Wasn't George Orwell a socialist?

By your reasoning, or lack thereof, if someone even once says something you disagree with, then they need to be ignored henceforth.

So why would you put a quote from a socialist in your tag line?

I wish you’d find every post on these boards where this crap keeps happening and use your simple logic. Folks like this do nothing all day but chase down threads of EXACTLY what you are pointing out for the sake of getting some rocks off. Thanks for this.

I think the notion that Orwell was a socialist is mythical, not factual. Nothing in his genius suggests a sympathy for tyrants or groupthink. Seems unlikely he would have embraced collectivism after writing Animal Farm, but David Brock did, so anything’s possible. Although Brock is no Orwell, just to be clear
