Orwell wrote 1984 and Animal Farm to warn about such British Stalinists.
The amazing thing is that some leftists have been trying to use 1984 against us, as if it has something to do with Trump, when Orwell explicitly said that Big Brother’s oppressive party was Ingsoc, Newspeak for “English Socialism.” Orwell understood the left and his own people very well.
Sadly, it’s increasingly looking like the UK lost the Cold War, especially when you see how the Brits are cracking down on free speech and thought.
