Talk:May Days

message: Is it just me or is there something fundamentally wrong with the following sentece I have removed from the article:
She described the street-fighting in the context of a fascist anarchotrotskyist putsch ("anarchotrotskyist" is meant to include the POUM, a faction which the Stalinist Communists accused of being Trotskyist but which Trotsky himself repeatedly attacked.  POUM itself resented Trotskyism, and never defined itself in relation to him.)
Please return it if it's OK. Thanks. --Technopat (talk) 03:11, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unclear sentence 

message: The term Stalinist in slanderous and pejorative. You can say USSR-backed or Sovietphile, but the term Stalinist has been repeatedly rejected by Marxist-Leninists. If you don't change this, I will.

One of the few resources of this article is the propaganda work "Black Book of Communism". Not a surprise Trotskyist and anti-communists teaming together again. --Martxel Alexander (talk) 23:36, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Obvious POV 

message: I'm no expert on military history but were Stormtroopers really involved in this? Maybe it's just a term and I'm being stupid...

replies: text: Orwell refers to "shock troops" on the Republican side during the Jaca road fighting ... whether this refers to actual inflitration-assault troops with Hutier training (or equivalent) or something else... 31.185.62.135 (talk) 20:58, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stormtroopers? 

message: From Stanley G. Payne publications of Yale:
*Book 36-39: The anarchists did not view their ultimate insurrection as a civil war but as a kind of millennial takeover by the workers.
*Book 33-36:There were four principal sources of internal dissidence: 1) the revolutionary extreme left, especially (but not only) the anarchosyndicalists of the FAI-CNT, who at first sought to concentrate on social and economic revolution more than on the military effort; 2) Basque and Catalan nationalists, who sought to advance their own agendas, extending so far in the case of the Basques as the goal of outright separatism and attempted negotiation of the partition of Spain with foreign powers; 3) the Comintern and the PCE, which did not seek to impose a Communist regime but wished to dominate as much as possible, forming in 1937–38 a limited hegemony under Negr´ın; and 4) the growing opposition of the relative moderates, at first left Republicans and then more and moreofthe Socialists, who looked toward a negotiated peace and came increasingly to oppose Negrın and the Communists.
This is a historian view about the facts from a anti-communist prospective. Not an POV anarchist fringe theory as this article promote.Αντικαθεστωτικός (talk) 09:15, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

message: When historians have a different view.
Can we add what happened or for some reason Orwell's memoirs are more accurate than the most prominent historians? I had written the Greek article. Please have a look in my bibliography. Do you think it is better than Orwell's writings or not?Αντικαθεστωτικός (talk) 16:21, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: wikipedia voice is George Orwell fictional book [[Homage to Catalonia]]

message: It comes as a surprise to me. I have never seen it in another article. Primary sources are used to state facts. Also, Graham does not "heavily criticizes Orwell". Maybe not even Preston. He identifies some fallacies, but, as he writes: "Homage to Catalonia belongs in any list of important books on the Spanish civil war. It has informed opinion in the English-speaking world about the war – providing the inspiration, for instance, for Ken Loach’s Land and Freedom"Cinadon36 23:39, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Should we mention criticism to a primary source, within the main body of the article? 

message: Wikipedia article: 
*Although all parties had as main objective winning the war, the CNT, the Libertarian Youth and the POUM and other minor groups like the anarchist Friends of Durruti Group or the Trotskyist Bolshevik-Leninist Section of Spain had a clear revolutionary motivation.
Historian:
*the climax of the confrontation between those who wanted o n l y revolution and those who wanted to win the war.
But Wikipedia voice is based on anonymous users!!!!!
