French philosopher, anti-fascist and anarchist Simone Weil in 1936 as part of the Sébastien Faure Century, the French/Italian contingent of the Durruti Column during the Spanish Civil War. Simone Weil was born in Paris, France, 3 February 1909 and died in Ashford, Kent, United Kingdom, 24 August 1943.

She was so ardent that she was doing the right thing (she was) by fighting in the Durruti Column...however, her eyesight was so bad that she was taken off of machine gun duty (while killing is one of the aims of war, mowing down your own side because even with glasses you're kinda hopeless and also a bit of a klutz is generally seen as not great) and asked to take care of the camp, where she would be less danger to herself and the rest of the column. She proved them all wrong by severely burning herself while cooking with a large pot of oil. Her burns were so bad that she was sent back from the lines and her parents (who had been waiting just over the border in France) went to pick her up (with the full cooperation of CNT/FAI folks who were just like..."Simone's got spirit, but...maybe she should have spirit somewhere else."

An excerpt from George Orwell's book Homage to Catalonia;

To anyone who had been there since the beginning it probably seemed even in December or January that the revolutionary period was ending; but when one came straight from England the aspect of Barcelona was something startling and overwhelming. It was the first time that I had ever been in a town where the working class was in the saddle.

Practically every building of any size had been seized by the workers and was draped with red flags or with the red and black flag of the Anarchists; every wall was scrawled with the hammer and sickle and with the initials of the revolutionary parties; almost every church had been gutted and its images burnt. Churches here and there were being systematically demolished by gangs of workmen.

Every shop and café had an inscription saying that it had been collectivized; even the bootblacks had been collectivized and their boxes painted red and black. Waiters and shop-walkers looked you in the face and treated you as an equal. Servile and even ceremonial forms of speech had temporarily disappeared. Nobody said ‘Señior’ or ‘Don’ or even ‘Usted’; everyone called everyone else ‘Comrade’ and ‘Thou’, and said ‘Salud!’ instead of ‘Buenos dias’.
