Inspiring to know there are people like Robert Cox. I trust his reports were not as one sided as the stuff from Ukraine appearing in our media. George Orwell was a remarkable objective cynic, if there can be such a thing. Reminded of his comments about the American and European reporting from the Spanish Civil They bore little resemblance to what was happening. From what I've seen so far, Ukraine is a repeat.

Orwell was in a pro-Republican (liberal-left, anti-Franco) military unit. Because he was in a moderate socialist unit that was in conflict with the hardline, USSR-funded communist faction he was hunted down by the communists and barely escaped alive.

A classic example of the endless bickering and backstabbing on the left.
