I was bored and decided to browse Imgflip and I found a meme where they claim George Orwell was a socialist. Some of you probably know that Imgflip’s comment section is filled with rabid reactionaries and libs who refuse to read.

Like this person here. Post

I’m only posting it here is because now I had enough of this person and I just want your take on this, fellow hexbearers.

    Just because Orwell was a Trotskyite and a snitch doesnt mean he wasn’t a socialist. Trotskyites are by definition socialists just like MLMs, Hoxhoaists or Syndicalists. And even Rosa snitched on of her rival party members to the Okhrana. Its just a matter of did you like who they snitched on or not.

      Politics is not a battle between good and evil, it’s a matter of getting shit done, hopefully mostly good shit ofc.
