re: #380 Walter L. Newton

That article is way off the mark. Orwell was building his case against totalitarianism. He himself was a socialist, closer to Obama than Obama is to Big Brother.

You can always find some semblance of concepts in 1984 to certain practices of almost any government, I’ve done it here in reference to Obama and his administration.

But Hanson is calling Obama Big Brother. It is evident there is no Big Brother in the book, it is a personification of the totalitarian government in the book. That is the same as calling Obama worst than Stalin. That’s a real stretch.

My take on that is the socialist country tends to end up in a totalitarianistic regime.
