International Review was not edited by Paul Mattick (he just wrote the occasional article for them) nor could it be described as "council communist". It was basically more "anti-Bolshevik Marxist" and published the first English translations of Luxemburg's Reform or Revolution and Martov's The State and the Socialist Revolution.There's another good article on Spain here that was first published in Wildcat in 1986:http://www.af-north.org/Subversion/subversion_18.htm#spainIt was originally published under the title "Spain '36; The End of Anarchism?" This version republished in Subversion and put on the internet by the Anarchist Federation (ex Anarchist Communist Federation) has the title to "Spain 36, the End of Anarcho-Syndicalism?" I don't know whether it was Subversion or the AF who changed the title (probably the AF). From our point of view of course the original title was better.It's been translated into French (in issue No 30 of our then French-language publication Socialisme Mondial) and Portuguese so we already have a ready-to-hand introduction in these languages to our criticism of "self-managed capitalism" (revived today by such groups as Michael Albert's Parecon).
