    In the original introduction (which very few have read) to Animal Farm that Orwell wished to publish with the book, he stated that it was as much anti-British as anything else because the propaganda systems here in Britain are just as effective, and systems of power just as separate to public representation as anywhere else. In his words, the local methods of coercion are more subtle and clever though through processes that include rampant indoctrination starting from preschool, filtering and framing facts, selection during a journalist career to weed out “difficult” people asking actual questions, and that “it wouldn’t do to say” (literally Orwell’s words) certain things. This introduction was censored ironically (exactly as he was describing in the introduction itself) and even with his introduction removed, Orwell obviously had no choice but to frame the book in a way that suited establishment under the publishers, and various edits were necessary. Look it up for yourself by searching “original introduction to animal farm”.

      Not surprising. Canadian author Farley Mowat wrote a book several decades ago about his visit to Soviet era Siberia (which he wanted to compare with the Canadian Arctic). He quotes a Siberian telling him the principal difference: "You believe in your propaganda, Farley, but we don't believe in ours."

    Animal Farm and 1984 by George Orwell are NOT about "Russia" but about rotting West. Censorship wouldn't allow to publish those book without "Russia" trick.

    • @davidpaterson2309
      @davidpaterson2309 Місяць тому

      Nonsense. Animal Farm is very obviously about the Russian Revolution and (more importantly!) its betrayal by Stalin and the CPSU and the development of totalitarianism under them until - the final point of the book - the animals couldn’t tell the difference between the pigs and the men, the Revolution had failed, the new boss was at least as bad as the old boss. And by the way the main censorship he encountered was from leftwing publishers in Britain who didn’t like such an obviously virulent attack on Stalin - that’s very clear from his own correspondence of the time.
      1984 is much more complicated. Its subject is how totalitarianism sustains itself - through repression, terror, propaganda, an economy based in warfare, the control of “history” and the corruption of language. Some of its model was Stalinist Russia, some of it clearly Nazi Germany (Orwell thought the two were basically indistinguishable in practice - like all totalitarian regimes).
      But you are correct that some of it was about Britain itself - the novel is set in a recognisable, post WW2, bombed-out London, its title is simply a reversal of 1948, when it was written. Britain at the time was bankrupt, exhausted and had a socialist government. It had been “Airstrip One” - a giant bomber base continually under attack - in the latter years of the war. Orwell himself had been a propagandist, working for the BBC - there’s more than a bit of Orwell in Winston Smith. Orwell had long been warning about the corruption of English and the undermining of truth by politics and propaganda (essay “Politics and the English Language”) and “Newspeak” was his warning about where it was heading. Although himself a socialist, he despised many of the British left - who were easily fooled by communist propaganda (or were themselves agents of it). So yes, some of 1984 is recognisably “about” 1948 Britain.
      But the much wider point was that the world risked being divided into three continuously warring superstates or blocs whose ideologies were different only in theory, but which in practice depended in repression, control of information and continuous warfare for their existence. That was a very real threat in 1948 and isn’t far away even now.

      Orwell went to fight the fascists in Spain. In his book Homage to Catalonia he describes how, unlike all the other leftist supporters of the legitimate Republican government, the Soviet controlled Spanish CP closely imitated the USSR's own domination by its Leninist 'vanguard party' . Those authoritarian so-called 'Communists' were the model for his Pigs in Animal Farm: "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others".

    I was a British English language consultant, in Kyiv one year and Odessa three.
    Leaving ten months before Putin invaded.
    A hunch.
    The legacy of corruption, is evident throughout.
    It's too big a subject; believe me.
    I also had a 3 month stint in St Petersburg, and it's a milder form of it.
    Both nations in my experience, are narrow minded, cold hearted people.
    Ukraine less so I suppose.
    But we all know now, the money they've had from the west, has been "unaccounted for"
    They drive the biggest cars also.
    As for freedom, when they had Glasnost and Perestroika by Gorbachev; and continued by Yeltsin, they were uncomfortable with it.
    Somehow they think control is better 🤔
    I still have friends from both countries, and they're wired differently to you and I, is my belief.
    For example last week, my friend Alexei said, it was time for Navalny to die, everyone dies.
    He couldn't understand, the outrage in the 🌏.
    Poisoning and bludgeonry you see, is in its history, and it still continues seemingly.
    So their attitude is one of resignation.
    Thanks for your analysis.

    This summary/explanation is as Orwellian and anything else. It's full of mistruths, bad and unverifiable information, but presented as fact. Animal Farm follows a path of revolution that was just as close to the French Revolution as the Russian one. It's also is a critique of the liberal democracies of the west.

    John 3:16-21
    16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
    Mark 1.15
    15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
    2 Peter 3:9
    The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
    Hebrews 11:6
    6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
