Let us broach a polemical subject. The British author George Orwell is very well known for works such as Animal Farm, Nineteen Eighty-Four, and his book about the Spanish Civil War, Homage to Catalonia. Throughout 2022 I intend to discuss each of these three works in detail.

Animal Farm isn’t a critique of revolutionaries; it’s a critique of workers. It’s an aristocratic manifesto against the working class.

    Fuck George Orwell/All My Homies Hate George Orwell

    I'll give him credit for being a talented writer and risking his neck in Spain. But everything he writes is tinged with Angloid middle class snobbishness. All the non-white (and several English characters) in Burmese Days are caricatures.
