   "First I spent five years in an unsuitable profession (the Indian   
   Imperial Police, in Burma), and then I underwent poverty and the sense   
   of failure. This increased my natural hatred of authority and made me   
   for the first time fully aware of the existence of the working   
   classes, and the job in Burma had given me some understanding of the   
   nature of imperialism: but these experiences were not enough to give   
   me an accurate political orientation. 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."
