Several years ago the HR manager at my General Dynamics facility threatened us with being, “Sentenced to attend a mandatory one week political correctness retraining seminar.” Those were his exact words. We all knew that sending any of us anywhere in Michigan for a week would cost $3000 each and the company would never pay the cost. Therefore we would be “sentenced” to get fired or laid off. The thing that caught our attention was how easily the words “sentenced” and “political correctness” rolled off his tongue.
As strange as this seems, George Orwell predicted it all in his greatest work 1984. His Hero and broken Hero worked for the “Ministry of Truth”, Harry Winston.
Actually his work of equal greatness was “Letters from Catalonia.” Orwell went to Spain to fight for the communists and there discovered the dark underbelly of communism. They tried to kill him while in Spain and he was on their side. Heretics were not to be tolerated. His time in Spain was the basis of thought that created 1984.
To his death he remained a socialist light quasi libertarian. If he had lived 20 years more he would have been a conservative hard right.
A most brilliant man was George Orwell. He found out that communism was a great evil. He did not realize the same about socialism as he died young. He would have if he lived longer.
Was that more of 0zero’s directives for defense contractors in order to do business with the feral government? Did you have to pretend homosexuals were normal and should be honored and celebrated? Did you have to affirm that islam is the religion of pieces?
