Municipalism is nothing other than thousands of neighbours coming together in a joint effort to build a new model for their city. In the summer of 2014 a set of initiatives necessary for staging a so-called institutional assault were already appearing in several Spanish cities: the municipalist movements.

Good history makes for good citizens. A history that glosses over the conquest of the continent is partial, in both senses of the word.
