I thoroughly share Orwell's politics but he could be unrealistic. There's no way the home guard was going to behave as a political militia, nor would it have been desirable. One of the reasons the Republicans did so badly in the Spanish Civil War was because of the infighting. Churchill, a minor aristocrat, DID manage to rally the people.

Well Orwell might have had a special hatred for fascism because of his experience of a cruel and tyrannical public school upbringing, but there were thousands of people who volunteered to fight in Spain, and in the home guard and were happy to be conscripted: because Nazism/Fascism was a real threat - it wanted to take over and subjugate the world. You don't need any "form of autism" to be obsessed by the dangers of war and fascism in 1930's Europe.

right but as any psychologist will tell you its started as a child. why did he want to enlist? that's what I was trying to say. His obsession lead him there.

Like all those millions of people who were conscripted in the Allied nations?
armchair-psych nonsense.
Besides, George Orwell was in the British Imperial police force, he would already have had firearms training long before.

Orwell was key in my own development and understanding of the nature of politics and liberty.

And remember: It's always easier to throw a bomb downstairs - than up.
