I've read through the thread on Orwell. Another one of the regular leftist heros that somehow is hated by ML.

I've seen that the was quite a bit of misrepresenting sources. Overstaying his attraction to his niece to fill in sexual deviancy.

I haven't got the time to read and check sources on the Chomsky article, so I can't say anything on that.

I don't think a British fed known for keeping lists of Jewish people and suspected communists could be considered a "regular leftist hero." There's a reason his books are read in western schooling, and it's precisely to push people away from leftist organizing and to perpetuate the Red Scare. Can you give an example of genuine misrepresentation of Eric Blair?
