    It was after. That also radicalized him towards class solidarity and socialism. He empathized with the suppressed indigenous peoples there and in the next step with the suppressed in his own country. He went to meet them and live with them as documented in his book The Road to Wigan Pier. Then, as a vaguely socialist, he went to Spain as documented in Homage to Catalonia. I read both books btw

    He was radicalized against the Soviets because they did not support the socialist revolution led by anarchosyndicalists. Instead Stalin supported the liberals because he said it wasn’t time for revolution yet which is BS since Barcelona and big parts of Catalonia did well under anarchists. An anarchist revolution would undermine the “ends justify the means” and “there is no other way to socialism than ours” rhetoric of the bolsheviks.

    TLDR He was an anti-Soviet agitator but from the left










  • I read it and enjoyed it very much. It was thought provoking in a way. Is it serious? What even is the context? Can’t be serious after just a few words or could it be? Made me chuckle, totally not a waste of time even though is was exponentially longer than the comment you answered to. This is social media as in you socialize with people.

    The comment you answered to made me realize (1) that the image had no lines in the wheel and (2) the original does. Totally not a wast of my time. You wasted more time writing comments than reading the first one. I appreciate that in a way. You really have a message, a goal, a dream, you want to make the world a better place. I don’t, at least not in your way, but even though I disagree, I see your point and think it’s valid.

    Edit: You didn’t edit your comment and neither did I. Whom are we kidding? Certainly not me, I’m unkiddable

    Edit 2: this is a real edit. Just kidding, again a fake one.

    Edit 3: typo
