"The revolution is the outcome of many causes whose origin we situate in a higher level of culture of the people, in the discrepancy between their aspirations and the organization that rules and governs the people."

Ángel Pestaña was born on 14th February 1886 in Barbarin, Spain. He became a prominent anarcho-syndicalist, known for his involvement with the National Confederation of Labor (CNT) and the Iberian Anarchist Federation (FAI). Pestaña was secretary of the CNT trade union and was known for his oratory skills which were highly influential.
Pestaña was a vocal critic of the state, promoting anarchism and unionism as pathways towards workers' rights and social equality. He saw syndicalism as a method of bringing about social revolution, and was central in establishing the principles of the CNT. He later distanced himself from the more militant strands of the movement, creating the Syndicalist Party. He passed away on 11th December 1937, leaving a lasting impact on the Spanish anarchist movement.
