Does anyone have opinions on the CNT-FAI in Spain during the civil war?

 

I know they were an anarchist group, but I don't know how they ran things and how ancaps would view them

I'm, unfortunately, not too knowledgeable on the CNT, but they were anarcho-syndicalists.  I recall a good online article on the syndicate, but I don't remember where I read it.

Was it The Anarcho-Statists of Spain, by any chance?

In some areas, money was banned and the penalty for using it was death. Hardly libertarian.
