Catalan Anarchist Movement

The Catalan Anarchist Movement emerged in early 20th-century Catalonia, advocating for a stateless society based on voluntary cooperation, workers' self-management, and abolition of oppressive hierarchies. Influenced by anarchist theories, it played a significant role in social and labor struggles, particularly through organizations like the CNT (National Confederation of Labor). The movement emphasized direct action, sabotage, and community-based organization, aiming to reshape society without centralized authority. It was especially active during periods of political upheaval, such as the Spanish Civil War, and remains a symbol of Catalan resistance to authoritarianism and capitalism.
