  • @WastedTourist the bullet discourse is from Homage to Catalonia??

  • ...been written directly or indirectly against totalitarianism AND FOR DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM as I understand it.

    i CAN'T BELEIVE THAT CRITICAL PASSAGE WAS LEFT OUT!!

  • @haddon7373 Doesn't stop them editing it out.

  • my first thoughts, conventionally enough, regarded my wife.. - as though it wasn't an intentional/deliberate thought and was one which he didn't want in his head before passing..

  • The discourse on the bullet is from "Coming up for Air"

  • @david552 this was not made my the BBC just shown by the BBC

  • They also just said "trade unions," disregarding the fact that they were mostly anarcho-syndicalist trade unions. And that Orwell joined an explicitly Marxist militia. He's been kind of pinkwashed.

  • Un-fucking-believable!

    they cut "and for democratic socialism, as I understand it." and they say the BBC has a left wing bias...

    I guess they thought "democratic socialism" was too complex an idea for our tiny minds to grasp...

  • "communist-led counter-revolution"

    now that's something you wouldn't have heard in history lessons in USSR!

  • there was no "mischance". it was stupid and dangerous to look over the parapet and they all knew it.

    any "meaninglessness" lay in his choice to commit the act.
