Looking for the source of some quotes (hexbear.net)

The first one is, I believe, related to the Spanish Civil War and goes something like "...on any given day, we were fighting the fascists, the syndicalists, the anarchists [or some such variation of denominations]..."

I feel like I might be hallucinating the second one, but it's about this Czech dude who regrets protesting against the Soviet Union for such things as jeans and Hi-Fi systems not realizing that things such as housing were at stake.

Would be really great if you guys could help me out with sources for the above!

I'm not sure if this is exactly it, but the "Wanting It All" subsection from the Communism in Wonderland chapter provides the same kind of rhetorical ammo.

Thanks a bunch!
