 Buenaventura Durruti by Peter E Newell
Durruti took an active and prominent part in the strike which, after the government had refused to accept the terms agreed between the employers and the Union, became a general strike throughout the area.
Brenan says that both Ascaso and Durruti were fanatics who, through their feats of daring, made themselves the heroes of the Catalan proletariat; they were the 'saints of the anarchist cause', showing the way by their example.
Moreover, Durruti also ate and slept with everyone else; and when there was a shortage of anything, such as mattresses or shoes, he went without the same as everybody else.

 DEAD DRUNK DUBLIN stories the last man by darran anderson
On the way home he got to thinking of the dead man. He was like a different race to the other old men who repeated tired old jokes over and over as the mechanisms in their head slowly, slowly ground to a halt.
Newspaper cuttings revealed that the old man had been a volunteer in the International Brigades, the Connolly Column who had gone to fight fascism, battle the night and fog and forge the revolution, to be tortured and die amongst olive grooves and sierras fighting for the ghost republic in the name of human decency.
In that room beneath a sky that fell into infinity past archipelagos of stars the boy silently uncovered the mirrors so that the dead would see that they are dead and the living would see that they are alive.

Yet even on this subject, reality of Emma's politics can be seen through the whitewash he covers them with.
Yet Selfa attacks her decision to expose the truth about Leninist Russia, stating that the capitalist press printed "her denunciations of the Bolsheviks throughout the 1920s as evidence that one of 'them' had realized the error of her ways." Whatever happened to Gramsci's famous words that "telling the truth is a revolutionary act"?
Yet, at this time Berkman was still in Bolshevik Russia and was struggling with the reality of the Bolshevik dictatorship and whether his support for the revolution against the capitalist counter-revolution could be squared with his support for the Bolsheviks.
