A sepia photo of women with a man or two in the background. The women are mostly smiling and wearing peaked gorillo caps. A woman on the right is holding a carbine rifle.

wearing a relevant kilt today.

Slightly relevant: from the river to the sea

PS: Catalans hate zionists

Such a force surely has great songs written about it. Damn shame I don't speak Spanish.

George Orwell was there, and wrote a whole book on it - https://files.libcom.org/files/Homage%20to%20Catalonia%20-%20George%20Orwell.pdf

Spoiler: the bolsheviks betrayed all the other leftists and then lost the war to the fascists. There's a high chance everyone in this picture met a bad end.
