*From The Archives Of The “ Revolutionary History” Journal-Hugo Oehler-Eyewitness-"Barricades in Barcelona (May Days, 1937)"

Click on the headline to link to the “Revolutionary History” Journal entry listed in the title.

Markin comment:

Hugo Oehler is an interesting character in the revolutionary movement of the 1930's, including a stint in what would later become the American Socialist Workers Party. James Cannon, historic SWP leader, had some interesting things to say about Oehler and his politics ("History Of American Trotskyism") but I will do a separate entry on him later. This eyewitness account is fairly good. Cannon also noted that Oehler's best work was done in the mass struggles. That seems about right based on the material presented here.
