"There were two forms of marriage in the Mesopotamian region, one more characteristic of nomadic
tribes, the other of plow agriculture. The older form was marriage without joint residence. It allowed the
woman greater autonomy and made divorce easier for her. The Code of Hammurabi formalized the
other form, which gradually became predominant. In this marriage system the wife resides in the
husband's house and is dependent on his support. Divorce is, for the wife, unobtainable. The marriage is
a marriage by purchase even when the result is not ownership of the wife but legal power of the
husband over the wife. It defines a new power relationship between husband and wife, for which there
was no equivalent in earlier society."
Gerda Lerner, historian, 1986

the so-called democratic countries had surrendered to Fascism at every step. But when General
Francisco Franco tried to overthrow a mildly Left-wing Government, the Spanish people, against all
expectation, had risen against him. It seemed—possibly it was—the turning of the tide. Franco had
against him not only the working class but also the liberal bourgeoisie. Moreover, the Spanish working
class did not, as we might do in England, resist Franco in the name of democracy and the status quo.
Land was seized by peasants; factories were seized by trade unions; churches were wrecked and the
priests driven out. There was an attempt to set up the rough beginnings of a workers' government."
