Don't get me wrong, I love the Spanish anarchists. Their story is very romantic and inspiring. However, they didn't exactly succeed no? The Spanish put up a solid resistance to fascism but in doing so they had to abandon quite a few of their ideals. I mean they had labor camps yk? They had to a build a semi-state apparatus in order to survive and I think that really undermines the message here.

I'd suggest you check out [an anarchist FAQ's answer to the question, "Does revolutionary Spain show that libertarian socialism can work in practice?"](https://anarchistfaq.org/afaq/sectionI.html#seci8).
