      …what? I criticized Orwell for his hatred of the working class, anti-semitism, homophobia, work with MI6, anti-communism, being a sex-pest, and criticizing the country that was responsible for 85% of Nazi soldiers killed during World War II in the midst of fighting said genocidal invader. The issue wasn’t “thinking for himself,” it’s him being a social fascist antisemitic fed. Critique of him is by no means hypocritical.

        Do you have some theory reading which supports that, comrade? If not then you should read more theory, comrade. Make sure to post like 15 paragraph replies when you’re done compiling your theories.

          I already posted the sources for Orwell being a piece of shit at the beginning of this conversation, though that certainly isn’t “theory.” It’s just documenting how much of a piece of shit Orwell was as a human being.

            Comrade earlier you said that the CPSU was a failure, why are you so critical of glorious leaders, comrade? Would it be so bad if they were in charge of everything, comrade? You need to read more theory, comrade.

              This is just incoherent slop, are you doing it for your personal amusement? Is defending an antisemitic homophobic fed worth it to you?

              Plus, I never said the CPSU was a failure.
