July 2016 marks the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the Spanish Civil War, in which the workers of Spain rose up spontaneously in an attempt to defeat the fascist forces of General Franco. To commemorate this historic event, we publish here a recording from the Red October 2015 weekend school, in which Jorge Martin of the International Marxist Tendency discusses the lessons of the Spanish Revolution of 1931-37, and explains their relevance to the situation in Spain today.
