The Proletarian Internationalism of the Italian Anti-Fascists

At the beginning of the conflict, lots of people came and volunteered. As the conflict drew on, people had heard about the high casualty rate. There were other issues like volunteers started being jailed in re-education camps or executed by Communist Party types.

This was also a social revolution in which workers and peasants took over land and industry in certain areas along socialist lines.
