Socialism is ace. Like George orwell said, its makes sense

@Entwistle it's about failed socialism and how revolutions can be hijacked by dictators.
It's his take on the Soviet Union under Stalin.

Even he has said this.

@MethDozer He also said it isn't about Socialism.

[quote] I meant the moral to be that revolutions only effect a radical improvement when the masses are alert and know how to chuck out their leaders as soon as the latter have done their job. The turning-point of the story was supposed to be when the pigs kept the milk and apples for themselves. [/quote]


Hmmmmmm

[quote]. Of course I intended it primarily as a satire on the Russian revolution. But I did mean it to have a wider application in so much that I meant that that kind of revolution (violent conspiratorial revolution, led by unconsciously power-hungry people) can only lead to a change of masters. I meant the moral to be that revolutions only effect a radical improvement when the masses are alert and know how to chuck out their leaders as soon as the latter have done their job. The turning-point of the story was supposed to be when the pigs kept the milk and apples for themselves. If the other animals had had the sense to put their foot down then, it would have been all right … What I was trying to say was, “You can’t have a revolution unless you make it for yourself; there is no such thing as a benevolent dictat[or]ship.” [/quote]

@MethDozer You can 'HMMM' all you want. George also said it's not an anti Socialist statement. 1984 that is.

@Entwistle I didn't say it was anti-socialist either. That's not what you said originally.


You said it is about capitalism and not socialism. When he said it is about a failed socialist revolution. Which he said it was.

@MethDozer You appear to have trouble comprehending what i said.
I said 'its more recognizable within Capitalism'...some folk having more than others that is.

@Entwistle Okie dokie. 🤦
