      The details I do know, based on Instagram posts from both CNT Barcelona and their opposition, is that:

        Holy crap. This is awful. Totally against the ethos and culture of the entire organisation as I know it.

        Oh shit, that’s horrible. Do you happen to know how the CNT became so transphobic and started collaborating with police? Up until now I thought they were pretty cool (mostly because of the role they played in the spanish revolution).

          They have been like that for at least a decade. As with every anarchist movement, if the ones trying to impose hierarchy within it aren’t kept in check, it becomes reactionary.

          IIRC a few years ago a branch of the CNT (can’t remember if it was the same one) did a fucking eviction of their own comrades with the help of cops. Nasty bunch.
