How about telling the whole story instead of just a piece of it? Picking and choosing is not history; it is propaganda. Half the truth is the same as a lie.

Not the whole story at all. You must study the Spanish Civil War, the rise of fascism and communism, political movements in Europe, and many other things. It is a very complicated, interwoven story. The more you know about history, the harder it is to just pick a side. It might do you good, Modda. I'm sure you will sound more intelligent.

There were many different groups calling themselves socialists at the time. Could you explain that? Also, could you explain why they all tried to kill each other in Barcelona? It's a complicated story with a lot of nuance. A good-guy/bad-guy binary doesn't work. You also have to put the story in the context of the era. Do you think you can do all that, Gig? Real history instead of BS Marxist history?

That is hard to answer. Both Hitler and Mussolini's parties come from socialistis beginning but they become nationalists. No clear answer. Without context you could say yes or no and still be wrong.

'Come from socialist beginnings' they were never socialist, they were socialist to steal votes from the actual socialist parties.

You can't just make shit up, Gig. Put in at least a little effort.

1984 was a critique of world powers/government in 1948, the year was published.

'1984' was written mostly about Stalin's USSR. Pining down Orwell is difficult and requires a lot of context. You have to know the whole story. I admit I take shortcuts myself.
