Did Orwell leave any notes on how to prevent this?

Yeah, I think it was titled "1984". In all seriousness that book is a muat read.

Yeah...
Democratic Socialism.
We're doomed.
>>75962875
Yeah it has to do with pic related and the importance of one hanging in your wall.

We can only hope there is a massive surge in Nationalist populism in the next decade.

I cringed when reading his thoughts on the economy and political philosophy.

Did Orwell happen to define muat?
>>75963014
>Democratic socialism
Can someone explain the difference between democratic socialism and socialism
>damn I hate these fascist governments
>if only we had a fascist government
/pol/ logic

With democratic socialism, sometimes you get to vote for someone.

>1984
>Fascist
EngSoc is newspeak for English Socialism.

Even Leftists know Socialism is inherently totalitarian, as it involves the Government using force to reallocate resources. So they try to disguise it by adding the word Democratic. It's a complete ruse though.
You could vote in the Soviet Union.
You can vote in North Korea.
But it doesn't matter much, because they've silenced all opposition.

socialism/communism = murder
"democratic" socialism = assisted suicide
I find it amusing that people claim that Europe has become like the world in 1984.
It is way worse than that.

This is an Orwell thread. Go read Notes on Nationalism and learn that you're actually speaking about patriotism.

It basically describes how the socialism got there in the first place. Kind of like if you had a democratic monarchy it would have a monarch, just one people voted for.
Basically they try to put rose petals next to the word "socialist" to confuse people and virtue signal further.
Kill the people responsible
Good luck doing this, though.

Democratic socialism is crony capitalism where politicians use plundered tax money to finance their own businesses.
Socialism is socialism. They're two very different things

he elaborated in The Lion and The Unicorn, wikipedia has a useless tl;dr. I have the book at home, but currently I'm at work.
>It expressed his opinion that the outdated British class system was hampering the war effort, and that in order to defeat Hitler, Britain needed a Socialist revolution. Therefore, Orwell argued, being a Socialist and being a Patriot were no longer antithetical, but complementary.
>As a result, "The Lion and the Unicorn" became an emblem of the revolution which would create a new kind of Socialism, a democratic "English Socialism" in contrast to the oppressing Soviet model - and also a new form of Britishness, a Socialist one liberated from Empire and the decadent old ruling classes. Orwell specified that the revolutionary regime may keep on the royal family as a national symbol, though sweeping away the rest of the British aristocracy.

I find it crazy that Orwell was from the UK and yet now UK is the embodiment of surveillance

Fuck off with your retarded shit. Democratic socialism is the systems we had/have in Scandinavia and some other Europeans countries. You're telling me the USA for example is more democratic than fucking Denmark or Sweden?
