British Labour Party By Katie Klotzbach

Thomas Pynchon “Orwell’s politics were not only of the Left, but to the left of Left. He had gone to Spain in 1937 to fight against Franco and his Nazi- supported Fascists, and there had quickly learned the difference between real and phony anitfascism.”

George Orwell “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 know it.”

Democratic Socialism Workers and Trade Unions Publicly funded elections Economy: Intervention Public industries Redistribution

British Labour Party social justice strong community and strong values reward for hard work decency rights matched by responsibilities

Labour’s Policies FAIR RULES FAIR CHANCES FAIR SAY

Ignorance is Strength

The Middle “enlist the Low on their side by pretending to them that they are fighting for liberty and justice. As soon as they have reached their objective, the Middle thrust the Low back into their old position of servitude, and themselves become the High.” Orwell felt the British Labour Party “professed to fight for the working classes against capitalism, but in reality [were] concerned only with establishing and perpetuating their own power” 1984:The Book Within a Book

oublethink Doublethink “For somewhat complex reasons nearly the whole of the English Left has been driven to accept the Russian regime as ‘Socialist,’ while silently recognizing that its spirit and practice are quite alien to anything that is meant by ‘Socialism’ in this country.” George Orwell
