Nosotros (group)
''Nosotros'' () was a Spanish anarchist militant group during the period of the Second Spanish Republic in the 1930s. The group was a reorganisation of ''Los Solidarios'', a militant group that had resisted the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera. After the proclamation of the Republic, ''Nosotros'' quickly came into conflict with the new government of Spain and provoked a number of insurrections during the early 1930s. Group members were deported following the Alt Llobregat insurrection of January 1932. The group, led by Joan Garcia Oliver, then incited the anarchist insurrection of January 1933. Following the 1933 Spanish general election, the group split over whether to carry out another insurrection, with Garcia Oliver calling for a focus on organisation, while Buenaventura Durruti went to Zaragoza to lead the anarchist insurrection of December 1933. Many of the group's members were arrested during the Revolution of 1934, but managed to reorganise. They then shifted away from i ...

Insurrectionary anarchists put value in attack, permanent class conflict and a refusal to negotiate or compromise with class enemies. Associated closely with the Anarchism in Italy, Italian anarchist movement, the theory of insurrectionary anarchism has historically been linked with a number of propaganda of the deed, high-profile assassinations, as well as the bombing campaigns of the Galleanisti and Informal Anarchist Federation (FAI).
