So it's just a meme then? Orwell didn't actually shoot some random farmer for no good reason?

Reading this book I felt embarressed just reading about what it was like fighting for the rojos; how can it be possible to be so incompetent? Thankfully the working class in the west, as it existed back then, is almost completely dead as a distinguishable part of society, so we don't have to deal with these cringe "revolutionaries" who become as shit as their shadow tyrants when they realise running a country isn't as easy as they thought it'd be.

he does try to explain that you couldnt reasonably have expected better (of the POUM) in the circumstances. basically rural peasants and some factory workers linked up and tried to fight a fuckin war.

Men who gain power through violence may not possess any notable skills outside of that violence, but that doesn't mean they will recognize their general ineptitude and remove themselves from power if they grab it. They're also usually convinced they're suited to leading things other than violent revolutions, and will use their main skill, violence, to ensure they get to do so. Right wing or left wing, most violent revolutionaries are like that, and if they aren't, then they either fade into irrelevancy, or are defeated by some other violent revolutionary who doesn't want level-headed people standing in his way.

The main lesson I got from this book and reading about the Spanish Civil War is that idealism isn't going to overcome a decisive material disadvantage. Same with confusing a lot of foreign support among the intelligentsia and literati which is like the 1930s equivalent of believing in meme magic.

>>20335805
Well, the anarchists and POUM were fairly insignificant factions even with the Republicans.

Do you ever wonder how much of an author's fame or obscurity rests on how their politics mesh with the ever-changing politics of the present? Who will sink like stone, who will rise from oblivion a century from now on?

Well from now on we will have a Ministry of Truth and mass censorship so only Cultural Marxist intersectionalist theory will be allowed.
