Was George talking about the lies the left made about Russia that were proven to be lies?

I agree, those people need to be in prison
No. Unless he was referring to Stalin (who also enjoyed throwing the opposition in prison). Orwell died in 1950.

But he was a socialist Democrat who despised both authoritarian communism and fascism so he might be writing similar statements today based on Putin, Musk, and Trump.

Let's not forget Biden (or whoever was pulling the strings behind the scenes). Putting out that letter by those 50 national security folks that the Hunter laptop was a Russian fabricated story (when they knew it wasn't) and then coercing news and social media companies to not report on the story and squash it from algorithms was just as Orwellian, or more, than anything we're doing now. Not excusing the stuff we're doing now, because it's awful, but let's not pretend government overreach just began this past January either.

Don't be obtuse. It isn't just about what they found in the laptop. The realty that our elected officials and national security personnel knowingly worked to suppress the story is just as if not more important.

I agree that’s wrong. I’m just learning not to expect anything different from our political class.

Even if something is erroneous, once the rumors get out, the worst might as well have happened.

Even if Hemingway was an actual commie (disputable based on his writings and he was an opponent of communist Russia) his experiences still make him qualified to express the quote above that you seem to take issue with.

You do know there are no good totalitarians? Right or left. Stalin or Trump….

If you agree, you should have zero issue with his quote.
