The positions adopted by anarchists and anarcho-syndicalists against cooperation with other working-class forces were fuelled by fear of losing their organisations’ ideological independence. This paper examines the evolution of the theoretical positions adopted by the anarchists vis-à-vis what they saw as ideological deviations provoked by the invasion of tendencies alien to the movement, especially in the social organisations. From the debate over neutral unionism, successfully attacked by Argentinian anarchism, to the refusal to intervene in Asturias, in the fragmented libertarian movement there has always been a line tending towards isolationism which has posed a threat to the survival of libertarian organisations.
