Quote:
Homage to Catalonia is political journalist and novelist George Orwell's personal account of his experiences and observations in the Spanish Civil War. The first edition was published in 1938. The book was not published in the United States until February 1952. The American edition had a preface written by Lionel Trilling. The only translation published in Orwell's lifetime was into Italian, in December 1948. A French translation made by Yvonne Davet ? with whom Orwell corresponded, commenting on her translation and providing explicatory notes ? in 1938-39, was not published until five years after Orwell's death.[1]
Christopher Hitchens: "The narrative core of Homage to Catalonia, it might be argued, is a series of events that occurred in and around the Barcelona telephone exchange in early May 1937. Orwell was a witness to these events, by the relative accident of his having signed up with the militia of the anti-Stalinist POUM upon arriving in Spain [-] he became convinced that he had been the spectator of a full-blown Stalinist putsch [-] Moreover, he came to understand that much of the talk about discipline and unity was a rhetorical shield for the covert Stalinization of the Spanish Republic."[2]

Which, it seems, has nothing to do with running an entire country.
So I will ask again, can you give me a country to back up what you're saying?
