BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU

Newspeak, Doublethink, Big Brother, the Thought Police - the language of 1984 has passed into the English language as a symbol of the horrors of totalitarianism. George Orwell's story of Winston Smith's fight against the all-pervading Party has become a classic, not the least because of its intellectual coherence. First published in 1949, it retains as much relevance today as it had then.

ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS

A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice, and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned –a razor-edged fairy tale for grown-ups that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible.
When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh.

    • Wouldn't even say its history. Its a prediction to the future

        Its a prediction to the future

        The book is set in the past

        • But strangely prophetic to current day events

        • +1

          Well, it was set in the future when it was written.

          Coincidentally 1984 is when the movie Threads was released, whose events have not yet transpired forty years later but which still have a slither of a chance of coming true.

        • Do you know what allegory is?

        Its a prediction to the future

        1984 increasingly feels like a blueprint for today's reality in many parts of the West.

    • Yer me too.

      I got marked down for suggesting it was a love story. Julia and Winston's.

  • Highly recommended to all ccp students and shills.
    I would like to include maga members but they are probably illiterate.

    • This is not a banned book in China, nor the Animal Farm.

      It's often cited when satirizing the Soviet Union in the old days. and now used to satirize "mainstream media" brainwash

  • +1

    This is literally 1984.

  • Animal Farm is OK. I wouldn’t call it a particularly good book in its own right. It’s dated to the Soviet Era. Haven’t read 1984 for a while though.

  • Cool always wanted to read 1984

  • -1

    Haven't read it but I think it's an exact, word-for-word prediction about what's happening in my state right now.
