Literally all the unhinged shit Orwell was saying about communism came true but under capitalism. Take an example from him and you can flip it for anglo style capitalism instead.
I think you're onto something here. The horizon of the future is always narrowed according to the world you live in, right? So Orwell writes his bullshit farm allegory but he's an Anglo living under capitalism so it only makes sense that the authoritarian dystopia thus imagined has more parallels to the extant late capitalist dystopia. The veneer of communism he slapped on his allegory was always destined to be only as deep as the red paint he put on it.
He worked for the BBC in ww2 and got mad that thi is were being censored in wartime and then wrote a book about how communism is like working for the BBC
makes sense since he based it on his time at the BBC and never visited the Soviet Union
ive been saying that one.
tell me 1984 isnt picturing modern day capitalism.
