Cantonalism

It advocates federalism with a radical character (including redistribution of wealth, improvement of the working classes etc.).

It has a resemblance in some ways to the Greek polis, due to both being systems of individual towns or cities, ruled by citizens, which make up the overall confederacy.

Cantonalism was predominantly a phenomenon of the petty bourgeoisie, but also had a great influence on the nascent labor movement, and constituted a precedent for anarchism in Spain.

In the following days it spread through many regions including, Valencia, Andalusia (especially Granada[1][2]), and in the provinces of Salamanca and Ávila, all of them in places that came to articulate cantonalism.

Dozens of municipal and district councils of autonomous power, independent from the state, with their own notes and coins, were established.
