The CNT enjoyed its finest hours prior to 1936 in this ferment, until disarray and internal factionalization within the movement itself, aided by a fair number of provocateurs, led to the wave of assassinations of both employers and of rival factional figures inside the CNT of Barcelona pistolerismo in the early 1920s.

These lines, excerpted from the 1936 organization report of the National Federation of Wholesale Butchers, (11) are indicative of the tense atmosphere prevailing in the ranks of the employers:
Their intention was to ask him to inform the corporation of their determination to be granted a paid holiday on the 1st of May (12) and simultaneously to made other demands.

 Algerian War Reading
According to that argument, the pursuit of the pluralist traditions of Algerian nationalism prior to 1954 appeared too feeble a means for breaking free of the ponderous weight of French tutelage (Slimane Chikh 1981).
In late 1955 the Front Republicain was victorious after an electoral campaign centered on "peace in Algeria." In February 1958, according to a poll by the Institut Francais d'Opinion Publique, or IFOP (French Institute of Public Opinion), the Algerian War placed sixth in the concerns of the French people.
In October 1960, in an opinion poll in Paris for the newspaper Afrique-Action, 59 percent of individuals queried thought that "de Gaulle cannot return peace without negotiating with the FLN"; 24 percent were of the opposite view.

By 1934, anarchists were again faced with an ideological and tactical dilemma: how to respond to the rising threat of fascism.
Most anarchists were happy with the reunification of socialists and communists within the CGT, even with increased communist influence, and welcomed the strikes of 1936 as the beginning of the massive rising of workers they had always espoused.
They were less content with the Matignon accords on collective bargaining, which they saw as a sell-out, ending any hope for a government-toppling general strike.

 The Mass Strike in France May-June 1968 -
For one thing, individuals' needs are not directly related to their contribution to production - young children and old people are obvious examples - and indeed the concept of "average social labor-time" may be appropriate only to a society geared to value-production.
For another, the problem may well be obsolete; given the immense productive power of modern technology, the realization of the slogan "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" seems closer to a practical possibility than to a distant goal.
During the night of May 13, at the instigation of militants of a trotskyite group (OCI)[13], 300 to 400 workers stopped work again; in the morning of the next day there were three half-hour stoppages, while the union delegates were received by the said Duvochel.
