The Spanish Left: Illusion and Reality

Abstract

The present crisis of the Spanish Left-and it is a real crisis we shall be discussing-is the result of a whole series of complex problems, international as well as national. By national we mean primarily the growing lack of agreement between the policies and political activity of the parties of the traditional Left, and the actual situation in Spain. By international we refer to the crisis in the international workers' movement-the crisis of Stalinism, the Russo-Chinese controversy, the degeneration of Social-Democracy-all of which find an echo among the membership of the Spanish Workers' organizations.
