          Orwell be like “Yeah that guy? He’s a communist. How do I know… he’s. you know… black”

          If people saw the original list he would universally be seen as an actual Nazi, which is why the Orwells are fighting so hard to keep it private. Based on what we know of him there’s no way in hell he didn’t also use “jewish” as the sole evidence someone was a communist.

      They said “do you own” a property that other people pay you to live in. That’s the upper-class part.

          Just because the owning class exploits you, does not mean you are not also exploiting someone.

          Plenty of stories about a long term “roommate” master tenant who charges other roommates market rate that exceeds the mortgage.

          Do you a) Own a property b) that you don’t live in c) that other people who are not family members live in d) and those people pay you?

          If not, you’re not the subject of that comment. If so, congrats on being in the very narrow overlap of the Venn diagram for waiters and landlords.
