Betrayal is a bit of a hefty charge to be leveled against anyone by the guy who turned government informant and denounced writers he thought were too communist to the British government.
Betrayal is about the only word to accurately describe the historically documented events when Soviet-backed communist troops began firing on non-Soviet-backed communist and anarchist troops in the middle of the civil war.
Or the summary executions of individuals that criticized the growing Stalinist influence. Hemingway rather famously had falling outs with several of his friends for ignoring other friends being executed in the street.
