| Sep 19, 2018 at 15:25 | comment | added | Fattie | Right. "Todays "fake news" are laughable peanuts compared to the propaganda in the GDR." Quite so. Again, the fundamental confusion here seems to be, not realizing that "1984" was, quite simply, ABOUT "the Soviet Union" - that was the whole point. (And, moreover, Huxley astutely realized that "we were just as bad and en route to the same place".) | |
