I am reading Homage to Catalonia right now, why is this considered good? Orwell spends the entire time complaining about everything and ignoring the hypocrisy of his own political position.
Helping people who would destroy themselves if allowed to gain power.

Ha ha. Last line got me. Finish it, junior.
Damn she's hot.
hey butterfly
Homage is pretty routinely criticised for being unduly harsh on the Republic/'Stalinists' - you are still reading an anticommunist writer after all you triggered Francofag, so why complain
I thought it was boring and quit prob 1/4 way
>hot
>A cup
no
Average tier book. Down and out in Paris is better.
Are you fucking retarded? It's literally the other way around. “The book did more to blacken the loyalist cause than any work written by enemies of the Second Republic.” Herbert Matthews. lse.ac.uk
It's not good. Fuck Orwell. Fuck the Republicans. Fuck leftist Catalonia. Orwell was a pussy who should've stayed in his own country. He was a disgusting, mediocre writer and a complete loser who thought it would be a good idea to go to a foreign country that he had no connection to and fight for national subversion and the judeo-satanic destruction of a foreign nation's tradition and culture. Fuck him and also, fuck Hemingway. Anglos should stay the fuck out of Spain. They only come here to subvert. ¡Qué viva siempre José Antonio! ¡Presente!
Your quote, and also link (from Paul Preston no less lmao, which is exactly who I had in mind when writing my comment), are both agreeing with what I said. Here's a hint, 'loyalist' = THE REPUBLIC. So when I say
>Homage is pretty routinely criticised for being unduly harsh on the Republic
I'm making the same point as Matthews (and Preston), who said Homage 'blackened the loyalist cause' - and even moreso than any Francoist propaganda at that - you frothing retard. You seem to think that because Orwell fought for the Republic, he was in lockstep agreement with every single thing they did, and was thus incapable of writing against it. Here's a link to Preston specifically defending the Republic's actions during the May Days against Trots, who align more with Orwell's version of events.

Or to quote your own fucking link:
>However, limited to the time and place of Orwell’s presence in Spain, it would certainly not be there as a reliable analysis of the politics of the war. He clearly knew nothing of its origins or of the social crisis behind the Barcelona clashes
>That conflict was just one aspect of a much more serious one. The Poum’s call for a revolutionary workers’ front with the CNT was debilitating the war effort. Moreover, the Poum’s criticisms of the Moscow trials were seen as undermining the republic’s relationship with its only powerful ally. To secure Russian arms deliveries, the Poum leader, Andreu Nin, was removed. However, hostility to the anti-Stalinist left was not just about pandering to the Russians. Many Catalan anarchists were not committed to the war effort. In mid-March, anarchists who had opposed the militarisation of the militias abandoned the front and took their weapons to the Catalan capital. The revolutionaries had 60,000 rifles in Barcelona. They refused either to give them up or to go to the front themselves
Reread my actual comment you genuine spastic.
Go back to mexico faggot
Franco was Hitler's bitch. Maybe the one trying to overthrow the democratically elected government was actually the subversive one you Nazi retard.
Nunca mejor dicho, y viva Tabarnia!
Solo por curiosidad pero la portesta de la foto fue en barcelona? Diria que estan por Tres Torres pero no estoy seguro.
José Antonio should've ruled imo.
No sé por donde había acaecido exactamente. :v
Who gives a fuck, he didn't rule during the war, and I don't care about your gay hypothetical. Even supposing he had though, he still would've ended as Hitler's (and subsequently America's) bitch just like Franco.
>goes to fight on the front lines based on principle
>survives a a direct bullet to the neck
>some sniveling nobody on the internet calls him a pussy
next time you have an absolute shit opinion, keep it to yourself or better yet reconsider your entire cognitive process
Name?
George Orwell
Wish he had died. He deserved death.
Okay?
thanks
you sound delightful
>based on principle
he actually fought with communists, and didn't even really like the people he was fighting with, constantly shit on them, then got BTFO'd by a sniper bullet lmao imagine fighting with people you don't even like cuz >muh ideology and then getting fucked in the neck by fascist sniper bullets LMAO what a cuck
yeah, shitposting on Yea Forums is a much better way to spend one's life
>catalan-observatory
When will the rest of the world understand catalan/baasque separatism is literally nazism?
When will people realize Spain doesn’t exist
Based time traveling fascists attempting to stop one of the worst tragedies in American literature from occurring Look at you go, you little faggot!
how do they get those perfectly flat stomachs?
Puking.
perfect fat distribution is genetic user.
t.
It's not flat, she's just arching her back while sucking in her stomach, and you're too dumb to notice it because you're too focused on tits & ass.
The best part is when he can't bring himself to shoot a guy who was trying to keep his pants up after taking a shit.
no i've seen some people on video who look incredibly flat in belly area
Who cares? I take pleasure in knowing that he had to watch what happened to those disgusting leftists after Franco crushed them. I hope it haunted him the rest of his days. You shouldn't encourage thieves, it only makes their punishment more painful to watch.
