My only goal was to push back on the notion that the Spanish Civil War was lost due to anarchist disorganization. I'm not sure what response the other commenter warrants, it's just a quip.

The Spanish Civil War wasn't anarchists vs fascists. There was a popular front that included anarchists, socialists, communists, liberals. The USSR-associated groups made a grab for power over the anarchist factions, which can't have helped the war effort.

I don't run Lemmy nor am I a tankie, although the creators are Marxist-Leninists, I believe. My youtube channel is mainly anarchist stuff. If you're offended by the Communist Manifesto, maybe you should give it a listen, you might find you were offended by the wrong things.

Can you explain why you think this, and also explain how you reconcile that opinion with his decision to move to Spain in the 1930s to fight Franco?

Are you calling Orwell a fascist figure? He risked his life fighting fascism.
