Unfortunately the left is using it as an actual blueprint. Remember, Orwell was an insider. He revealed what the outcome of the social engineers of his day were attempting to build. He wrote it as a fictional story so he would not be silenced for revealing their plans. In Animal Farm he showed us that human nature makes socialism impossible to be implemented without catastrophic failure. 1984 showed how they intended to work around that human nature by using it against us and breaking the human mind in order to bring about the changes they desired. In the end the result will be an Iron Boot Smashing Down On The Face Of Humanity Forever.

Orwell was a naive, idealistic Socialist, who hated almost every real Socialist he met, and every Socialist government he encountered, and was compulsively honest about the corruption, hypocrisy, and murderous flaws in the system in practice.

His only real failing was he still hung onto the naive dream that there somehow existed a form that it would work. And this was born mainly from horror at the state of the poor in his era rather than anything else, and the feeling that no other system than enlightened Socialism could help them.

If he saw the comparative wealth of the poor under Capitalism today, I doubt he'd still be a Socialist.

He was basically a insider whistleblower at a time that it was fashionable among public figures to praise and propagandise for the Soviet Union. He did not believe in "by any means necessary", and was in fact a deeply sentimental patriot, who had no love for Globalism.

Animal Farm still portrays Trotsky as sympathetic so fuck that book too. Orwell was a socialist!

Even in those books he portrays Trotskyist characters as morally justified. Snowball from Animal Farm and Emmanuel Goldstein from 1984 are both Trotsky stand-ins

It's being used as an instruction manual. Defend yourself or suffer.

Just like Machiavelli's The Prince.... It will be used as a guidebook.
