well, there are a lot of anarchist collectives in the spanish civil war, i 'm spanish and i know a lot about this area, and only say that the most important anarchist collective was the official anarchist movemente in spain since 1910 and continue nowadays and is the C.N.T. ( Confederacion Nacional del Trabajo or Working National Confederation) which is the most important anarchist movemente in spais, as i said before. Also, in the war had a great importance other movemente, the F.A.I.( Federacion Anrquista Iberica or Iberic Anarchist Federation) who was in that moment an anarchist movement, a part of the CNT, but the F.A.I., was more dedicated to the anarchist aspect and the C.N.T., was more orientated to the sindicalism with anarchist ideology. Also, inside this movements detached a lot of important anarchist people like Buenaventura Durruti, Enrique Lister, Francisco Ascaso, Federica Montseny.....
But in sumary the direction of the anarchist movment in the spanish civil war and in spais , was in the anarchist movemente C.N.T.-F.A.I., founded in diferent ages, the C.N.T., was founded in 1910 in Barcelona and the F.A.I., was founded in 1927, under miguel primo de rivera's dictatorship

"We are going to inherit the earth . There is not the slightest doubt about that. The bourgeoisie may blast and burn its own world before it finally leaves the stage of history. We Are not afraid of ruins. We who ploughed the prairies and built the cities can build again, only better next time. We carry a new world, here in our hearts. That world is growing this minute."
----Durruti

When Franco's fascist troops invaded Spain in July 1936 with the purpose of overthrowing the young and unstable Republic, the Spanish working class responded by making a revolution that went much further toward realizing the classless and stateless ideal of proletarian socialism than any preceding popular revolt. Spontaneously and almost overnight, workers seized factories and other workplaces; land was collectivized; workers' militias were formed throughout the country; the church--age-old enemy of all workingclass radicalism and indeed, openly profascist--was dismantled, and its property confiscated; established political institutions disintegrated or were taken over by workers' committees.

_________________

Supporting the workers' revolution were Spain's largest unions, the anarcho-syndicalist Confederacion Nacional del Trabajo (National Confederation of Labor: CNT) and its rival, the Union Generale de Trabajadores (General Union of Workers: UGT), largely led by the Socialist Party (then in a markedly Left phase), as well as such revolutionary groups as the Iberian Anarchist Federation, the independent Workers Party of Marxist Unity (POUM), and a small nucleus of Trotskyists. The Spanish Communist Party, however, and many socialists, maintained that Spain was not historically ripe for an anticapitalist revolution and openly declared themselves for the bourgeois republic. After Franco secured military assistance from Hitler's Germany and Mussolini's Italy, the Spanish Communist Party (CP), which, in the early days of the revolution, had been a small sect, rapidly became a major power in the land as Stalin's Russia sent numerous military officers and political advisers, as well as some military aid, to shield the fragile remnant of the republican government

During the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), 2,800 American volunteers took up arms to defend the Spanish Republic against a military rebellion led by General Franco and aided by Hitler and Mussolini. To the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, which fought from 1937 through 1938, the defense of the Republic represented the last hope of stopping the spread of international fascism.

I never expected there to be an 'Abraham Licoln Brigade' So sad the spanish revolution was crushed.
