0000000s]

If you say, "no, fuck them until they're exactly like me", it's just a vicious cycle because there is no opportunity to break from those beliefs, unless you believe in deus ex machinas. It also in turn means that anarchism stays small and irrelevant as it grows when class struggle does. This liberal, do-gooder attitude of yours challenges sweet fuck all, rather it compounds you're a parochial twat afraid of someone not agreeing with you. Ironic really, considering how shit your politics are.

[molly0000000s]

What really puts this mental conspiratorial nonsense in the bin is the fact according to the International Labour Organisation, 2 million workers die due to job related illnesses a year. 350,000 die due to accidents. So in reality, work is more worrying than Muslims.

I find much of what people believe to be reactionary; work hard, nationalism is right, equality is wrong. But how on earth can you change these attitudes if you shun rather than engage with these people. It's moralistic wank.

[Sammaelhain]

@molly0000000s

I would agree that work in general and worker's rights in particular are some of the most important issues.

My anti religious sentiment is not limited to Muslims nor is it fueled by some xenophobic nationalist sentiment. My point is simply that religion is antithetical to anarchism.

The subtext you give it is unwarranted.

[tradercris]

Molly it's 2009 not 1939. Franco was a Catholic fanatic, but go to a nightclub in Madrid or Barcelona or Costa del Sol and lemme know how the old Cult of Virginity is faring - times have changd in that country. As for NI 1.5 million out of western europe's 700 million fight yesterday's battle - so be it.

Muslims view women as second class property of husband's or male relatives - there's no way around it and they want to reinstitute theocracy to have the state enforce it!

[joenobody13]

In feudal Europe you had to be wealthy to be in the clergy. Usually it was the 2nd or 3rd son of a Noble who didn't inherit his father's land. Being in the church was a way to get wealth, property, and power. This tradition surived through the 1930s and 40s

In the book Angela's Ashes (Ireland 1940s) the kid tried to be an altar boy but they shunned him because he was poor.

It was corrupt. that's why the US continental congress put "separation of church and state" in their constitution

[MokomaSusi]

Anarchists and other communists dont hate religion... they hate only christianity and judaism. They love Islam and thats been proven many times.

In köln when people were protesting againt grand mosque anarchist attacked (mostly antifa) againt those protestors with their muslim friends. There you have... cant say that anarchist hate religion.

[molly0000000s]

Sorry mate, but what a load of shit you're talking. There's no more love for Islam than there is for the other religions.

Anarchists will support Muslim folk being attacked because they are being largely targeted on the basis of their skin. They should be free to live their lives without someone marching outside their mosque. That obviously doesn't mean we support religion, but what would you think we should do? Say "Sorry people, can't help you 'cause you like a bit of Allah?"

[MokomaSusi]

Attack by why? It was anachists and muslims who attacked againt "Pro-Köln" demostration many of their victims were elderly people... anarchist and muslims also trashed places in Malmö when israeli tennis player was playing in stadium.

"That obviously doesn't mean we support religion, but what would you think we should do? "

You people are supporting Islam. You can provide no evidence to say otherwise.

[molly0000000s]

Well you're obviously a mental but this in YT, so no shit.

Pro Koln, the right wing group, is it? Sorry but sympathy isn't what you'll get from me. Also, what is this nonsense about tennis players in Sweden?

Well I can you dozy moron, anarchism is principally materialist and thus atheistic. We are against religion and spirituality though, not Muslims. Muslims are working class people too and when they're attacked, there's no other option but to be there to defend them.

[tradercris]

Molly you are a fool. I'm no fan of the ignorance and superstition of organized religion, but at least Europe went through enlightenment to reign in Catholics and no one takes Protestant, Lutheran or Orthodox seriousy anymore. Islam is a backward violent misogynistic creed stuck in the 6th century and determined to force their retrograde ways on secular Europe.

[molly0000000s]

Oh the irony. Upon winning the war, Franco turned Spain into a fundamentalist Christian state. I'm sure the populace there took it very seriously. Among others, one religious war especially close to home is still going on in Ireland between Catholics and Protestants. Here in "secular Europe", we are more likely to harmed by Christian fruitloops than Islamic ones.

So what is the problem, specific religions or religions taken to the (ill)logical extremes? History concurs with the latter, bozo.

[chokingvr0ckstdy]

and radical muslims see anarchists as the enemy of their people.. anarchists for the most part are secular

[Sammaelhain]

@molly0000000s

Bullshit,.

Would you defend fascists being attacked because they should be free to live their lives without antifa ruining their demos?

Of course not.

Oppose racism by all means, but religion is the enemy of liberty. If someone believes a celestial tyrant condones theabuse of women by their husbands or the execution of homosexuals they are not allies until they renounce those beliefs.

[molly0000000s]

According to bellends like tradercris and sammaelhain, all Muslims are troglodytes and fascists. Charming.

And yet, when state policy of various countries and lazy attitudes precisely like that demonise Muslims that they feel extremism is a just response, they'll scream in unison "but why?" like a pair of fucking idiots.

Most common Muslims are as religious as most common Christians; they frequent the mosque rarely, they drink and smoke and fuck. Religion is the problem, not the individuals.

[Sammaelhain]

@molly0000000s

How religious people are o how often they drink smoke or fuck is irrelevant to the question of whether or not anarchists should support religion. I agree with you in full that most anti Muslim sentiment is racist at its root. Accordingly it should be opposed on those terms.

Casual belief in religion is no healthier than casual support of capitalism or casual support of the bosses.

[molly0000000s]

Well you're obviously a thick one if you think supporting Muslims from attacks means that anarchists support religion; I clarified in my posts before that religion is the problem, not this faith or that one. Then again, you also think casual belief in capitalism is something to scorn at, despite nearly all of the world's population 'believing' in it. What are you going to do, poke fun of them thinking that'll make them anarchists?

[Sammaelhain]

@molly0000000s

I never suggest those things deserved scorn, I suggested they were unhealthy. It's incredibly ironic that you rail against ideological purity but the minute anyone criticizes your position you resort to this kind of sectarian nonsense,

[molly0000000s]

The idea of only supporting people with views exactly like yours is self affirming ghetto nonsense, this is why anarchism in the modern day is a fringe subculture rather than being a driving force attached to the workers' movement. The people who go on strike, occupy their schools or their workplaces, that don't accept their lot won't be anarchists, but they will be doing things that challenge capital and that develop class consciousness so that they question their reactionary beliefs.

[Sammaelhain]

@molly0000000s

Most of the work I do is through my union and that includes things that are specifically union business and the community outreach our local engages in.

However even as I work with non-anarchists I don't abandon my analysis of either big picture issues like religion or specific issues the specific attitudes of faiths like Christianity or Islam that are problematic and hurt real people.

Perhaps you'd be better served by critical engagement than always looking for a fight.

[molly0000000s]

Sectarian suggests we're somewhat on the same page; we're evidently not. For starters, I don't think ideological purity is a problem, I'm quite uncompromising in my beliefs, it's that you think this means that it's then alright to look down from your high anarcho horse like a moron.

But then this all ties in to being a union hack. I'm not sure how not "abandoning analysis" leads to thinking all Muslims "condone abuse of women by their husbands or the execution of homosexuals". Nice going!

[evilmick66]

2:00 - 2:04 LOL!! I do think that the ascetisism of the Spanich Anarchists was pretty silly. But everything else about them was indeed triumpant! I almost wish I was spanish and alive back then to behold such a glorious moment of the people's justice.

I hope that soon Catalonia can rise again to stamp out the authoritarian rats!

[CANTABROramses]

Ahí estamos con dos cojones contra el capital !

Porque la propiedad privada es el principio de desigualdad !!

[DiNaMiTeRo1000]

Durruti , el lider anarquista fue asesinado por la espalda , esta claro que por sus propios milicianos durante un combate en la guerra civil , no eran de fiar.

[beargrizly67]

And those who burn churches are certainly against freedom too, I do not care how may times they say Freedom!

[AnarchyDavey]

Why? Can one find freedom in authoritarian, patriarchal churches?

"The only church that illuminates is a burning church"~ Malatesta

[beargrizly67]

If you cannot find freedom in church jus pass by. It is no reason to burn the church.

[chokingvr0ckstdy]

the church and state were one back in the day....

[bart1989]

I think the church snetence comes from durruti, and not malatesta :)

[Sammaelhain]

beargrizly67, you lack historical perspective, during this time the catholic church was actively aiding fascists and working against the people.

You hear church and priest and think of them in purely spitural terms whereas what is being examined here is a reaction to the political reality of what those institutions have done

[beargrizly67]

- What does she say?

- That they are the whores too, but they do not charge.

That was good!

[xracertel]

What exactly to the Anarchist believe in? No govt. what so ever? Anyway I never knew that this group existed in Spain. I always thought it was a Facist/Commie war.

[jackriter]

No state, no capitalism, a society run by workers ourselves. No capitalist exploitation, no government repression, but true liberty. Liberty for our minds, and liberty for our class.

The anarchists played a more important role than the Stalinists, the Stalinists just took over the government in 1937, when the tide turned drastically in favor of the Fascists. The PCE (Spanish communist party) had only about 10,000 members at the start of the war, while the CNT had over a million.

[soulja4lyfe]

read spanish anarchism: the heroic years

by murray bookchin the best book on spanish anarchism

[Guardian223]

SACRILIGIOUS PIGS !!!

[Kurjach]

It is better to be a sacriligious pig, the a fascist. You suker of pederast !

[Guardian223]

better to be a fascist then to have the mind of a demon you sacriligious pig!

[Ecuapana]

El Fin

[Davis995]

Soy español.

larga viva ANTIFASCISTA!!!

[kingjohntheman]

FedralUnionRules's command of vocabulary is truly remarkable. Either he is severely retarded or is simply a coward hiding behind infantile speech because he hasn't got any conviction, thought, or backbone. Freedom and equality are cause for amusement only to those in power and their lackeys.

[FederalUnionRules]

fuck the revolution, all egotistical losers!

[ardion0]

My fathers uncle was down there fighting.

VIVA LA REVOLUTION

[nucleusofear]

best scene when the door opens and prostitute see a woman instead of a man.

viva mucheres

viva el communismo libertario

viva duruti

viva la revolution social

ps: sorry about my spanish all i know are lines from this movie!!

[Tagwrs]

anarquia

[lalofx]

ke gran pelicula cuando la vi me emocione

viva la liberdad carajo viva la anarkia

[KnightLightSight]

Beautiful film. Truly inspiring.

[kondurperu3]

One of the best spanish movies, Libertarias, write libertarias in tags

[Maxinegum]

:¨¨(

[laacha12]

I am a geneticist and if you altered the genetic make up of women, they could be less ?bitchy but overly agressive, they could grow a big, huge dick to f....k you and thus make men their bitches. Be careful with altering genetics without a brain.

[sebreathnach]

I suspect you have 'woman trouble'? Had it long?

You're obviously one of those right-winged geneticists, so popular in Switzerland and Germany during the war. What hole are you hiding under these days?

[baco1111]

The name of the movie is "Libertarias"

[tetabiakti]

@ Neji1315, if you want a servant instead of a companion, perhaps you should emigrate to Burqaland.

[Furculitza]

what is the movie name?

[onidia12silver]

Libertarias

[redwii23]

Truly inspirational.

I wish there was a group like the Free Women in my hometown. Prostitution is out of control downtown. Sad really.

[beargrizly67]

redwii23, Do not think that the prostitutes chose the life they lead? That they exercize they freedom by being prostitutes. And that those so called Free Women in fact are against freedom.

[evilmick66]

beargrizly67, They never forced prostitutes out of their profession. They simply opened the door and gave the oppurtunity to work in better ways. Posters would be outside of brothels, pleading the prostitutes to give up there profession. It was entirely their choice.

[sweetpotos]

I can only hope and dream about one day setting fire to christian relics and executing priests. All the while surrounded by my comrades, as we set about the glorious task of constructing a new society.

If only I should be so lucky...

[zdkm]

...and no USSR to screw it up.

[XxLIVRAxX]

Great, you should build a new fair and just society over a pile of bodies...I thought we had pass the horrors of the XX centhury behind...

[Gabb0123]

bodies of the rich

[besikes]

were getting there

in every small free moment we catch a breath of the new society

[Guardian223]

You'll probably be in hell with satan setting you on fire before that happens. LOL ! Gosh amighty the dark minds that are out there! !

[jackriter]

Actually most theologists concur that there is no such thing as hell in the Bible with the flames and everything. But rather that you just plain old die, and "hell" is that you don't get to experience heaven. Remember to "love your neighbor" for being so religious you're certainly being hypocrtitical.

But fuck you anyways.

[Guardian223]

Hell is a dogma of the Church and was shown to the children at Fatima. Yeah I know, you don't believe in Fatima which is your misfortune. The Spanish revolution was one of the worst, most barbaric 20th century religious persecutions and I can't help but feel intense anger over the leftist propaganda to demonize a hero like Franco. The media is controlled by the anti Christ which gives gross distortions of reality but the devil's time is growing short.

[jackriter]

You're fucking insane, maybe you should go live in a cave somewhere, the anti-christ can't get you there.

I'm happy for every fucking priest who got shot, and we should do more. Religion is a scourge on this planet, and it must be removed. I wish we had killed more of you fascists, and your fascist priests.

[Guardian223]

Tell it to the devil on the day of your judgement little man.

[chalk20]

I love that line,"They are whores too, but they do not charge." LOL!

Thanks for posting this clip! :)

[MEFISTOFELINA]

LIBERTARIAS es mi pelicula favorita!!!! gracias por subir este video, no podemos olvidarnos del 36'.

[rasavonwerder]

GAIA'S REVENGE is hitting men where it hurts, delicious irony that SHE is targeting Her comeback IN JUST THE RIGHT PLACE (the testicles men are going extinct low sperm counts & DEFORMED sperm) Woman can reproduce with other woman instead of cloning by having the 23 chromosomes from another female egg injected into her egg Two woman parenting is coming 'The Y chromosome is crumbling before our eyes' See Rasa Von Werder YouTube

[Neji1315]

An interesting notion. But lets just say that I think the bitch gene in women is really annoying, so I'll just genetically alter the egg of you bitchy liberal nonentities to make the Y chromozone extinct, and create a less bitchy, super submissive woman... yes, altering genitics is so much fun... bitch.

[nickvanzetti]

this isn't anti-religion. its anti-church or really anti-catholic church. i'm not religious but i doubt if the christ of the bible exists he would have nothing to do with these priests and churches. they are anti-christ. great post comrade!

[redwii23]

Jesus wasn't one for churches. He wanted his follows to pray in privacy and not be "as the hypocrits are." He supported Peace, Love, Freedom, Charity and Fraternity. How can the Church even dare claim to be continuing his legacy?

[CKY4211]

Is this just a collection of clips from a larger work? If so, what is the name and where could I find it?

[zerdu5t12]

yes, these are some scenes from the movie: "libertarias"

[ilargitxo2]

yes these are scenes from a spanish film called "Libertarias" and it is about the women who fighted in the spanish civil war who were called Libertarias. You can find it, mayb ein Netflix or in emule.

[BIGASSFUCKER]

this is awesome.. not just a magnificent story of anarchist women resistance but the acting is actually not half bad

[wog7]

Solid, minus the anti-religion tilt.

[Requiredfields2]

But....isn't that.....the......point????

my problem with is the whole thing sounds like a goddam speech, or preach, or whatever. how 'bout some subtlety, folks?

[wog7]

Oh yeah, AND the preachiness.

[ByPolarBear666]

Another Great Post! I can't wait to watch the next two in the series!
