GEORGE ORWELL WAS A SOCIALIST.

axinomancy:

“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.”

— George Orwell, 1946

repost if you’re sick of right-wing blowhards acting like he was on their side.
