Sinopsis?

>>16789502
Good.

anarchists were
1. cringe
2. unpopular with workers who abandoned them bc theyre fucking retards
3. terrible at fighting
imagine being so 19 years old that this little novel 'convinces you of anarchism'

>>16789551
How the hell where anarchist unpopular with workers when the main anarchist union had more 1,5 million workers in their ranks at the start of the civil war?
It was by far the main and almost only movement that had widespread worker support.

what about it convinced you of anarchism? they lose the war and orwell ends up in prison at the end only to be let go because he was a british national seems like a case against rather than for

I often wonder if Spanish Civil War romanticism isn't the left-wing equivalent of "Lost Cause" dumbasses who wish the Confederates had won in America.

>>16790552
The Anarchists were unambiguously the good guys tho
Is closer to the WW2 vet nostalgia in USA

>>16789502
Reminder that revolutionaries in Barcelona were shot by antifascists.

>>16790420
are you 12 ? what kind of reasoning is that ?

>>16789502
>reads one book and becomes true believer anarchist
Sounds about right. A man is impressionable at eighteen.

You are not an anarchist because you read a fucking book
What did you actually do?
Organize a neighborhood co-op? Set up a shop of tools and open it so anyone can enter and make or fix stuff they need? Open a community garden?
Or shitpost about your newest consumer drone identity purchase on a centralist, entirely owned panopticon to people who LARP as fascists?

anarchists in the 30s did the same thing anarchists do today: back liberals against the right and then lose to the winner.

>*blocks your path*

It’s the prequel to Animal Farm.

>>16790742
>back liberals
They did the opposite, and the tankies betrayed them.
Lot of dumb uninformed twelve year old slander going ITT

>>16790420
>Ended up in prison

How is this an argument against anarchism? Donkey brain

>>16789525
>upper-middle class twat takes part in war tourism disguised as some higher meaning and kills some random farm worker who just didn't want anarchists to torture and murder the local priest, fully expects the reader to sympathise with his cause but not the farm worker's

>>16790742
No, I'm pretty sure they were blowing up buildings with dynamite and driving backs back then? Not backing "liberals". See: Dynamite Club, Sacco and Vanzetti, etc.

>>16791630
>driving backs
translation:
>robbing banks

This book made me an anarchist

Fucking Catholic who didn’t even read it don’t get to write synopses

This book made me an anarchist

>>16791666
Checked

You can tell this book is bad for the hierarchy because Barnes and noble won’t let you buy it from them

>>16789502
I'm not an Anarchist but I recommend to anyone interested to read this. It changed my perception of them positively.

>>16791604
Read the book, dumbass. Where does he kill a farmer exactly?

>>16791808
Yeah it's a classic

>>16791930
He posts the same text in every thread where this book is mentioned; not sure he really understands what he’s trying to say.
