Becoming a spook, handing over lists of British marxists to the government, and writing anticommunist propaganda involving animals whose animated adaptation is funded by the CIA to own the Leninists
What I learned about this dude in school basically amounted to a hagiography
"One of the greatest writers of all time" my ass
Bereft of historical context, Animal Farm is a good book. But reading it with the understanding that Orwell wrote Snowball as the embodiment of Trotsky is fucking hilarious. Real "great man of history" hours. The revolution would have succeeded if only it were lead by the virtuous Trotsky and not the evil Stalin.
*ahem* I think you mean that the revolution would have continued had it been led by the virtuous Trotsky
Shit, you're right.
