George Orwell fought fascists in the Spanish Civil War with the Trotskyists. | GEORGE ORWELL ON THE LIBERTARIAN COLLECTIVES IN SPAIN DURING THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR:; “In theory it was perfect equality, and even in
practice it was not far from it. There is a sense
in which it would be true to say that one was
experiencing a foretaste of Socialism, by which I
mean that the prevailing mental atmosphere was that of
Socialism. Many of the normal motives of civilized
life — snobbishness, money-grubbing, fear of the
boss, etc. — had simply ceased to exist. The
ordinary class-division of society had disappeared to
an extent that is almost unthinkable in the money —
tainted air of England; there was no one there except
the peasants and ourselves, and no one owned anyone
else as his master.“ | image tagged in george orwell,anarcho-communism,syndicalism,anarchism,spain,communism | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
