Editing Spanish Revolution of 1936 (section)

===== Policy =====

====== Decision making ======
Following libertarian practices, the collectives were governed by structures that can be described as "from the bottom up". That is, all decisions and appointments were made in assembly.{{sfn|Leval|1975|p=255}} In these assemblies all issues concerning the people were discussed. In these same assemblies the progress of the community and the actions to be taken were debated.

======Federalism======
On a broader organizational level, the communities aspired to organize themselves into federations, following the example of Aragon. There were congresses in favor of the creation of federations of collectives, but in no case was a more elaborate body than in Aragon ever constituted. There were other cases of federalism, such as [[CLUEA]], the managing body for citrus exports in the [[Levante, Spain|Levante]].

Among the collectivities there was also exchange, either in the form of barter, with their own paper money or with official currency.

====== Environmentalism ======
The Spanish Revolution undertook several environmental reforms that were possibly the largest in the world at the time. [[Daniel Guérin]] notes that anarchist territories would diversify crops, extend [[irrigation]], initiate [[reforestation]], and start tree nurseries.{{sfn|Guerin|1970|p=134}} Once there was a link discovered between air pollution and tuberculosis, the CNT shut down several metal factories.<ref>{{cite news |first=Iain |last=McKay |title=Objectivity and Right-Libertarian Scholarship |date=2009-01-20 |url=http://anarchism.pageabode.com/anarcho/caplan.html}}</ref>
