POUM

A small Spanish anti-Stalinist communist party led by Andrés Nin and Joaquín Maurín, prominent during the Spanish Civil War. Since Republican Spain received most of its external help from the USSR, the Spanish communist party used this to force the suppression of POUM in 1937. POUM supporters included the English writer George Orwell, who chronicled events in his book Homage to Catalonia.

The Stalinist-inclined Communist press accused the anti-Stalinist POUM (Partido Obrero de Unificacion Marxista/Workers' Party for Marxist Unification) of being fascist agents.
But he is wrong, and might have learned something had he read the previously mentioned Spain Betrayed; the contribution by the former POUM leader Julia Gomez Gorkin to the 1963 volume edited by the late Jeane J.
The first half of the play is set in the POUM trenches, where anti-fascist euphoria soon fades in the terrible conditions.
