Background about the origin of 1984 and George Orwell

Trumps advisor used the words „alternative facts“ instead of just „lies“ or „untruths“. Many reporters made comparisons to „1984“. „1984“ climbed up to number one of the sold book charts.

George Orwell 1903: He was born in India. 1927: He quit his job as policeman in India due to moralic reasons. 1937: He fought against Franco and the stalinistic resistance movement in Spain. 1939: When the Hitler-Stalin-Pact was signed, he felt like Stalin has betrayed the socialistic ideals. In World War II he wrote war reports. 1945: he published „Animal Farm“.

Origins of 1984 George Orwell wrote 1984 on the island „Jura“ without electricity or a phone in his house The title is 1984 because it takes place in the future that it is still connected with the present. 1948 and 1984 have the same numbers in it. It was published in 1949 due to a delay in hospital. It criticizes the sowjet unions government and the absolutism of f.e. Nazi-Germany or Spain (Franco)

„1984“´s present meaning George Orwell was right in many ways with his dystopic visions of the future. This dystopia is often quoted to criticize observation (EU´s project „INDECT“) It also criticizes censorship and could be interpreted as a critic of the political correctness and euphemisms.

Conclusion „1984“ is more than a revenge on Stalin vor perverting the marxistic ideas and ideals, it is also a warning to the world, to not twist the words "freedom" and "peace" into slavery and war, and to respect and keep individuality, to allow doubts and prevent absolutistical systems and dictatures.
