Homage to Catalonia excerpt

[GambitFox79]

This was a heart-wrenching book. You really felt like something new, fresh, and brilliant for all mankind was on the horizon. 

And then it all falls away in betrayal. Amazing book.

Viva la Revolución

[HabloIrlandes]

"Human beings were trying to behave as human beings, and not as cogs in the capitolist machine".

If only that were the case today. Instead we have a situation where its Solialism for the rich and Capitolism for the poor. Where the masses are bailing out the rich bankers that fucked their capitolist system up in the first place. While individuals are losing their homes and their posessions repossed as they have lost their jobs.

Hey whats the name of this movie playing i the clip? Could you send me a PM of it and where I can find it? Thanks

[ReX342]

'except gypsies' lol!

It used to bother me that Roma's are still second rate citizens in Europe and even get evicted from the most liberal (socialist if you live in europe) cities, but considering Orwell said that even during the revolution they were begging...Granted, if the revolution ever came; I'd probably just be begging by the roadside instead of helping and constructing...

Were did you get that footage? I'm looking for a good movie about the spanish revolution that I could show to a bunch of college kids without boring them. It being in english is key.

[DanteWhite]

@ratrat48 the footage is from a spanish movie called "libertarias" and what he is reading is an excerpt from the book homage to catalonia by george orwell
