October 16, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Not inexpensive, it is also part of "My Country Right or Left 1940-1943: The Collected Essays Journalism & Letters of George Orwell - Volume 2" - also not cheap, but you get close to 500 pp of Orwell (these 3 essays as one takes up about 50 pp in that volume). Suggested reading by Billy Bragg. The first part, "England Your England" is reprinted many places - it is the other two parts that are hard to come by.

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

What Can I ay, lokd for copy of this book since college, Amazon gave me a price I could not refuse !! I was ready to buy it and over $300. This book is a must read if you are taking political science in College and vastly important for anyone who believes in NO WAR, in equality and progressiveness.
Note; I simply love Jeff Bezoz, hes brilliant, foresighted and a really stellar Human Being !!!!

England's greatest democratic-socialist

April 15, 2002

Format: Hardcover

When people think of Orwell, they remember him as an anti-Communist and a defender of liberal democracy. This is most certainly correct, but it should also be remembered that he was also a socialist, and a socialist of the old school. In The Lion & The Unicorn, originally published as a pamphlet in the style of Paine or Cobbett, he attacks both the class system of England and its capitalist economic system. He thought that the "inefficiency of private capitalism has been proved all over Europe" and that World War II has "turned Socialism from a text-book word into a realisable policy." As a socialist, he thought that socialists had to make "our words take physical shape." He advocated a 6 point plan that would transform England into a socialist country, which included "Nationalisation of land, mines, railways, banks and major industries" and the "Limitation of incomes, on such a scale that the highest tax-free income in Britain does not exceed the lowest by more than ten to one." One gets the impression that Orwell and Castro would have found a broad area of agreement. For Orwell, freedom, democracy, and socialism, were not incompatible, but were tightly bound together. He went to fight in the Spanish Civil War for the democratic republic, but fought alongside Marxists, Trotskiests, and Anarchists. Calling himself a "democratic socialist" was no contradiction to Orwell.
However, it should be remembered that this book was written in the 1940s. The world was a different place then. The political landscape has changed. If Orwell were alive now, what would his political opinions be? Who knows? You might as well ask what would Thomas Paine's political beliefs be if he were alive today. Anyone who hazards a guess, and there have been many, usually transposes their own political beliefs onto Orwell. Only one thing is certain: Orwell was a man of his time. This book, as do his other writings, reflect this. This is why he will be remembered. To read Orwell is to capture a moment in history, articulated by a man who was deeply involved in the political life of his time, in much the same way as Paine, Hazlett, or Cobbett was. One comes to Orwell and breaths the political atmosphere of the age, and takes from him what is relevant to one's own self. What that will be will vary from one person to another. For my own part, it is satisfying to read someone who believes as passionately in socialism as he does in democracy, and argues for both with the same conviction; who believes in physical courage in fighting against injustice, -"manliness", if you will; who saw through the myth of British Imperialism; and who saw through the horrible snobbishness of the English class system.

Orwell at his most radical.

October 23, 1998

Format: Hardcover

The Lion and the Unicorn
George Orwell's The Lion and the Unicorn I believe shows him at his best,not afraid to call out for revolution in the middle of the Blitz.In the third part of the book (The English Revolution) Orwell describes his belief that if the war is to go on there must be a Socialist revolution in England and "The Gutters of the streets will flow with blood",if neccesary. This is one of his most differential pieces of work contradicting to an extent almost everthing else he has written .He still calls for the destruction the class system and a fair electoral system but now he comes out in favour of the revolution and putting across (and I believe rightfully so) the true Socialistic principles as told by Karl Marx. His most provocative work.

The delusion of a genius

May 24, 2017

Format: Mass Market Paperback

George Orwell was a genius as a writer, but he was very ignorant of economics and delusional about Socialism.

He believed that the government owning and controlling all the major industries would make things run more efficiently. He actually wanted farmers to become salaried employees of the state, rather than owning their own farms.

He also seemed to think his ideal socialist government, which would "shoot traitors" and stamp out rebellion "cruelly," would be respectful of rights, including freedom of the press. That was a serious delusion. Maybe he didn't have all the hindsight we have today of seeing Cuba, Vietnam, Venezuela, and so on. He did see the USSR (read Animal Farm)- but for some reason he never seemed to realize that a government that owns and controls just about everything will eventuality treat regular people like trash.

This essay is a very interesting read as a cautionary tale of how things don't work out like intellectuals think they should.
