- tomohawk 2y agoRead Orwell's account of fighting for one of the socialist groups in Spain, and how one of those groups wiped out the others when they had the chance. There is plenty of historical accounts of socialists killing socialists.
- ashconnor 2y agoThe Spanish civil was between anarchists, fascists and communists.
