SBS ran 1984 last night.... can watch it on Demand..... it reminded me of the last 9 years. the Newspeak from Abbott and Morrison, the deceptions, the lies.... so much in common with Orwell's imaginings.
much has been said that Orwell wrote about Soviet communism. yep he used Stalin's Russia as his model. bt the same principles can apply to the right too. it all gets down to the extreme politics. we can see another example in Trump.
