Individual rights and freedoms, the things that supposedly separate the "democratic" west from its "authoritarian" adversaries, are being shredded on behalf of Zionism.

1984 was literally based on his time working as a British propagandist (that's why Smith is in the "Ministry of Truth"), so it makes sense.
Edit: I know you probably know this, just mentioning it for the benefit of others
Just have nothing but loathing for the guy, really the worst kind of “leftist”. Imagine your literary legacy as a “leftist” being used as his has.
But anyways for those who haven’t seen it yet heres the review of 1984 by Issac Asimov: http://www.newworker.org/ncptrory/1984.htm

I think you have to have one first to lose it.
The Redsails link collection on 1984 and it's surrounding discourse is a good read. That's where I found that Asimov one in the first place.
winston smith was a self-insert he absolutely would not be surprised at all by this
