Introduction to Key Ideologies
- The video discusses the main ideological currents among workers and peasants in Spain during the 19th century, particularly focusing on anarchism and socialism.
- It highlights that these ideologies gained significant traction similar to other Central and Western European countries.
Anarchism in Spain
- Anarchism was introduced to Spain during the Democratic Sexenio (1868-1874) by Giuseppe Fanelli, a disciple of Mikhail Bakunin.
- This movement focused on recruiting followers and engaging in terrorist actions, leading to its clandestine nature due to government persecution.
- Despite challenges, anarchism became the most influential workers' ideology during the Restoration period, especially among Andalusian peasants and Catalan factory workers.
Socialism's Emergence
- The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), founded by Pablo Iglesias in 1879, combined Marxist revolutionary ideas with more pragmatic electoral participation strategies.
- In 1888, the General Union of Workers (UGT), a socialist-oriented union, emerged alongside PSOE to advocate for proletariat rights through organized labor efforts.
