	Barcelona May Days - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		From 3 May to 8 May of 1937, factions on the "Republican" side of the Spanish Civil War engaged in violent street battles.
		Five days of street fighting ensued, with anarchist workers and POUM supporters building barricades and exchanging fire with the Civil Guard.
		The ultimate result of the battle was the further erosion of worker control of the city and the consolidation of government power over the major labor organizations in Catalonia, the CNT/FAI.

	Homage to Catalonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was in (a "so-called") hospital at Monflorite for ten days at the end of March with "a poisoned hand." He describes rats that "really were as big as cats, or nearly" (in his famous Nineteen Eighty-Four, Orwell's character Winston Smith has a phobia of rats that Orwell himself shared to some degree).
		The second half of this chapter is spent describing the conflict between the Anarchist CNT and the Socialist UGT and the resulting cancellation of the May Day demonstration and the build up to the street fighting of the Barcelona May Days.
		He returns to Barcelona only to find that the POUM had been "suppressed": it had been declared illegal the very day he had left to obtain discharge papers and POUM members were being arrested without charge.

	The May Days in Barcelona (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The May Days were the direct and immediate consequence of a monstrous provocation by the PSUC.
		In those circumstances, to present the events of May as a "fratricidal struggle", as a violent fight between "the two trade union centres", is a deliberate falsification, since everyone knows perfectly well that the fight arose between the revolutionary workers, including some in the UGT, and part of the police.
		The working class must learn the necessary lessons from the bloody May Days, which are bound to have an enormous significance for the future development of the Spanish revolution, if its generous sacrifice is not to be in vain.

		What has been called the ‘May Days of 1937’; in Barcelona are an event of this kind, independently of the fact that the event took place within one of the two opposing camps in the course of a civil war, the Spanish Civil War.
		The Barcelona workers were led by the elements organised in the ‘control patrols’ – the last vestiges of the workers’ militias for maintaining order in the rear – and by the defence committees.
		These days were the first stage in the unfolding of a counterrevolution, the first victims of which, a few weeks later, were to be the POUM itself and, in particular, its principal leader, the old revolutionary, Andres Nin.

	Pierre Broué: The "May Days" of 1937 in Barcelona - RH
		In May 1937 it was the Popular Front government of the Generalidad of Catalonia – under the pressure of the Stalinists in the PSUC – which took the counter-offensive.
		Leaders of the JCI (Jeunesses Communistes Internationalistes) and the committee for defence in north Barcelona organised a column, based on officer-cadets from the military academy, to seize the central headquarters of the PSUC and of the Generalidad.
		At the same time, the local committee of the POUM in Barcelona sharply criticised the executive of its party, which it accused of having ‘capitulated’ in the course of those days, in the face of the counter-revolution, under the pressure of the conciliatory leaders of the CNT.

		As the 21st century unfolds, we may be faced with new, different challenges that again may require the use -- or the threat -- of force.

	Barricades in Barcelona
		The April struggles and the May uprising were beacons for the workers, lighting the way to the certain destruction of fascism – the road to the proletarian dictatorship.
		On 15 May many of the workers’ barricades were still standing, prevented from being thrown down by those who understood what emergencies might arise, those who knew that the class issue had by no means been settled; that the near future held the possibility of bloodier class battles than the past May week had seen.
		May 1937 will be remembered in history as the first time that the Stalinists were on the bourgeois side of the barricades.

		And it was completely finished after the failure of the Spanish revolution, that is, after the Barcelona May days of 1937.
		Marx’s thought is obviously the first which must be rediscovered — a task that should not present much difficulty in view of the extensive existing documentation and the crudeness of the lies about it.

	Introduction
		But even if the secrets of Soviet policy were brought into broad daylight, it would be years before the British Communists admitted that they were in existence, for they have always been doggedly determined to hang onto the lies they told, and to accept the minimum modification once the truth became painfully obvious.
		As for the Barcelona May Days, first we were told that ‘Fascists in some parts at least of Republican territory were advised to join the POUM’, and that there was ‘a very strong indication that Fascist agents were involved in the putsch’.
		That the story has not been dropped since is shown by Alexander’s remarks that ‘the people of Barcelona — the heartland of Anarchism — did not support the POUM revolt against the Republic in May 1937’ (Alexander, op cit, p25).
