Yes, read it but I’d argue that reading “Brave New World” is a far better prescriptive for the way our freedoms will die. “Animal Farm” is good for any young’n who likes the fantasy of revolution too.

Yeah, I’ve been recommended that before. The character of Snowball in AF is why I briefly thought Trotsky was ok. Not a fan anymore. The one Communist I guess I do admire is Dubcek and to another extent Gorbachev. Guys like Deng Xiaopeng and Zhou Enlai in China fascinate me but I am not an admirer of either man.
