Where are you getting the "anarchists" part from? As far as I know, it isn't known exactly what group was behind the ransacking, and the sources you link only talks about "Vandals" and "revolutionary groups".
That quote of yours don't seem to be a verbatim quote?
- azulster 3y agosome people use anarchist as term similar to "vandal", "rioter" or "terrorist", just a rogue element at the time causing destruction or chaos.
- NoboruWataya 3y agoBut anarchists were a distinct and active political force in Spain during (and before) the Spanish Civil War. I suspect the page is talking about those anarchists. The Catholic Church was on Franco's side during the Civil War so a church wouldn't have been an unreasonable target for left-wing anarchists, though I have no idea if the claim is true.
- captaincaveman 3y agoYes, Anarchist were very much a specific thing in that context, not as its used today.
- zelphirkalt 3y agoI don't know how true to history the movie is, but if close, then "La Lengua de las mariposas" is a good example of basically anyone possibly being accused of being an anarchist at that time, if they were againt the Franco regime.
