In Orwell’s dystopian view of the future the government, “aka big brother,” controlled all news and changed history at will via the “Ministry of Truth.” Today we have the same with the media but it is not controlled by big brother but is an active partner with the far left which will become “big brother.” It is almost the same as in Orwell’s 1984.
Orwell warned us. We did not listen.
Odd fact about Orwell. He went to Spain and did fight for the Communists as a loyal adherent of that philosophy during the Spanish Revolution. In Spain he discovered what Marxism was and returned to Britain as a socialist libertarian. If his life was not cut short by tuberculosis I suspect he would have become a hard core conservative.
If one wants to understand Orwell, read his book “Letters from Catalonia.” This was really his philosophical change in life. From this came his great novel, “1984.”
