If you want to understand the #SpanishCivilWar's complexities, I strongly recommend Revolution and the State, by Danny Evans. He describes the large #anarchist #movement centered in #Catalonia, and how a multitude of organizations & strategic tendencies existed during the #CivilWar. While #anarchism struggled due to a lack of assistance from Western countries, and attacks by both fascists & Stalinists, compromises (e.g., joining the gov't) also forestalled the #SocialRevolution.

The 1971 novel MRS. FRISBY AND THE RATS OF NIMH by Robert C. O'Brien is a #SocialJustice #SocialRevolution #ClimateCrisis #socialist story.

I first read that book 37 years ago, and I just now realized this.

Yes, I'm obsessed. I'm obsessed with social revolution in the same way that a person would be obsessed with climbing out of a hole that they're trapped in. "Why are you so obsessed? Just calm down and relax, " some would say, but it's easy for them to say that because they're either not in the hole themselves, or they are in the hole, but they've deluded themselves into believing that being in the hole is a good thing.
