What are some good leftist places to visit in....

[JAH23]

I'm traveling to Europe this summer, specifically Barcelona and Paris and am wondering what are some good historical sites to visit that have to do with radical leftism. I would love to visit places in Spain that have to do with the CNT FAI, and places in Paris that were relevant to the Paris Commune. I'll be in Paris for three days, and Barcelona for two days, and would absolutely love suggestions for anywhere in these cities that have to do with leftism. Thanks, JAH.

in barcelona you can go to the telephone exchange building that sparked the may days and see bullet holes. there are also some random plaques up of various anarchist militants. you can see a theater where an anarchist bombed some bourgeois theater goers, and a replica of the bomb in a nearby infoshop. montjuic cemetary has the graves of durruti, ferrer and some other notable anarchists and is very large and gorgeous besides.

ah! i would absolutely love to see durruti's grave. in general, i am excited to be in a place with such a rich leftist history, unlike where i am now.

Don't let the shadow of the past hold the future hostage.

or something


Seriously, visit the grave of Durruti.

Similar issue for me: I'm visiting London and Amsterdam this summer. Any tips on anarchist or leftist sites to go see?

Amsterdam has a lot of Squats, for a list of activities take a look here (http://radar.squat.net/index.php).

There's also the 'Dokwerker' monument remembering the February General Strike (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_strike) in protest against anti-jewish measures.
