Those descriptions poke my prostate every time
Yet again, 1984 continues to be a metaphor for the USA rather than Stalinst Russia.
Orwell based it on his experiences working for BBC, while never being to USSR, so no wonder.
Orwell also explicitly stated it was about “American millionaires” and “petty Hitlers of the de Gaulle type” in the west.
As well as “Stalin” because he was a piece of shit who only claimed to be socialist for clout while actually living and breathing the British empire.
But still it’s worth noting that 1984 was very intentionally also about capitalism in the west. His anti-communism is obvious at the surface but he was also saying what is happening in the west is the same thought control that he perceived as present under Stalin.
