Valeriano Orobón Fernández

Valeriano Orobón Fernández (1901–1936) was a Spanish anarcho-syndicalist political theorist, journalist and poet. He developed a theory for the structure of a post-capitalist society based on workers' cooperatives, attempted to mediate between the anarchists and syndicalists of the National Confederation of Labour (CNT), and called for the CNT to form a united front with socialists against fascism. Before his death, he composed the lyrics to the anarchist war song A Las Barricadas, which became the official anthem of the CNT during the Spanish Civil War.
