also other books like 1984. (not animal farm)

...

It's an easy and fun read, but to be honest not very high-tier. Together with Animal Farm, It's just too blatantly anti-stalinist literature.

reddit tier. Good introduction lit for preteens I guess

A good book, although not a masterpiece.

This. It's a favorite amongst people who claim to know what they're talking about concerning political affairs, which is a sign that they probably haven't read it, or think they're woke because they focused on the backdrop of the story and not the main point.

Solid and important. Orwell didn't fully get it, but he got it better than most at the time due to his involvement with the jewish Fabian Society and naming of the jew through (((Goldstein))).

It's okay. Orwell's essays are a lot better.

Really good but over-memed and thus overlooked by morons who think that the most important message is a condemnation against any one regime instead of about how politics in general is conducted. If you want the former, read Animal Farm. If you want to understand the importance of 1984, then read the essay Politics in the English Language before reading 1984, and then you'll understand just how bad Orwell thought politics could become, even without the powerful using overtly authoritarian tactics to get their way.
