@Weltansicht He went to Spain to shoot fascists

He was always a leftist.

The right don't understand Orwell and they share it about to virtue signal and pretend they've read a book or two. It's hilarious.

@bastion well I guess everyone has a hobby. Understanding comes from G-D, and so does wisdom. I don't know if they pretend to read, or if they can read, irrelevant if they can't remember what they read. Hilarious maybe, sad more likely. Maybe it is to the point to laugh or to cry.

Have a good weekend Bastion.

Orwell was a leftist that hated leftists because they were sanctimonious pricks that cared not a whit for the welfare of the poor.

@Penrodster He was always a leftist and he shot facists.

@bastion We're not disagreeing I just think you're putting socialists in the 'right wing' category rather than leftist.

@Penrodster Orwell was a socialist.

@bastion He fought in the war against fascists who were socialists. Orwell was also a socialist. He also hated socialists because they viewed common people like coal miners as something to be leveraged for political power.

@Penrodster oh ok lol

@bastion He's got a bunch of great essay, each one about a page. Well worth the read.
