#20 outspoken support of democratic socialism?

George Orwell was an unvarnished critic of any and all forms of totalitarianism, despite what your Marxist high school teachers shoveled into your young brain.

Even as a child in the '50s when I first read Nineteen Eighty Four, it was apparent to me that his primary target was English Socialism. Read it again, and this time remover your Foucault Filter.

Lissa,
it's target was communism. There's a big difference. In many European countries exist labour parties which are exactly this: democratic socialist parties. sm_80

Emma,

What do you think "Ingsoc" means? What is "Newspeak" if not "Political Correctness?" Soft totalitarianism is nonetheless totalitarianism.

A "socialist party" could never be a "democratic" party.

Hetty,
Well maybe should you look up the term "democratic socialism" and you will see that you are wrong. But I guess facts are not your thing.

I didn't know that "pls don't use discriminating words" equals totalitarianism. Pls tell the people in North Korea or even Russia how oppressed you are.

Daph,

Political Correctness has nothing to do with "pls don't use discriminating words." Political Correctness is about forcing others to follow your rules, ergo Totalitarianism.

Simple, really. Tyranny with manners is nonetheless tyranny.

#11 Paris's brothels closed and sex workers openly mourned his death. Not because he had kept them rich and busy, but because Victor Hugo characterized prostitutes as human beings in a difficult situation. In a time where they were ostracized and rejected as scum, he wrote to humanize them.

#16 that was the last war where the soldiers on the other side of the line were considered people, not monsters.

#25 testing the vest while pointing at his head.
