[Wikipedia-l] Fork within a language

[Ian]

Its not your English, I'm sure that has more to do with the politics of
Sweden. I just read George Orwell's /Homage to Catalonia/ and he refered
to right-wing Socialists (Stalinists) and left-wing Socialists (the
marxists he was fighting with). This concept is absent in the US; at least
I've never heard of it before. Interesting stuff, though totally off
topic.
