Its title states the message directly: the C.N.T., A.I.T., and F.A.I. denounce military "matonismo," a Spanish word for bullying or thuggish force, and claim the invincible strength of the proletariat. Issued by the Levante regional labor federation of the National Confederation of Labour, the anarchist-aligned union, it dates from the Civil War years, 1936 to 1939. Posters like this were used across Republican Spain to rally union members and militias and to present workers' organizations as a counterweight to abuses by the army.
