It's funny cause the book was banned in the USSR for being anti-communist, but it also was banned in the USA for being pro-communist.

@Gloomy As ironic as that is, it does make sense. George Orwell was a Socialist, so America hated him. But he was a real Socialist whose books were about the horror of Authoritarianism, so the Soviet Union hated him too.
