Where the biggest misconception falls into the category as to what socialism meant in Spain in 1936, and Communism. Socialism was more along the lines of the Democratic party in the US than it was a Trotsky or Lenin philosophy
One of the classic textbooks dealing with the Spanish Civil War - the name of which I can't recall at the moment but it's usually on the top of every list - does state this loud and clear.

I think the text I'm referring to is by Hugh Thomas: The Spanish Civil War
When I took the course - years ago - I remember some classmates being a bit taken back by that concept and a very adament professor explaining just so.
