Read Homage to Catalonia
Like living in a shithole where nothing functioned and neckbeards were burning churches.

Like living in a dysfunctional society because anarchism doesn't work.

>It was a world of instant friendship, with the formal expression of address no longer being used. Foreigners were welcomed and the anti-fascist cause was explained repeatedly.
>All around a heady atmosphere of excitement and optimism prevailed. Gerald Brenan said that visitors to Barcelona in the autumn of 1936 would never forget the moving and uplifting experience. Foreigners who gave a tip had it returned politely with an explanation of why the practice corrupted both the giver and the receiver. Probably the greatest contrast between Madrid and Barcelona was in the use of hotels. In the capital Gaylords was later taken over by the Communist Party as a luxurious biller for its senior functionaries and Russian advisors. In Barcelona the Ritz was used by the CNT and the UGT as Gastronomic Unit Number One - a public canteen for all those in need.

Oh how wonderful. So a nice hotel was turned into a shitty pleb cafeteria. Amazing.
Well imagine living in some lawless hell run by the absolute edgiest of SJWs running around killing anyone who disagrees with them. Oh look a rosary in your house in historically ultra-Catholic Spain, better shoot you evil shitlord oppressor. Sure everyone participated because...you'll join the CNT won't you comrade? Only a fascist reactionary wouldn't and you know what we do to them.
Thankfully that crap only lasted a few months before even commies realized this madness had to be shut down.

How come the people who call samefag are literally never right? It takes a special kind of retard to think only one person would ever disagree with you.

Ironically, that isn't far from true. Except that actual war didn't even reach Catalonia until late 1938.
In the first year they were too busy dicussing ideoligy, starting communes, and sending party columns when and where the political-military leader of each militia felt like, meanwhile Franco was rolling over the South and cucking the Basque Country and Asturias after his advance being repelled in Madrid.

how do you know nothing functioned?
orwel wrote the place was a mess in some senses, higher level coordination, discipline, logistics, but that people actualy maintained most important stuff in a functional woking order considering they were in the middle of a civil war
