Way to resort to shitposting without presenting any actual argument. There's a whole book about Orwell's socialist views.
>That's what happens when your ideology is built on jealousy and a couple of slogans
>I have never read any socialist theory

>Orwell's fantasy in reality, which was the USSR, Yugoslavia and Cuba
So that's why he devoted two books critiquing the brutality of USSR and totalitarian countries?

>Funny how you said he didn't hate socialism, just he USSR. As if there's a difference.
Because there is a difference, you fucking idiot. Why not lump in every authoritarian state in there while you're at it. It's like saying there's no difference between Nazi Germany, Tito's Yugoslavia, Maoist China, and Nero's Rome.

What the fuck are you on about dude? My whole point was that Orwell was a socialist, and stayed a socialist till he died. That doesn't mean he can't be disgusted with how the USSR was functioning.

What a time to be alive.
I jut finished pic related and was wishing for a conflict to give me some meaningful purpose somewhere.
Anybody know if the CNT or UGT are still around in the area?
Finally a chance to live a life just like my two favorite writers.

This is literature related

What are some other books that talk about the Spanish civil war?
After reading this book I'm have a hard time understanding the difference between the UGT and the CNT, and the appeal of the PSUC.
