You should look out for Orwell's Homage to Catalonia. His anti-communism stems from his experiences there. Or this general explainer is pretty good.

Right, the Communist militias in the Spanish Civil War were being influences by Soviet partisans or something. The Anarchist and Marxist militias, which Orwell served in, were of the people.
