An example of anarchosyndicalist organisation:
|
|
|
|
'At a conference of local unions in Barcelona, the leadership sought and
|
|
obtained the support of the unions to continue to collaborate with the
|
|
government of Catalonia after the May Days. However, the unions refused
|
|
to withhold financial support for the Libertarian Youth, who opposed the
|
|
policy of collaboration vigorously in their publications. And the unions
|
|
also refused to call upon the transit workers not to distribute these
|
|
opposition publications in the public transit system, or the milk drivers
|
|
to stop distributing the Libertarian Youth papers together with the daily
|
|
milk.
|
|
|
|
And then I saw a Libertarian Youth conference which was prepared to vote
|
|
almost unanimously to condemn without debate the policy of government
|
|
collaboration. However, the chairman insisted that supporters of
|
|
collaboration be given a chance to speak and be heard. I saw six young
|
|
men go to the platform and argue earnestly and eloquently for their
|
|
viewpoint. There were no interruptions, no booing. The vote remained
|
|
almost unanimous in favour of opposing collaboration.'
