Except the destruction of the family unit (we started a dictatorship based on catholic values) everything else was more or less similar.

Because they start to find out were was the people who lose the battle to kill them. Also, the neighbors declare to the police were they were and a lot of times, you lived in a constant fear bc even if you weren't from the opposite side they could kill you for whatever reason saying that you were republican.

There were also a lot of lies around the recent history and people tend to avoid certain topics to not get into trouble...

As I said, the author based some aspects in what's was lives just after the civil war and he adds some that doesn't happend but he imagine it could such as the destruction of family.

Sorry for the long response 😅😅😅

Long response appreciated 🫶 I didn't know this. I knew Homage to Catalonia was based on the Spanish Civil War. He was still eerily accurate though huh? With an uncanny ability to accurately predict future tech capabilities 🤷‍♀️ I still wonder whether this was some sort of divine/spiritual guidance or "disclosure of the plan". The lucky guess thing just doesn't resonate with me as being likely 🤔 I'll say it again though...great book 😂

I think that he had a lot of knowledge of how politics works and he start to imagine which actions a governor could take to preserve his power and suppress all the dissidence 🤷🤷

The fact that we are living in prime time some aspects that he mention on the book just indicates that he was right and we must continue to explain the importance the decentralization of the power. In our case, the decentralization of money.
