"It inspired the flag of Fascist Falange."

I know they're both red and black, but "inspired"? That would imply idelogical similarities between the anarchists and fascists, a silly proposition at best. --Tothebarricades.tk 00:40, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Needs cleanup.

The article is grammatically incorrect and needs cleanup to make it easier to read.FET 02:17, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sentence makes no sense

In the First Congress of the CNT (taken place in 1911, year in which the union received its name officially) a general strike, reason for the one was already summoned which the union was declared illegal up to 1914.

This sentence makes no sense, I am not even sure what it is supposed to mean. Can someone correct it please?

[edit] Trade union or federation?

Is CNT a trade union, like the article currently states, or is it actually a federation of more or less independent regional and sectoral trade unions? / Alarm 13:36, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Final Paragraph

It is interesting to note that many authoritarian left wing and right wing movements have made a point of appropriating the colors of anarcho-syndicalists in particular in order to try to lessen or re-direct their popularity and impact at crucial times in history.

Is there any sort of evidence for this at all? It seems to me that it's an attempt to boost the supposed significance of this group by suggesting groups such as the Nazis and Soviets were somehow terrified of it - which is, of course, ridiculously POV.

The only case I know is the flag of Falange. --Error 02:35, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The Sandinistas appropriated it, but I thought they were the only ones. -- 69.243.54.110 01:10, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

I added the infobox, but I don't have current info about the secretary general, or membership. I also moved the CNT-FAI flag into the box - is that the best image, or should it be just the CNT logo?--Bookandcoffee 17:57, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

The flag does it. Or does CNT-FAI have another logo? I should add the SAC flag to Sveriges Arbetares Centralorganisation, come to think of it. Jobjörn 18:50, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

The secretary general is Rafael Corrales Valverde http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafael_Corrales
