Forgot to add this, If one desires to know how Orwell the communist became a libertarian and light socialist read his novel, "Letters from Catalonia." He went to Spain as a hard core leftists and fought for the Republicans that were the communists. In Spain he discovered the dark truths of communism. He returned to England as a libertarian and socialist light. If he had of lived longer and seen want England was becoming he would have been a right wing conservative. He was a great man of intellect.

Oddly he was wounded in Spain not by Franco's troops but by other Marxist factions fighting for supremacy within the Marxist factions. It made an impression on Orwell's thinking.
