>Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic Socialism, as I understand it.
What did he mean by this?

hmm as far as i can tell he meant that every line of serious work that he wrote since 1936 was directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic Socialism, as he understood it.

He meant he took the communist blue pill which allows you to imagine any form of socialism as something other than a step toward totalitarian communism.
He meant nothing by it

Read "Homage to Catalonia" and you will find out. He fought in the Spanish Civil War for a socialist militia that ended up being eliminated by the Stalinists rather than Franco.

He like Atlee. Pretty straightforward

>le slippery slope
Is that really a communist jew? Where does he get off writing books in the first place?
He ended up backing the wrong horse in the, "we'll make it so you can't say shit, can't own anything scary, and we'll live by double think."
There's is no doubt he'd be talking shit about SJWhores and similar on Twitter if he was alive.
The greatest trick the Bolsheviks ever pulled was convincing the world they represented Marxism and were "communists".
If Marx had still been around he would have used a favourite phrase of his; "If that is Marxism, then I am not a Marxist."

Shhh can't have anyone questioning the narrative that all socialism is Bolshevism.

Probably the single greatest voice against tyranny in the 20th century and this is the only myopic shit for brains bullshit you can muster?
He was an Anarco-socialist and fought with anarchists against against authoritarian fascists. He was one of the few writers of that era who's only political agenda was the truth. He used simple technique to predict political events with startling accuracy. Homage to Catalonia and everything else he wrote blatantly proves itself.
And all your eco-chaimber /pol/ack bullshit can comprehend is "socialism bad" "Red pill Blue pill" "Coke or Pepsi". You would think that Orwell would be something both right and left would rush to support unanimously. But no, the level of simple education on the right is so low as to render a ready hand to authoritarian and dark age thought.
Take your Red Pill and go play kung-fu against imaginary robots that you think rule the world. Real hackers have already shown us the truth and no one reads it because we are to busy playing video games.

My favorite Quote from Homage is " The Soviet Union is the greats counter-revolutionary force in Europe today"
