You know I just read an article about George Orwell. He hated Communism although he was a Socialist. The reason is that in order for Communism to succeed objective truth had to be diminished. I then understood that when people on the Left spew their list of terrible things we are; they are spewing political propaganda (something he hated as much as communism) and it is most offensive because we intuitively know it is not objectively true.
He wrote an essay about a boarding school that he was sent to and hated. When I read that part I thought....that's it....that is what makes me so angry about the accusations...that is what I could identify, but not put into words. He said, "I only learned three things there, snobism, sadism and the abiding sense that I was being made to feel guilty about crimes and sins that I don't recall committing. Orwell...moral atheist and socialist....based.
1984 and Animal farm. Dude knew his shit. Socialism still sucks though. I always figured Orwell would be a huge libertarian and Rand Paul fanboy if he were around today.
Actually Orwell was an atheist and a socialist. He hated Communism and propaganda because both sought to diminish objective truth. He was all about objective truth.
The correct answer to 1984 is 1776.
