The ‘Horrible Secret’ and Orwell in Spain
Thus, the first priority of the Soviet communists controlling the Spanish government was not fighting Franco’s army but the extermination of anarchists and Trotskyites (mostly internationalist, Jewish socialist revolutionaries).

The seemingly benign connotation of socialism today as democratic and altruistic would be a source of laughter to the innovators, namely, Karl Marx (1818–1883) and Friedrich Engels (1820–1895), and to the actual applicators like Vladimir I.
