@rangeclerk Orwell was a self-described socialist. What he deplored was totalitarianism in any form - he opposed fascism and Stalinism (not the same as opposing communism and certainly far from opposing socialism). Socialism does not oppose the indivdual. It values all individuals equally - hence educating and providing health care to all rather than basing such necessities on only those who are financially successful. 1984 depicts the evils of totalitarianism, not of socialism.

03.15-03.47 in the film was the bit in the book that really disturbed me. With Winston sobbing quietly in the background...This is excellent TV

@AnthonyJDBurns Owell hated Socialism or any other sys that is against the INDIVIDUAL and this also includes society based on Theology as well. Remember the Christian Inquest? Martin Luther had said that had he been around when Coper. came up with the idea that the Earth orbits the sun, he would have had Coper burned at the stake. Look what extremists did to Galieo or the extremist muslims..cs lewis is a jerk and a commie lover.

I'm not sure that 1984 speaks to religion, but in fascist states where religion is banned the point is to channel religious passion towards adoration of the state, especially when there is a figurehead, like BB here. North Korea's idol is their long-dead leader. It's just like now when creationists are taught to parrot that scientists are all evil liers, and when Muslims declare submission is the only true freedom

Truly frightening...When you realise that such people as O'Brien and such places as '1984' exist today and now..This is really harrowing.
