  Communist Party
The Communist Party (PCE) in Spain was founded in November, 1921 by dissident members of the Socialist Party, the National Confederation of Trabajo (CNT) and the Union General de Trabajadores (UGT).
The clue to the behaviour of the Communist Party in any country is the military relation of that country, actual or potential, towards the USSR In England, for instance, the position is still uncertain, hence the English Communist Party is still hostile to the National Government, and, ostensibly, opposed to rearmament.
The Communist party, which has attracted some of the more politically conscious elements of the working class, is, all the same, insufficiently organized and politically strong to take on even to the slightest degree the political work for the armed forces of the revolution.

  Workers' Party of Marxist Unification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The party was formed by the fusion of the Trotskyist Left Communists of Spain (ICE) and the Workers and Peasants Bloc (BOC) against the will of Leon Trotsky, with whom the former broke.
During the Spanish Civil War the party began to grow in popularity and alongside the anarchist National Confederation of Workers (CNT) commanded the support of most of the proletariat in the zone not controlled by the fascists during the war.
These divisions, particularly the false accusation of Trotskyism by the communists, manifested themselves in actual fighting between their supporters, most notably in the events of May 1937 in Barcelona where the POUM was attacked by a mostly-communist coalition of government forces.

 Spanish Socialist Workers' Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (Partido Socialista Obrero Español or PSOE) is one of the main parties of Spain.
González was from the renovating wing of the party, and his victory was a defeat for the historic or veteran wing of the party.

 George Orwell Biography - A Biography of George Orwell
As a sympathiser of the Independent Labour Party (of which he became a member in 1938), he joined the militia of its sister party in Spain, the non-Stalinist far-left POUM (Workers' Party of Marxist Unification), in which he fought as an infantryman.
In Homage to Catalonia he described his admiration for the apparent absence of a class structure in the revolutionary areas of Spain he visited.
He also depicted what he saw as the betrayal of that workers' revolution in Spain by the Spanish Communist Party, abetted by the Soviet Union and its secret police, after its militia attacked the anarchists and the POUM in Barcelona in May 1937.

As with the Communist Manifesto, Callinicos’s programme is the polar opposite of that elaborated by Trotsky.
Yet in the aftermath of the war, the SWP inaugurated a political project which again insisted that the construction of a new party must be grounded on opposition to the open advocacy of socialist policies and a concentration on minimal democratic demands that would appeal to all classes.
Its signatories are the SWP, the RESPECT-Unity Coalition, and the Scottish Socialist Party from Britain, the LCR from France and similar radical groups from Portugal, Denmark, Greece, Luxemburg, Spain and Catalonia.

Republican parties re-emerged; a large anarchist movement took root among farm labourers in Andalusia and industrial workers in Barcelona; a small but solid socialist movement appeared in factories and mines in the Basque region and Asturias; and regionalist sentiments in Catalonia grew into demands for autonomy.
Greater worker prosperity brought rapid social change: there was massive migration from rural to urban areas; secondary and university education expanded enormously; and the people became more secularized and sophisticated as their exposure to contemporary ways of life increased.
Although the Socialist Workers Party and González were returned to office in the elections of 1986 and 1989, industrial workers now became the most dissatisfied sector of society because of high inflation and unemployment.

Parties are also given smaller sums for each vote received by their candidates, provided that at least one candidate is elected.
One of the effects of this system is that parties able to demonstrate probable electoral success are able to obtain loans to finance their campaigns based on their expected subsidies.
Only the names of an individual party and its leader appear on ballots, with the exception of those of the Senate, for which a multiparty list is used, and voters choose any three candidates.

 Libertarian Socialism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW, or "Wobblies") were an anarcho-syndicalist labor union that was prominent in labor struggles in early 20th century America.
The IWW made use of militant tactics in order to effect their demands for improvement in worker's conditions, including sabotage, and popularized the "wildcat strike", a sudden, unannounced work stoppage, as a means of fighting.
The Wobblies were openly revolutionary (as many labor unions were at the time) and saw their struggle for worker's rights only as a tool towards the eventual worker takeover of factories that the syndicalists envisioned at the time.

 Wildcat Spain Encounters Democracy
Within a movement that carries forward all the workers in a factory and that unmasks those who speak in their name and who stifle their struggle, it is enough that the workers impose direct control in the general assembly.
The workers can then appropriate as a new need the need for communication; and so what in the beginning appeared as a means changes into an end in itself, namely, direct communication that overcomes the purely defensive struggle against representations and that abolishes the conditions of separation that has made representation necessary.
The workers assembled in the church to listen, yet again, to the legalistic placebos of the choir-masters, who insisted that the police would not enter the church "because the authorities would not permit it." The workers missed their chance to retreat voluntarily, despite a valiant attempted diversion by those outside.

And all that was thoroughly confirmed when the mainstream Leftist parties of the various European countries lined up behind their respective national governments in World War I. So it was nationalism and patriotism rather than class-struggle that would most move the workers.
Both the major Leftist parties there (the Australian Labor Party and the British Labour Party) are perfectly patriotic parties which express pride in their national traditions and achievements.
That is of course not remotely to claim that either of the parties concerned is a Nazi or an explicitly Fascist party.

Homage to Catalonia was my first encounter with the history of anarchism as a mass social movement, as a potential alternative to Leninism, and not just as the actions of a few brave and lonely individuals who had assassinated a handful of ruling class thugs.
Politicians and political parties propose different management strategies for capital, but regardless of their differences, Alan Greenspan and Medea Benjamin, the Fox Network and Adbusters, Fidel Castro, the ecology lobby and the most bedraggled college campus socialist groups all agree -- a world based on wage-slavery is here to stay.
To the German left communists the concept of the dictatorship of the proletariat, which is a fundamental and necessary element of revolutionary politics, meant the absolute social power of the revolutionary mass movement itself against the capitalist system, and against those who would defend it or restore it.

Battalions from Catalonia and the Levante region were also sent by the POUM to the Central zone during the height of the assault on Madrid by Franco’s troops in November 1936.
Due to the party’s predominance in Catalonia, the bulk of its fighters were dispatched to the nearby Aragon front, where they took part in the conquest of a series of villages and positions around Huesca and to the north east of Zaragoza.

 The Militant - April 13, 2004 -- Spain ‘antiterror’ drive targets workers’ rights
The Socialist Party (PSOE) government of Felipe González, which preceded the Aznar administration, was particularly notorious for its repression against the Basque movement.
Among those helping mobilize a large turnout for “antiterrorist” demonstrations after the bombings were the two main trade union federations—Workers’ Commissions (CC.OO.), led by the Communist Party, and the General Workers Union (UGT), led by the PSOE.
and UGT blamed “the terrorist ETA group.” The union officials called on workers to join a 15-minute “moment of silence” in order to “express solidarity with the victims and their families and roundly condemn terrorism.” They urged participation in nationwide government-sponsored mobilizations March 12.
