Where we are all subservient drones who dare not question his totalitarian approach.
And those of us who dare defy him are either put into prison camps or summarily executed for thought crimes.

I've read and own both Animal Farm and 1984. I have not, in fact will not, watch Finding Nemo, neither have I read Moby Dick. I bet the writer is trying to say the're opposites, and if so, I'd heartily disagree. Animal Farm and 1984 are companion "must-read" books if there ever were. Other than the Bible itself, these two books do more to demonstrate the depravity of human government than any other literature I've come across.
Now if somebody wanted to release 1984 and do a simple find&replace "1984" > "2009", that would be the icing on the cake.

"You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against -- then you'll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We're after power and we mean it. Your fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you'd better get wise to it. There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted -- and you create a nation of law-breakers -- and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system...that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be easier to deal with."

In ‘1984’ Winston Smith was unaware of even the truth of the year ,, he thought it was 1984 because that is what the party declared.. perhaps it was truly 2009.
