Then came Hitler, the Spanish       Civil War, etc.... The Spanish War and other events in 1936—37 turned       the scale and thereafter I knew where I stood. Every line of serious       work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or       indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I       understand it."              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
