```George Orwell is the pen name of Eric Arthur Blair(June 25, 1903 - January 21, 1950), a leading and open-minded English writer, essayist and journalist who became critical of his ideological allies on the Left. He hated imperialism[1] and grew more conservative, adopting and raising a child and becoming a member of the Church of England.[2] The tension between the increasingly conservative Orwell and the perception of him as a democratic socialist may account for some of his interesting word inventions like "doublethink". Because of his prominent liberal past, Orwell's conservative writings were accepted and praised by the clueless liberal intelligentsia.
"Orwellian" is a term in tribute to his mockery of political attempts to control and redefine terminology.
Unlike most writers, Orwell's greatest works came late in his life. He harshly criticized communism and totalitarianism in 1984, his finest novel, as well as in his shorter fictional work Animal Farm, an allegorical reference to the Russian Revolution. These works were far more significant than his first novel, based on his experiences on the Imperial Police Force in Burma, Burmese Dаys, which explored the evils of coloniаlism. His highly influential essay, "Politics in the English Language," attacked the liberal obfuscation which was already present in his day, and championed clear speech.
The inspiration for Orwell's growth into conservatism remains unexplored. Likely reasons include his open-mindedness, his adopting and then raising (due to his wife's untimely death) a child, and his disillusionment with Leftists while fighting on their side in Spain.```

Too true
@Gservator Thank you

```"It cannot be said too often— at any rate, it is not being said nearly often enough— that collectivism is not inherently democratic, but, on the contrary, gives to a tyrannical minority such powers as the Spanish Inquisitors never dreamt of." - George Orwell```

"[...] his confused notions of socialism can be read in The Lion and the Unicorn (1941) [...]"
"Orwell describes the Labour Party as “socialist” and continues in the same paragraph to describe, quite accurately, why it is not and cannot be socialist."
>Orwell was a socialist
>Orwell didn't understand socialism

He is gone, but like a cancer he will regrow and strike back with more than before, prepare thy sphincters
I’m scared
Are we going to die?
This is what happens when you debunk every single hero someone has
He loves to use Orwell's "socialist viewpoints" as a shield to claim that Orwell supported socialism. So proving that *other socialists* criticize Orwell's view of socialism fucks with his narrative
Orwell had a massive misunderstanding of what Socialism was and to say he was one in anything but name is like saying Tommy is Far Right because he founded the EDL
Orwell wrote for the socialist book club
I got Bababootlicker last night when I posted the full quote from Karl Popper when he posted the half quoted comic
The far right is evil, because all evil is far right. Since Tommy is evil, therefore he is far right.
>Tommy
>Evil
Oof
Tommy cares about Britain, that's very evil
Change my mind
