Dude that's hilarious, or it would be, except that Orwell remained a Libertarian-Socialist/Democratic-Socialist his entire life, and was a critic of authoritarianism, whatever ideology it might claim.
Thanks for reminding me that
1984 was 36 years ago.
It used to be the title of a sci-fi novel
bY George Orwell, who had been a socialist
until he saw how
(while nice in theory)
bad it is in practice. ( and everyone born before November 1988
will be over 35 by election day in 2024 )
No that title would no longer seem like
a sci-fi dystopia of the deep future
( like HG Wells "Time Machine"
where the Morlocks were raising
the Eloi for food ); But worse - now a bunch of millenials
think socialism is a good idea,
and there are people
who weren't even born in 1984
who are now old enough
to be president. ( and everyone born before
November 1988
will be over 35 by
election day in 2024 )
