I’m fully aware he stinks on a personal and political level. We can agree he’s a (Really, that word is blocked?) “Someone who commits sexual assault” who ended up condemning the one cool thing he ever did. I just don’t find that helpful to the discussion.

I think about this article every time Orwell comes up. There is a reason the CIA would air drop this book into communist nations.
It’s such a mindfuck how western “leftists” will often think Orwell, the man who has done more for anti-communism than probably any other single individual is a “true communist” but people like Stalin or Mao are “fake communist” because they didn’t do a hypothetical perfect communism. All one needs to be a “socialist” is to just say you are, no matter what your actions end up actually supporting.
It’s so surreal it would make for an actually good dystopian fiction/“child-friendly” fable metaphor type of novel.
