Honest SOCIALISM is still Orwellian Thought Crime in capitalist America


      While invoking Orwell,Big Brother,Newspeak in ridiculing pro-war, pro-capitalist, Donald Trump," Two Minutes Hate "  Republicans,  liberal Democrats in the Hillary camp should not forget another inconvenient truth: George Orwell was a life long Socialist. In one article he even stated that " socialism should be obvious ".
To be sure , pro-war, pro-capitalist Hillary Clinton is no antagonistic Emmanuel Goldstein ( who was actually patterned after Leon Trotsky ).
And Bernie Sanders is but a pale shadow of the American socialist Eugene V. Debs.
Honest SOCIALISM is still THOUGHT CRIME in capitalist America.

  [ Trotsky as potential real-life origin


Trotsky, 1918
Not long after the novel's appearance,[1] a number of contemporary commentators noticed that the biography, appearance, writing style, and political thought of Emmanuel Goldstein resembled that of Leon Trotsky.
