Orwell was a hardcore communist that fought in the Spanish Civil War.

Once he realized what communism actually was (I assume he climbed the ranks and got closer to the kikes) he abandoned it and wrote 1984 in order to warn the world of what (((communists))) have in plan for them.

Once you are finished with that one read Starship Troopers by Heinlein. Assuming you already read Turner Diaries?

Orwell, a.k.a. Eric Blair, worked for the BBC during World War Jew while his wife worked for the Ministry of Information. Because of his connections to (((intellectual, literary circles))) and the (((UK government))) Blair knew how things really worked behind the scenes. Aside from the futuristic setting and a few sci-fi and dramatic embellishments 1984 was an accurate depiction of Britain in the thirties and forties.

Its only gotten worse since then.

Read Brave New World next. The future isn’t one or the other, but a combination of the two.

In 1984, people are afraid of the totalitarian government. I’m Brave New World, they’re less totalitarian, but the people love them.

Animal Farm was Orwell's critique of communism. The subversion of the 'revolution' in that book has some notable similarities to our current situation.

1984 was Orwell's critique of liberalism (aka IngSoc).

Brave New World was similarly prophetic.

BNW was correct that drugs and sexuality would be effective tools of control. Orwell's totalitarian state also exists for those attempting to exit the control matrix.

Yep. We are seeing parts of both stories come alive.

Eric Arthur Blaire (nom de plume, George Orwell) was from a landed gentry family in decline. Dad was a Sub-Deputy Opium Agent in the British Indian Civil Service ensuring that the Spice must flow. Mum moved Eric back to Merry Ol' and after an Eton education, a hitch with the Indian Police and a detour fighting against the Francic Forces in España, young Eric dove into the Parisian Left Bank Lost Generation literary scene, eschewed his (comparatively) privilege roots and became a legit Author. Disillusioned with the vacuous narrative he fought for in Spain and bolstered by the tales of woe heard from Russian expats fleeing the Lenin/Trotsky shit show and having rubbed shoulders with some Fabian Socialist friends of his mum all his life, Geroge ran things to their logical conclusion, put 2+2 together and came up with 4. Penned Animal Farm & 1984 as screed warnings to The West which neglected to listen hard enough.

I believe the Fabian Socialist chose a wolf cloaked in sheepskin for their symbol, iirc. Interesting

I remember doing a paper on it like 20 years ago. The parallels were there then, just a little more subtle.

Lol, when i was a kid, we had 2 State owned and ran channels (that closed down at midnight till 6 am), i shit you not - the channels were called 'TV ! and TV 2'. It was sometime in my early teens we got a third more 'progressive' channel (called TV/ Channel 3 lol). After 'privatization of state owned assets' Cable become more common and less expensive and a proliferation of all sorts of normie nonsense channels.

I read it around 12. Definitely changed how I thought of things after 911 and the proxy wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Hussein Soetoro being elected even though non American and then the 2008 economic crash and repeated blunders leading up to coronaronadingdong.

Now everything is fucked and the jew communists run the world with globalists.

Orwell borrowed most of the themes in 1984 from a russian author Yevgeny Zamyatin whose novel is entitled " WE". This book was so controversial that it was banned and took more than a decade to be publicized in France. Orwell admitted that it had inspired 1984.

We establishes the baseline story and environment for 1984. 1984 translated and embellished the ideas for an American audience. Both are awesome.
