Is there anything scarier from a radical leftist??
Orwells most unpardonable sin in Lucas mind was becoming a snitch and an agent of state power. He concludes that by handing over the names of 38 suspected covert Stalinist operatives to a cherished friend who worked for a Labor government that Orwell supported, Orwell became a traitor to the left and its fundamental principle of dissent.The left really believes that people like Stalinist agents (or al Qaeda terrorists) are merely people exercising a "fundamental principle of dissent".
No matter to the Left that there is no such "fundamental principle" in Stalinist or Islamofacist societies.
All the Left wants is to destroy the west. That's all they care about.
The obvious fact that all useful idiots get beheaded once the revolution is successful (whatever the revolution) escapes these useful idiots completely.
(Obviously. If they weren't such idiots, they wouldn't be so useful to tyrants and dictators.)
