Honestly this. I'm probably more of an Orwell apologist than most c.c posters, but I don't think that or Animal Farm have ever been presented as anything but anti-communist propaganda in American public schools, and they're admittedly quite fit for that purpose.
Yeah I can’t wait til my nephew reads animal farm for school so I can give him some extra nuance about where Orwell comes from and his role in “anti fascism” so to speak.
Wait, didn't Orwell allegedly try to rape his childhood friend or cousin or something? I seem to remember hearing that at one point. I guess that might explain his literary tendencies, huh
Man, fuck that guy. I agree with one of the other comments in here, Fahrenheit 451 beats the shit out of 1984, and Bradbury was a much, much better writer overall.

Orwell's best book imo is Down And Out in Paris & London
Homage to Catalonia

Are you sure, I recall enjoy it and I have to second @Leper_Messiah in not remembering that at all.
Maybe I ended up with a bowderlized version.
