The July 2023 design is inspired by 19 July 1936 and the events that followed. In response to a right-wing coup by general Francisco Franco, workers across Spain took up arms and launched one of the most far-reaching social revolutions in history. The ensuing civil war pitted the working class against the Spanish capitalists, who were backed by Nazi Germany and fascist Italy. In the revolutionary areas, anarchist and socialist workers and peasants took over workplaces and land and began to run them collectively. Thousands of mostly working class people came from all over the world to aid the workers of Spain. One of them was the famous British socialist author George Orwell, who described the scene in Barcelona:

“It was the first time that I had ever been in a town where the working class was in the saddle.”

Western democracies, including Britain and France, abandoned the republic and enforced a blockade on Spain which stopped the flow of aid and weapons to the anti-fascists. Meanwhile, Italy and Germany openly flouted the ban, and the US oil giant Texaco supplied the nationalists with oil and other supplies without even demanding payment, while stopping any supplies to the republic. Ultimately, after nearly three years of bitter and bloody warfare, the nationalists with their superior weaponry and equipment, were victorious.

The July 2023 design is by tattoo artist Ysabel Shrapnel. Ysa let herself be inspired by the style of leaflets and posters of the time. “No Pasarán” is a famous anti-fascist slogan born during the Spanish Civil War. Its meaning is “they [i.e. the fascists] shall not pass”. The woman’s sleeve bears the logos of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (C.N.T.) and the Federación Anarquista Ibérica (F.A.I.) both of which are trade unions who played a crucial role in the Spanish Revolution.
