    Read the review I posted written in 1937 by an actual communist who lived in Lancashire, and you will see how condescending and idealist Orwell’s middle class socialism is.

      I mean in 1984 he literally treats the proletariat as mindless hogs that are satisfied with starvation as long as they have bingo and sex, meanwhile the only really awake people are the middle class, which is obviously why they are the ones most controlled because they are the true threat and force of socialism.
