For Whom the Bell Tolls

As I am two-thirds of the way through this classic, I wonder whether anyone reads it anymore.  After all, Hemingway writes as an apologist for the Stalinist communists, at the expense of the P.O.U.M. anarcho-syndicalists.  There is a fascinating comment on Palin and Huckabee on page 207 of the original 1940 edition: 

     "But surely the big proprietors and the rich will make a revolution against such taxes.  Such taxes appear to me to be revolutionary. They will revolt against the government when they see that they are threatened, exactly as the fascists have done here," Primitivo said.
     "It is possible."
     "Then you will have to fight in your country as we fight here."
     "Yes, we will have to fight."
     " But are there not many fascists in your country?"
     "There are many who do not know they are fascists but will find it out when the time comes."
