In this talk from the main rally at Revolution Festival 2019, Alan Woods - editor of In Defence of Marxism - discusses his new book on the revolutionary movement that overthrew the Franco regime in Spain in the 1970s.

Based on his own personal experiences and involvement, Alan explains how the movement to overthrow the Franco regime was a modern-day revolution, with the working class providing the motor force for change.

And as with any revolutionary movement, Alan discusses, this period is full of vital lessons for a new generation coming into political activity today.

The remnants of the Franco regime live on still inside the modern bourgeois Spanish state. In this respect, as Alan concludes, "it is our duty to ensure that this unfinished revolution will be carried to a successful conclusion".

Every time I learn about the Spanish Civil War and the Franco regime, I feel the lies told to me by my Catholic family and schooling get washed away. Just finished Morrow's book, definitely going to need to prioritize this one soon

Great talk, fantástico ver que la historia de la lucha antifranquista obrera está siendo difundido en el mundo angloparlante, discrepo únicamente en el punto relativo al pueblo catalán, actualmente en Cataluña la "resistencia " defiende la clase dominante, la burguesía del 3%, pero gracias, espero leer tu libro en breve
