Orwell’s Explanation of His Work “First I spent five years in an unsuitable profession (the Indian Imperial Police, in Burma), and then I underwent poverty and the sense of failure. This increased my natural hatred of authority and made me for the first time fully aware of the existence of the working classes, and the job in Burma had given me some understanding of the nature of imperialism: but these experiences were not enough to give me an accurate political orientation. Then came Hitler, the Spanish Civil War, etc. By the end of 1935 I had still failed to reach a firm decision… Image source: GeorgeOrwellNovels.com

Orwell’s Explanation of His Work The Spanish war and other events in turned the scale and thereafter I knew where I stood. Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it.” From “Why I Write” by George Orwell Millennium Watch, by Vladimir Kush (ca 2010)

Totalitarianism A form of government in which the ruler is an absolute dictator (not restricted by a constitution, laws, or opposition) …with total control of the people: – Armed forces and police – Communication – Economy – Religion – Etcetera! Rejection of natural rights: life, liberty, and property Image source: Heinrich Hoffmann Image Source: Roy Nierkerk Image source: Revista Argentina, Siete Dias Ilustrados, Edition Extra, May Online.

Democratic Socialism Belief that society and economy should be run to meet the needs of all Marx and Engels: “To raise the proletariat to the position of ruling class, to win the battle of democracy.”
