Sorry, son, it is you who doesn't know George Orwell's biography. A socialist he was. He fought on the side of the anarchists in Barcelona, as did many artists with any shred of integrity in the 30s. 1984 was an anti-totalitarian novel, this is correct. But Ayn Rand is right in there with the totalitarians, I must say. Look at the war mongers today citing her work as justification for all manner of atrocities.
The premise of 1984 was not economic, it was political. Orwell was a fighter against authoritarianism be it right wing or left. Clearly you don't understand the political spectrum. The philosophy of liberty is aligned with Orwell in his stance against totalitarianism.
Oh my God. These people are conservative whackos. Ayn Rand is a 10th rate philosopher at best. An apologist for unobstructed egoism and little more. She is somone you read when your 15.
All conservative whackos should know that Orwell was a committed socialist. In the 1930s Orwell fought on the side of the anarchists in Catalonia against Franco's right-wing fascist forces. You conservative whackos have little grounding in history. You're like a cult.

@bapyou Wow. What an idiot.
