Durruti, Buenaventura

One of the most prominent libertarian communist militants at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) was Buenaventura Durruti. Durruti was an anarchosyndicalist CNT (Confederacion Nacional del Trabajo) member, and a skillful militant and tactician, and possessed an intense drive and sense of solidarity with the working class of Spain at the time when the Fascist forces of General Franco staged a military coup, taking over much of the country.
