"The underlying fact was that the whole position of the moneyed class had long ceased to be justifiable. The existence of these people was by any standard unjustifiable. They were simply parasites, less useful to society than his fleas are to a dog." - George Orwell

Orwell was a rapist, anti-communist, pro-imperialist, nazi simp. Animal farm did more anti-communist propaganda than any other work since it's assigned to children in schools. Fuck Orwell.

I think youre giving him too much credit. If it wasnt for the obscene amount of money that the usa invested on him, he woldnt have achieved even a fraction of what he did. Because his writing was too mediocre.

Also, you forgot to mention his crimes as a colonialist in India.
