Orwell is hardly a socialist. How very nice of him to turn in homosexuals, black people, and actual socialist in to the government. Or to criticize the USSR as they were fending off fascism. Or writing those dogshit books everyone has read.
again, the good take here that njr is within his rights not to share editorial or creative control of the publication. that doesn't make him not a socialist, and is a far cry from the accusations levelled against orwell.
The Road to Wigan Pier is definitely not dog shit. One off the best and most revealing investigative accounts of the miseries of the British working class told through the lives of exploited miners.
Neither is Down and Out in Paris and London. Another tour de force with great insights but also wit and humor about the grinding slog of working menial jobs under the heel of capitalism.

He was a socialist. Not all socialists are woke or non-assholes.

You know, I think most people haven't even read them, or did so once in high school and since have forgotten everything but the meme about the books
Basically NJR is an Orwell socialist. All talk but ready to sound off at the slightest discomfort.

I mainly meant the ones that are always brought up. Animal Farm and 1984.
You know, proof that communism doesn’t work and probably counted in the black book.
He also plagiarized animal farm from an Austrian refugee who intended it to be anti nazi
