Paul. Orwell volunteered to fight fascists in Spain. Essentially, Orwell is as 'Antifa' as it gets. You dumb motherfucker.
You know this guy? General Francisco Franco? Led a military coup in 1936. Allied with Hitler, took Nazi support. 
So you had these guys, @PrisonPlanet, the Nationalists, straight up fascists fighting... 
...these guys, the Republicans, outgunned and outmanned. 
Between 1936 & 1939, the nationalists rolled across Spain besieging Republican strongholds such as Barcelona. 
Pretty damn important to Nationalist success was Nazi support, particularly from bombers in the Condor Legion. 
Maybe you know this picture, @PrisonPlanet. It shows the aftermath of a bombing raid on the town of Guernica on the 26th of April, 1937. 
It's a painting by Pablo Picasso, obviously, and it is one of the most powerful anti-war statements ever made.
In an attempt to support the Republicans, communist organizations from all over the world formed 'international brigades' to fight. 
There was a British Battalion in the Spanish Civil War comprising volunteers who wanted to support the fight against fascism. 
One of those volunteers was Eric Arthur Blair, aka George Orwell. 
Orwell fought fascists on the frontline until he was shot through the throat. He then returned to England. 
Orwell's time fighting fascists in Spain had such an impact on him, he wrote one of the defining books on it. 
So, if Orwell was here, @Prisonplanet, he'd be looking at these Nazi fuckers on parade and reaching for his rifle.
Stalinism terrified Orwell, this is true, but what enraged him was fascism, @PrisonPlanet. He was ready to die to oppose it.
So, you can take you bullshit Antifa ravings and shove them. You have no knowledge, no credibility, selling hate to the pig-ignorant.
Well guess what, you hateful turd...
