You know Orwell was a socialist, right?

How do you think he knew it so well

That always confused me. When I read Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm I was under the impression that Orwell was indeed anti-socialist. Obviously the facts state otherwise though.

Being a socialist and critiquing socialism aren't mutually exclusive

he was criticising the Stalinist bastardisation of socialism

he wasn't criticizing socialism you idiots. stalinism.

there's a difference.

fucking americans.

Orwell was a socialist.

1984 and Animal Farm depict corrupt regimes calling themselves socialist.

If Americans had the capacity to understand this, they wouldn't use socialist as a slur.

"Collectivism leads to concentration camps, leader worship and war. There is no way out of this unless a planned economy can somehow be combined with the freedom of the intellect.”
- George Orwell

He recognized the inherent problems of socialism. A planned economy strung together by the state, as through socialist programs, is incompatible with liberty and free choice. Such leads to totalitarianism, such leads to Stalinsim.
