Buenaventura Durruti
Buenaventura Durruti was a prominent Spanish anarchist and revolutionary leader during the early 20th century. Born on July 14, 1896, in Barcelona, he became known for his role in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), where he led a militia of anarchists fighting against the Fascist forces. Durruti was a key figure in the CNT (National Confederation of Labor), advocating for workers' rights and social justice.
Durruti's commitment to anarchism and his belief in a stateless society made him a symbol of resistance. He died on November 20, 1936, during a battle in Madrid, and his legacy continues to inspire anarchists and social movements worldwide. His life and actions are often remembered as a testament to the struggle for freedom and equality.
