A year into the Iraq War, the Chicago Tribune asked if it was “any surprise, as we barrel further into political conflict in Iraq and assess our role as a global power, that local theater companies are staging adaptations of George Orwell's books.” At about the same time, I was compelled by a radical friend to watch a documentary with the clumsy title Orwell Rolls in His Grave, which argued that America’s supplicant media were indistinguishable from the Ministry of Truth, that sinister propaganda factory from his anti-Stalinist classic 1984. After the election of Donald Trump, frightened Americans, presumably in anticipation of their country’s long slide into dictatorship, ensured that 1984 sat atop the Amazon bestseller list for weeks.
Reading Taylor’s book, one cannot help but have contempt for those “intellectual graverobbers” who deny the complications of Orwell’s thought in service of cheap ideological point-scoring. He is celebrated by conservatives, though he protested the idea that he was one of them, clarifying in 1945 that “I belong to the left and must work inside it, much as I hate Russian totalitarianism and its poisonous influence in this country.” He stressed that 1984 wasn’t an attack on socialism but did worry that socialism “is not inherently democratic.” And in common with many on the Right, Orwell saw moral equivalence between the 20th century’s two monstrous ideologies, writing in a 1947 letter to journalist Richard Usborne that there was “not much to choose between communism and fascism.”
Orwell’s legacy is one forever connected to the failures and violence of communism, his name forever associated with the obscenities of totalitarianism. The very availability of his catalog is one of the best measures of a country’s political freedom. For the dissident writer, the enemy of cant and doublethink, there can be no greater legacy.

Why are we being censored?
Why are we being attacked daily?
Why are we being condemned by Congress?
1984 thoughtcrime?
What happens when people are no longer allowed to think freely?
What happens when people are no longer allowed to challenge their authority?
What happens when people no longer fight back?

I think those positions are partly based on survey groups, and a bit of a chess move to keep Trump (re)electable.
