minus-squarerichieadler 🇦🇷@lemmy.myserv.onelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21 天前Don’t you mean George Orwell? And yes, it’s fictional, but it’s a condemnation of Stalinism.
minus-squaredeadcatbounce@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21 天前George Orwell’s real name was Eric Blair. Blair was a communist, from what I remember, but started to see what socialism was really like and gradually reverted his attitude. Animal Farm is along the same line but an easy read for kids.
