I can make 1984 look like a utopia
Most fascists are not totalitarian.
also 1984 was totalitarian
irma is right
I remember wrongthink, doublethink and so on
fascism is not what 1984 was about
Totalitarians are terrible
1984 is closer to Stalinism than fascism by leaps and bounds.

Wrong
it specifically was written as a response to stalinism
George Orwell was a socialist who was critical of the Soviet Union. And you think he was writing about fascism?
🤔
*1984* was specifically about fascism and its dangers.
not fascism
totalitarianism in general
The Russians
persecuted heresy more cruelly than the Inquisition
had done. And they imagined that they had learned from
the mistakes of the past; they knew, at any rate, that one
must not make martyrs. Before they exposed their victims
to public trial, they deliberately set themselves to destroy
their dignity. They wore them down by torture and solitude
until they were despicable, cringing wretches, confessing
whatever was put into their mouths, covering themselves
with abuse, accusing and sheltering behind one another,
whimpering for mercy. And yet after only a few years the
same thing had happened over again. The dead men had
become martyrs and their degradation was forgotten. Once
again, why was it? In the first place, because the confessions
that they had made were obviously extorted and untrue. We
do not make mistakes of that kind. All the confessions that
are uttered here are true. We make them true. And above
all we do not allow the dead to rise up against us. You must

stop imagining that posterity will vindicate you, Winston.
Posterity will never hear of you. You will be lifted clean out
from the stream of history. We shall turn you into gas and
pour you into the stratosphere. Nothing will remain of you,
not a name in a register, not a memory in a living brain. You
will be annihilated in the past as well as in the future. You
will never have existed.’
from the book
specifically to stalinism however Orwell did also include hitler under the umbrella
"Nineteen Eighty-Four uses themes from life in the Soviet Union and wartime life in Great Britain as sources for many of its motifs. Some time at an unspecified date after the first American publication of the book, producer Sidney Sheldon wrote to Orwell interested in adapting the novel to the Broadway stage. Orwell sold the American stage rights to Sheldon, explaining that his basic goal with Nineteen Eighty-Four was imagining the consequences of Stalinist government ruling British society:"
1984 was ran like a socialist country but lead by totalitarians

1984 and Animal Farm were written as allegorical pieces for the Soviet Union.
Stop denying reality.

the communist has to bend reality
to make himself correct
Like Dr. strange
tankies and the real world are oxymorons
