El movimiento libertario español y sus manifestaciones políticas: El Partido Sindicalista como caso excepcional.

Abstract

In this article we analyze the Pestaña’s Syndicalist Party (SP) to better clarify some of the doctrinal contours of the heterogeneous libertarian movement. To do this, we first define a framework, understanding the libertarian movement as a political culture where we have established antipoliticism as one of its fundamental principles. Subsequently, after reviewing some of the political manifestations of the libertarian movement, we completed that framework by observing how this principle was reviewed in its practices to achieve its goals. With the study of SP’s primary sources we observe how it also emerged by reviewing anarchist antipoliticism as an instrument to achieve its objectives, but finally it went further and eliminated it from its final goals. We conclude that the SP was born as another political expression of the Spanish libertarian movement, but after its evolution it ended up breaking with the doctrinal minimums that linked it to this movement.
