Militarization of the militias and during the war and until today has been a contentious issue on which has been hotly debated. To understand the anarchist view from the inside than they were the militias and opposition to militarization and the formation of a traditional army can be understood in terms that Durruti evident in these words in the summer of 1936: “I think -and all that is happening around us confirms my thought that a workers’ militia can not be conducted according to classical rules of the army. I think therefore that the discipline, coordination and implementation of a plan are essentials. But all that can not be interpreted according to criteria that were in use in the world that we are destroying. We must build on new foundations. According to me, and according to my companions, solidarity among men is the best incentive to raise individual responsibility that knows accept the discipline as an act of self-discipline.War is forced upon us, and the struggle that must govern it differs from the tactics with which we have just taken the win, but the purpose of our struggle is the triumph of the revolution. This means not only the victory over the enemy, but it must be obtained through a radical change of man. For that change is necessary to operate that man should learn to live and behave as a free man, learning which schools develop their personality and responsibility as masters of their own actions. The worker at work does not just change the forms of matter, but also, through this task, modifying itself. The fighter is nothing more than a worker using the gun as a tool, and their actions should aim at the same order than the worker. In the fight you can not behave like a soldier sent to him, but as a conscientious man who knows the significance of his act. I know you get this is not easy, but I also know that what is not obtained by reasoning is not obtained either by force.If our military apparatus of the revolution must be sustained by fear, will happen that we will not change anything except the color of fear. It is only released from the fear that society can build itself in freedom. “Buenaventura Durruti Finally, the militarization of confederal militias took place against the will of its members since the fall of 1936, with the government of Largo Caballero and his Decree of militarization of Militias and approval of the members of the CNT with government portfolios, until late 1937, a period in which many conflicts were not lacking on the issue. A prominent example was the founder of the Iron Column Jose Pellicer, who opposed the CNT who had decided to cooperate with the government decreed militarization. And is that successive government decrees compulsory military discipline restored the former military itself, while established organizations logistics and supplies under criteria militarized.Finally, after the Battle of Madrid in November 1936, the government denied services stores and ammunition to the militia to resist militarization. Thus, the militias became regiments or divisions of regular army-the so-called Republican People’s Army, and militia soldiers became subject to traditional military discipline. The Revolution was in decline. However, until the end of the war, some confederal militants as Cipriano Mera Gregorio Jover and showed great qualities as a strategist in the direction of the new Popular Army.
