He deserves it for completely cucking over later in life.

Tbh maybe both. He considered himself a marxist, but didn't really apply any of what he supposedly believed in when he was president. It could've had something to do with marxism simply losing a lot of popularity, but still. He's also often compared to Obama, Ghandi, etc by people that don't know his past or knowingly ignore it, so it could be a bit of both.
Juan Torres
I read here claims that Michael Foucault was misinterpreted about intentionality. So what was his intersectionality and how does it differ from how it's currently used?
Orwellian just means being like what Orwell warned against so that's not really wrong.
Juan Phillips
He shouldn't have snitched, but I think it gets blown out of proportion. Probably intentionally, since Stalinists constantly try to completely and personally discredit anyone who ever criticized Stalin for any reason.
Orwell absolutely did NOT warn against people attacking the accuracy of the press. If anything, he warned against the opposite.
Christopher Wood
Sorry I am drunk. I didn't know he said anything about press specifically.
Christian Fisher
he also shouldn't have written anti-communist propaganda, been a trot wrecker, or served in India, but look at the guy, he was literally hitler
Cameron Long
Not specific people but the 56' and 68' situations in Hungary and Czechoslovakia are horribly misunderstood by the general public. No one wanted free-market capitalism who was involved with 56' or 68'; the leaders wanted a reformed version of socialism in both cases, while under them were a broad collection of libertarian socialists, left social democrats, trots, and yes, a few opportunistic fascists. Regardless of whether or not (as a leftist) you agree or disagree with the Soviet interventions, we can all agree that they were not intervening against a populace supporting liberal capitalist policies
Daniel Anderson
The CIA literally gave a bunch of guns to Horthyite exiles and sent them into Hungary, it was called Operation REDSOX. The tanks were 100% justified and necessary.
Eli Jenkins
Chase Lee
From what I'm able to find, apparently REDSOX was more or less a failure, and mostly targeted the baltic region. I'm not saying you are wrong but do you have a source saying otherwise?
