Even though he was a daddy, he suffered from eternal 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧anglo🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 syndrome.
Why was he such a fucking faggot?
No it isn’t. That’s just a retarded thing people say to shut down criticism of the USSR. The fact is that it was woefully deficient in many areas, and deserved criticism which is something Lenin himself said. Orwell went too far in saying it was no better than a capitalist state, but to suggest that this makes him and anti-communist is to ignore the fact that he was active in the socialist movement, actively attempting to build socialism in Britain. Even the worst of his liberal tier offenses, the list, is blown out of proportion by his detractors. Yes it was a betrayal, yes it was snitching. But Stalin betrayed the entire country of Greece to British imperialism and Nazi collaborators. Which one of these betrayals do you think killed more communists? Where is the ☭TANKIE☭ outrage about this betrayal? There is little consistency or intellectual honesty in many criticisms of Orwell.
Some good criticism here and there, but the conclusions it takes are stretching the truth in a manner that is to be expected from a page literally called "Stalinist Society".
The author's inability to understand Orwell's allegory is one thing. The point of the animals' existence and their humanization is to showcase that, while in socialist society everyone provides according to their abilities, in capitalist society, due to the division of labor, you are often reduced to arduous, meaningless work. It's not, as the author implies, saying that "in politics people are no better than animals". Animal Farm reads and is constucted like a fable, be assured that it is a fucking fable. It's not meant to be some nuanced critique of communism. Stop treating it as such.
You can't say that Orwell worked in the interest of capitalism. Orwell's works function in the interest of capitalists specifically because they are taken out of context, which the author admits. What the author doesn't admit though, is how it requires superhuman foresight to know in what way your books will be interpreted several generations after you've written them. It's like saying Hegel was bad because there were Right-Hegelians. It's a stupid argument.
I didn't bother to read much of the article because it's obviously smear and attacking strawmen. It plays very much into the ☭TANKIE☭ lore of "man who criticized me bad". Orwell did a lot of bad shit too, yeah, and you could either decide to criticize him for the bad shit he did, or say "Orwell bad because his books bad".
If he was pro-worker why did he make anti-communist propaganda?
He didn’t. Animal Farm portrays the Russian revolution and socialism as a good thing and 1984 is about propaganda and political control in general.
You have to love how so many of the criticisms of Orwell centre around crazy conspiracy theories that claim that his works all meant the opposite of what he literally said they meant.
considering he literally shilled and snitched for imperialists, maybe, JUST MAYBE he was a lying piece of shit.
Stalin abandoned entire countries to imperialists and Nazi collaborators, resulting in thousands of dead communists. He then excommunicated communists like Tito who refused to let this happen. Was he a lying piece of shit? What Orwell did was deplorable, but ultimately it was just a list of people he told the BBC not to hire. It didn’t even lead to any arrests.
Goodbye shill scum, hopefully you're gone for good this time (who am I kidding, your filth always comes back).
