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?
