Shit! I've thrown everything into it. 400 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:47,880 - Miguel, what would you like to say? - I'd like to say to our friend here 401 00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,992 that it's very good that he wants to work his own land, 402 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:56,274 but how much better it would be if we all worked it together. 403 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,550 When the harvest is ready, 404 00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:03,356 are you going to eat all the wheat, and all the potatoes? 405 00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:13,271 We need everything to be able to keep the revolution going. 406 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:17,154 The revolution has to be done this way. 407 00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:22,718 - Don't wait for tomorrow. - José, it's not only a question of land. 408 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,474 The revolution is like a pregnant cow. 409 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,477 If we don't help out, 410 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:41,277 the cow and its calf will be gone and the children will be left hungry. 411 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:49,792 Remember that comrades, boys, died in this battle. 412 00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:53,993 We must collectivise. Do you understand me? The people must eat. 413 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,714 This struggle we've started has to continue. 414 00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,912 There are those who are the way they are, 415 00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:05,273 and there are those who know how to work and people who don't... 416 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:08,437 I've got what I've got because I work. 417 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,115 Hold on. Paco's turn. 418 00:47:12,240 --> 00:47:17,030 It's fundamental that we improve our harvests. 419 00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,116 We must grow more. 420 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:24,075 Other villages have done it 421 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,636 by working all the land as one. 422 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:38,559 With a tractor you can do five times more work in one day than you can with a mule. 423 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,110 There's evidence from other villages that it's working. 424 00:47:58,240 --> 00:48:01,232 I believe we have to take over private property. 425 00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:04,238 No one's got anything... 426 00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:05,952 We could pool all our resources 427 00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,469 and depending on each person's situation we could share it out. 428 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:10,875 If you need a cow, you'll get one. 429 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:17,348 We've all got four or five kids and we've all bust a gut working, just like you. 430 00:48:23,240 --> 00:48:26,312 We've got militia comrades here 431 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:30,956 who may know what's happening elsewhere. 432 00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,799 They've helped us here. 433 00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:37,673 Pepe's right. 434 00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:43,477 Our friends from the militia will have seen what's happened in other villages. 435 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:48,594 This is an open meeting. You can speak, too. 436 00:48:48,720 --> 00:48:53,669 Your opinions are as welcome as any of ours. Please speak. 437 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:58,635 It's your village, you have to decide. It's your decision. 438 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:11,398 OK, this is what I think, and if anybody disagrees they should just say so right out. 439 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,436 OK. You should take this estate, this house, this land, 440 00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:21,315 and divide it up amongst the people in the town right away. 441 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:28,833 OK? The decree passed by the Republican government in October allows for that. 442 00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:34,393 It says, "All property owned by individuals involved in the insurrection 443 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,476 will be confiscated." 444 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,799 All the landowners help Franco. 445 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:47,596 We must collectivise all their lands. You understand? 446 00:49:47,720 --> 00:49:50,280 I understand. I understand that. 447 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:54,632 I'm not a friend of the landowner, OK? I'm not here to defend landowners, OK? 448 00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,274 But what are you gonna do with... Pepe? 449 00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:01,871 What are you gonna do with Pepe, who is a tenant farmer with a couple of acres, 450 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:05,595 or a tradesman who doesn't want to be part of your collective, OK? 451 00:50:05,720 --> 00:50:08,314 These people are anti-fascists. What do you do? 452 00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,637 It sounds great on paper, but in reality it won't work, 453 00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:15,070 because it will pit the peasants against the anti-fascists. 454 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,192 You're fighting. It will endanger food production. 455 00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,357 Lawrence, I think that private ownership of land 456 00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:25,393 must be totally given up, forgotten, cancelled. 457 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,876 Because it maintains people in a capitalist mentality. 458 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:30,991 I agree. OK? I agree. 459 00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:33,475 I'm not here to argue for private property. 460 00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:37,070 I know the definition of private property. I'm not arguing that. 461 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:42,672 This is not the time for textbook arguments on land reform. We have to defeat fascism. 462 00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:48,591 Are you expecting this man to speak about the textbook of socialism? 463 00:50:48,720 --> 00:50:50,676 No, I'm not. 464 00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,709 I'm agreeing with him. I'm agreeing with the collectivisation. 465 00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:59,958 But these people cannot collectivise anything if they're dead. OK? 466 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:03,117 - Well, this is your opinion. - They asked for my opinion. 467 00:51:03,240 --> 00:51:10,078 In my village, the people didn't wait for the government to give them land. They took it. 468 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:28,912 I want you to think beyond this village, OK? At a much bigger picture. 469 00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,876 OK? I have no doubt that the Spanish people, on their own, 470 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,150 could have licked Franco. 471 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:47,793 But you're not fighting just Franco. You have Mussolini and Hitler on your back. 472 00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:54,156 OK? Except Russia and Mexico, the rest of the world has turned its back on you. 473 00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,716 OK? They refuse to sell the Republic arms. 474 00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:07,076 OK? These are capitalist countries. They're capitalist countries. 475 00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:13,639 If you want help, you have to moderate your slogans. You're scaring them away. 476 00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:30,188 I'm from Germany. We wanted revolution, and what happened? 477 00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:34,279 We'd been the strongest movement in Europe, 478 00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,630 the best organised worker's movement. 479 00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:41,151 There were six million of us in unions, 480 00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,669 and what happened? Hitler. 481 00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:51,513 The socialists and the communists told us 482 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,074 to make our revolution later. 483 00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,713 But I say make the revolution now. 484 00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:07,910 When people see as the village sees 485 00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:11,237 that you can be in charge of your life, your land, 486 00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,511 when collectivisation becomes a reality, 487 00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:20,476 it'll be possible for people in Germany, Italy, to follow our example. 488 00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:30,713 These people think they have something, but they have nothing. 489 00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:34,753 But we have to show to the people that we have, we have... 490 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:37,838 We're poor but we're alive and we've got power now, 491 00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,758 we don't have to be seized by fear. 492 00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:45,032 We're alive, we'll die when our time comes, but... 493 00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:55,789 Our French worker people are looking for us in Spain, 494 00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,514 probably all around the world. 495 00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:06,228 And I think it's not the right time to fight each other, but together. 496 00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:15,631 Now, all of us know the price of the freedom, and we've lost a lot of friends. 497 00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:20,754 Gene, your ideas are very seductive, but I've got one question for you. 498 00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:25,032 Who are you trying to appease? Foreign governments, foreign bankers. 499 00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:29,790 What is a revolution? It's a radical change in privilege, wealth and power. 500 00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:31,797 What's gonna happen? 501 00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:35,230 The only way we'll appease them, when the ideas are diluted 502 00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,316 till they mean absolutely nothing. 503 00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:41,956 Now, I think you're dead right when you say that we must look beyond this village 504 00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,196 and look at what's happening outside. 505 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,675 But not only to bankers and governments. 506 00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:50,952 What we must look to is that outside these windows, as we speak, on this land 507 00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,992 are two million landless peasants. 508 00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:57,112 They have absolutely no hope and are in a life of misery. 509 00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:00,516 Unless we harness that energy now, the ideas will be dead, 510 00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,200 there'll be no change, and this will be in vain. 511 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,788 - Ideas are the basis of this. - Jimmy. 512 00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,559 Those people will be dead, never mind the ideas. 513 00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:13,356 If Franco comes in, if Franco wins this war, he'll just kill a million of those people. 514 00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:15,675 They're nothing to him, they're shit. 515 00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:17,552 - The Soviets agree. - Exactly. 516 00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:20,638 So unless we win the war, there's no point in ideology. 517 00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:23,797 The ideology does not exist in a book. It exists... 518 00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,832 It has to exist in a place. It has to be for real people. 519 00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:30,236 I say that we have to take risks. What do we do? 520 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,113 Misery, hunger, hopelessness. 521 00:55:33,240 --> 00:55:36,357 Franco might come back and kill us, 522 00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:40,109 but I say it's worth it to continue collectivising 523 00:55:40,240 --> 00:55:43,471 and improving the quality of our lives. 524 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:54,957 Let's vote. All those in favour of collectivisation. 525 00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,150 All those against. 526 00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:03,193 Friends, the vote is to collectivise the land. 527 00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:39,555 - You all right? Want a hand? - Yeah, you? 528 00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,990 - No, just maybe your foot was hurting. - It's OK, thank you. 529 00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,076 No problem. 530 00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:52,510 And you talk about being poor? 531 00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:53,959 Who? 532 00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:56,674 You. With Coogan, that night. 533 00:56:57,720 --> 00:57:01,838 - I was talking about when we were kids. - I tell you what poor is. 534 00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:06,670 Two pesetas a day for agricultural labourers, if you're lucky. 535 00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:11,749 Peasant families living in caves or sandpits. That is poor. 536 00:57:13,240 --> 00:57:16,312 That is why we need a revolution. 537 00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:32,674 - Don't laugh. I saw you. - I wasn't laughing... 538 00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,993 - Do you want a hand? Oh, you've got one. - Don't say any more. 539 00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:41,509 What I'm saying is that I'm not the man I was. 540 00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,279 I feel like I'm standing on higher ground. 541 00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:47,915 I can see further. I notice things I hadn't even thought of before. 542 00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:52,830 Like. I left Liverpool with a daft. Romantic idea. But in war. People get killed. 543 00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:56,748 Fellas like Coogan. And the women and kids who died in this village. 544 00:57:56,880 --> 00:58:00,077 That's all part of me now. And I'll never shake it off. 545 00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:04,079 Fascist planes dropped leaflets yesterday. Saying they was winning. 546 00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,555 Well. It's hard to know what's going on. 547 00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,558 But here on the Aragon front we're holding our own. 548 00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:11,910 If only we had decent arms. 549 00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:17,273 Who knows? Perhaps a line of Russian tanks'll roll over the hill. Some hope. Eh? 550 00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:19,755 Pigat, Garibaldi, Roca. 551 00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:22,915 Listen... 552 00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:24,837 Max. 553 00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,679 Come here... 554 00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,029 Compañeros, listen please. 555 00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:42,835 I have to go to the command post for a very important meeting 556 00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:45,918 with the general staff of the column. 557 00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:50,875 And I say very important, cos we are going to discuss 558 00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:54,629 about our integration in the new Popular Army. 559 00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:59,352 There is no choice. The government in Valencia says no more militia, 560 00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:04,952 and say we all must become part in the new Communist-led Popular Army. OK? 561 00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:10,996 So if we refuse, they continue to withhold arms, to keep arms from us. 562 00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:14,829 - Do you understand? - Let's take a vote, no? 563 00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,150 I have something to say about this. 564 00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:21,556 Excuse me a moment, please. This is probably the last time 565 00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:26,231 that we can vote on something as a militia. All right? 566 00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:33,198 Maybe we could integrate to the new Popular Army and get the weapons, 567 00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:35,834 join together and be still the militia, too. 568 00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:38,838 You're a dreamer, Pigat. 569 00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:44,512 I think we have to try to see the reality of the situation here, OK? 570 00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,712 Who's ever gonna give us guns, the Russians or whomever, 571 00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:52,118 they're not gonna give 'em to us if they think that we're not properly trained. 572 00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:54,959 So it makes sense that the best training 573 00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,753 is gonna come from a regular disciplined army. 574 00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,189 I can't see what's wrong with that at all. 575 01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:03,153 Everything is wrong. The creation of the new army, 576 01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:07,353 with its saluting and discipline and military hierarchy, 577 01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:11,393 will destroy the revolutionary spirit of the people, OK? 578 01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:14,796 And it's exactly what Stalinists expect. 579 01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,832 - That makes no sense, Bernard. - Absolutely. 580 01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:20,428 The Communist Party was set up for revolution. 581 01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:24,030 - Why suppress revolutionary spirit? - Obviously, David. 582 01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:28,836 It is no more revolutionary. Look. The militia is the heart of the struggle. 583 01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:33,317 Stalin fears us, because he wants to sign treaties with the West. 584 01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:36,637 And he already did it with France. 585 01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,911 So to sign treaties, to reach an agreement, 586 01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:44,716 he needs to be respectable, and reassuring. OK? 587 01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,753 So if he supports us, and the revolution we are making, 588 01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:52,031 he will lose respectability. 589 01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:57,949 That's the reason why we are a real threat for Stalin. 590 01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,071 And also for the other countries. 591 01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:01,918 I don't, Bernard... 592 01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:04,998 What you're saying might be right, I don't know. 593 01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:08,112 OK? But we're not gonna win with a bunch of amateurs. 594 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:11,755 - You may be an amateur.
