Book Reviews of Nineteen Eighty-Four

Book Review: #8 Where all socialism will lead!
Summary: 4 Stars

Even though George Orwell was a socialist he chronicled totalitarian socialism in this book and he like most socialists did not realize that is exactly where all socialism ends up and is where we are all headed.

He coined things like big brother is watching you, newspeak, thoughtcrime and doublethink...and thoroughly goes over what a socialist society does to language to limit thought, and the ability to discuss any idea in order to stop treats to its self or even simple changes much less a full revolution.

Have you noticed all the cameras the government (Big brother) is putting up all over the last 10 to 15 years?
