I was bored and decided to browse Imgflip and I found a meme where they claim George Orwell was a socialist. Some of you probably know that Imgflip's comment section is filled with rabid reactionaries and libs who refuse to read.

I'm only posting it here is because now I had enough of this person and I just want your take on this, fellow hexbearers.

    Orwell was a, or at least claimed to be, a socialist. However he was a fancy-lad western chauvinist socialist who not only never accomplished anything for anyone, but also sold out his own comrades.

    It is incredibly telling that his future dystopia far more resembles the modern American state than the Soviet Union even at the height of Stalin's paranoia, and mostly engenders a sense of misplaced 'anti-authoritarianism'. It is truly some of the best propaganda because it feels true but leads you in the completely wrong direction.
