Nobody seems to find it odd that so many state-funded schools encourage students to read his two most famous works. If Orwell only wanted to warn future generations of ‘big government’, no dictatorship of the bourgeoisie would ever promote his books.
The most scathing indictment of Orwell that I could ever make is that he betrayed whatever Anarchist/Leftist ideology he supposedly believed in. Obviously if he had written books that were actually Anarchist in nature I don't think liberal governments would peddle them as propaganda pieces. Certainly nothing I could say about it would match the thoroughness with which Asimov lays it out.
I thought he was a trot
From everything I understand he aligned himself with an Anarchist group in the Spanish revolution. I have heard him referred to as a social democrat as well, though.
In conclusion, eric blair is a land of incoherence
His actual name is Blair? God, how appropriate.
