If the ideas that George Orwell presents in "Animal Farm" seem like no-brainers, that just means that George Orwell did his job. Huh? More on Orwell and his legacy in this 60second Recap®.

  • everyone knows the danger of totalitairialism i so resent that 

  • AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! You can't seriously think Totalitarianism, Socialism and Communism are all the same! That's the same mistake the animals made on the farm! With your frame of thought Napoleon wins! Beasts of England unite!

  • @skipperdoodification Context be damned - this is WAY off. I guess you can spin anything to make a point. Arguing that Orwell "woke us up to the need to fight totalitarianism and socialism" is questionable at best considering Orwell's political beliefs that he vehemently fought for. The fact that the word "and" is in between doesn't make the argument true. You should be able to understand that - instead you chose to be condescending. Take your revisionist history somewhere else.

  • I think she is meaning communism....

  • This was incorrect....

  • you have a very positive view on humanity

  • @kzilla2001 Yes, Orwell was a socialist. He was also anti-totalitarian. Considered in context, the phrase used in this video -- "socialism and totalitarianism" -- clearly references the Stalinist model of "socialism" (so-called). But you knew that, didn't you? Ah, I love the way the internet empowers all the world's anonymities to be pissants.

  • Orwell didn't make a stand against socialism he was a socialist. Please get your facts straight.
