goodboydeathsquad:militant-holy-knight:brosefvondudehomie:Yes, that one. Because he’d recognize that Antifa are just s bunch of fucking fascists wearing the name and screaming that they’re the good guys while they beat old men into the ground, destroy locally owned businesses, hit people trying to break up fights in the head with bike locks, and pepper spray women for wearing bitcoin hats. They’re terrorists and nobody who’s ever even studied fascists would mistake them for being anything but fascists themselves.George Orwell would have still opposed Antifa today like he did their equivalent in the Spanish Civil War. When he signed up to aid the Republicans, his unit was targeted and repressed by Stalinists loyal to the Soviet Union because Orwell’s mates were Trotyskist.One of the things that caused the Republicans to lose the Civil War in spite of being in charge of the country and having international recognition unlike the Nationalist rebels is that they were beset by infighting. Too many factions were busy trying to implement their own ideologies and it was in this chaos that the Soviets happily acted like a fifth column against their ideological allies to achieve control. When he tried to publish the book Homage to Catalonia detailing his experiences, his publisher (which had no problem publishing his works before) turned it down because the book was considered too critical of Communism. He did managed to get the book published by anti-Stalinist leftists so that is nice of them.These events changed Orwell. While he remained a staunch leftist all his life and was critical of fascism, he became disillusioned with Communism because of this war and was opposed to authoritarianism in all of it’s forms. Even after Hitler backstabbed Stalin during WW2 and suddenly all leftists began praising the Soviet Union’s “virtues”, Orwell remained consist and rightfully referred to it as a tyrannical regime.AnComs have and always will be scumbags of the highest orderThe Anarcho-Statists of Spain -- source link
