not bad tbhwyfam
blasting through it pretty quickly and the writing isn't too bad. The only issue I have is its not nearly as "selfish" as I thought it'd be. I'd honestly prefer if it's moral was genuinely "fuck you all, I got mine".
The Left can do without your kind, thank you very much.

He was literally warning about communism in all his work.
Have you read any of his essays and non fictions?

Not this shit again.
Learn. To. Read. Or fuck off back to the containment board.

>In addition to this there is the horrible — the really disquieting — prevalence of cranks wherever Socialists are gathered together. One sometimes gets the impression that the mere words 'Socialism' and 'Communism' draw towards them with magnetic force every fruit-juice drinker, nudist, sandal-wearer, sex-maniac, Quaker, 'Nature Cure' quack, pacifist, and feminist in England.
Might as well throw you SJWs in with the lot!
I don't think you've read a single piece by Orwell other than Animal Farm in middle school.
Yes, it's a section in road to wigan pier where he describes what ails the rise of communism i.e. It's jist unseemliness to the common man.
He endorses socialism throughtout that entire half of the book and more or less admonishes anyone who isn't.
I know you know this. What compels you to do these things?
This famous quote has already been explained in its context several times. I seem to remember the last user told telling us he would never come back to Veeky Forums (he had wandered in from Veeky Forums), us being smug know-it-alls. Perhaps we'll have a repeat?
One can hope.
Correction*
Communism = Socialism and jist = just
Triggered, much?
My favorite is this one:
>What compels you to do these things?
Keep on playing in your ideological sandbox. It's very amusing for the rest of us.

very good post

>mfw I realise the truth of this
Veeky Forums was famously the least /pol/ board on Veeky Forums for years.
The recent explosion of /pol/fags seems to just so happen with the decline of Veeky Forums actually reading books.
I dunno why /pol/ eats up stories about communists getting "redpilled" but refuses to believe the reverse ever happens.
Like /leftypol/ is literally a former /pol/yp refugee camp.
Bitch I'm not even a leftist. I'm just interested to know why you're so compelled to lie and aggravate.
Link to that thread?
That's right. Back to octoroon chan with you lot.
leftypol was never "pol refugee camp"
It was leftists upset that /pol/ had too much right-wing content and deciding to make their own politics board where they could ban it all, in spite of the fact that /pol/ isn't explicitly left OR right and often switches between either side depending on the time of day, whether you took a shit that morning, or how a flock of butterflies influenced the weather in the atlantic.
leftists you need to stop getting so fucking butthurt that people have differing opinions from you
>in spite of the fact that /pol/ isn't explicitly left OR right
You don't genuinely believe this.
I'll have a look for it.
It is though. There's regularly /leftypol/ threads about why they used to be /pol/yps and why they changed their minds.
>in spite of the fact that /pol/ isn't explicitly left OR right and often switches between either side depending on the time of day
Are you mentally retarded?
>thinks i'm a socialist because i call him out on his high school level reading of animal farm
never change Veeky Forums
i know right, i refuse to believe stormfags have that much self awareness
>Veeky Forums hates plebs
>blacks are all plebs
It's not polite to bring up but it's always been the case.
The whole point of Animal Farm was that both communism AND capitalism are equally bad and exploitative of the people. Pretty sure he was some sort of socialist.
the point was that heirarchy naturally leads to authoritarianism, regardless of who occupies the highest rungs of the heirarchy.
He was a socialist warning other socialists about the dangers of the then dominant strain of socialism, vanguard socialism.
His popularity outside of socialist circles emerges from the ruling elite pushing the narrative that a) he is saying socialism or communism inherently lead to authoritarianism and b) that if you don't live under the kind of oppressive regimes he describes in Animal Farm or 1984 that you are not oppressed
His notion of the authoritarian states is fairly unsophisticated, although ideas like winstons sincere engagement in the 2 minutes hate show more nuance, and this is useful for those in power to say 'we're not authoritarian, we haven't put telescreens in your hourses!'
He fought in the Lenin Barracks in Spain. There's a crowd picture somewhere with him and his mates waving a hammer and sickle banner. It's not even ambiguous.
