George Orwell may have been a rat piece of shit who turned on everyone the second he got a chance and provided a little too much critical support when he should have been wiping his own ass, but it's hilarious to see Republican grifters use a socialist's work to prove their point
No he was full on anarchist and praised the complete equality that they implemented in Catalonia. He hated the liberals and Stalinists who opposed it.
Do some basic reading. At least read Chapter 5 of Homage to Catalonia where he breaks down what happened and where all the opposing forces (fascists, liberals, Trots, Stalinists, and anarchists) stood
You and I are 100x more larpers than someone who was part of a revolution and shot fascists.
Name those historians and their work. Like no shit liberals and MLs dont like being blamed for losing in Spain, so they have their own version of events. But let's hear their counter arguments
Okay I had time to read this. This corroborates Orwell's account. He knows the Stalinists' arguments well, he states them in Homage to Catalonia, and he rebuts them. You haven't said anything new, unfortunately, I was hoping you would.
He joined a socialist militia thinking everyone was on the same side, until he realized the Stalinists were with the liberals and attacked the POUM and anarchists. He was in the POUM not the anarchists, but he exhuberantly praised both for instituting full equality.
That's close enough. What you consider "full on" is irrelevant to me. What Orwell actually wrote lovingly praising what he saw, the comraderie of everyone being equal without ranks and differential pay, is incredible to read.

Except he shit on Bohemian socialists in Road to Wigan Pier, and he "LARPed" by charging a fascist outpost on the Aragon front.
How about not making stuff up that sounds good but is the opposite of reality

Didn't move anything. Being pedantic isnt a virtue. And you're the only one here being an asshole, so have fun with that
