debe incluir contexto sobre la guerra para aquellos que no saben nada al respecto.

1930, the Pact of San Sebastian was signed by the republicans, socialists and other
opposition groups. This stated their commitment to overthrow the monarchy and

both the democrats and republicans, replace the local governing bodies, and attempt to
restore the restoration. The overwhelming victory, in urban areas, of the republican and
socialist candidates sent the king into exile and the proclamation of the Republic on
Almost a month later, on May 10 and May 13, 1931, over one hundred convents
in Madrid were deliberately burned down by anarchists in Spain during riots after a
monarchist group played a recording of the former national anthem in the Calle de

Anti-Spain? Tradition? The historic traditions of the Altamiran, Iberian, Celtic, Gothic,
Arabic, Catholic kings, Hispanic, Hasburgian, Bourbon, liberal Cortes Cádiz, civil wars,
republican and all one, with its fertile, intimate contradictions1.
Service, obedience. To know how to obey you must have intelligence, interpret the
command. The clumsy platoon. What happened to the Valladolid Falangists in Alto del
Leon was insane; they surrendered to death like donkeys.2
Channing, he who believes too much - and without graduation; at the same level as
God and soul immortality as the latest dogmatic superstition - ends up not believing
anything. Lacks critical and dialectical sense. Vulgar, materialist realism.
