Summary
‘The Communist’s emphasis is always on centralism and efficiency, the Anarchist’s on liberty and equality.’ With these words George Orwell contrasted two allied forces alongside which he fought, attempting to save the republic from the fascist-supported army of Francisco Franco during the Spanish Civil War. Division between these ‘allies’ was strong, involving unresolvable differences, and convincing them to work in harmony was a formidable task. Orwell was not alone in his awareness of that division.
