Thanks a lot for this. I was just reading a synopsis of Animal Farm after reading the original many years ago, and this looks like the Communism George Orwell knew. Russia's emergence as the holdout in the amorality of current trends, as well as the emergence of a vibrant Christianity in China after Maoism , makes you wonder whether the best example for changing human behavior( i. e. back to traditional morals) is a really bad example.

Orwell knew Spanish communists, and British, but he got the mentality right generally, I think. Interesting that he himself remained socialist, if I am not mistaken.
