The Stalin Society on Orwell
Even better than I had anticipated. As you’d expect for one of Stalin’s greatest critics he receives an immensely lengthy diatribe, most peculiarly aimed at a book written to help students studying the text for school.
At one stage it quotes the inimitable, Mugabe-loving Lalkar:
Having read anti-communist trash such as Animal Farm, they feel sufficiently well-equipped to become experts on the former USSR and to pontificate about the degeneration of the ideals of the Russian Revolution from every platform, and through every medium provided to them courtesy of the imperialist bourgeoisie.
and the article basically rants for thousands and thousands of words in a quite straightforward fashion. The total evasion of Orwell’s main complaints, (deliberate?) misunderstanding of the central message and premise of Animal Farm and constant attempts to proclaim Orwell a Trotskyite are all pretty pleasing.
Did you attend the meeting or did you just read the text on the site?
Fucking liberal trots.
