Big fan of the Socialist side in the Spanish Civil War in the 30's. Then got to see Socialism at work in Europe and the Soviet Union after WW2 and like most rational human beings at the time that romanticized your beloved socialism since the Russian Revolution, moved away from it when the bodies stacked like cordwood could no longer hide the lies and deceptions inherent in that system.
Dream on, Junior. Your brand of Socialism is loaded to the gills with Authoritarianism and Tyranny, including the silencing of viewpoints you can't handle and eliminating ideas you don't like. Orwell hated that shit with a passion and warned about exactly what you preach in 1984.
He didn’t move away from it.
And you don’t know anything about my brand of socialism.
The hell he didn't. And he was never deep in the tank with it anyway, quickly latching onto the idea of "Democratic Socialism." He came to see that any and every system was easily converted to Tyrannical ways due to powerful men ascending to positions of authority they would then naturally abuse and become what they railed against.
You either never read Animal Farm or think it's a book about Zoo Animals.
Either way, you're a fucking ignorant ahistorical moron.

You realize a thing called World War II happened, right? And it was started by National Socialists aka NAZIs, right? So Orwell felt it proper to distinguish his beliefs and feelings from the bad guys who started and lost WW2 by calling his brand "Democratic Socialists."

"Brand of socialism"? There is no "brand". There is just socialism and socialism has failed since its inception. millions of lives lost but here you are trying to do it all again. Only idiots are doomed to repeat history's failures.
Again with this shit. @TurdBomber referred to my brand of socialism, take it up with him.
You missed the point Einstein. It doesn't matter how you twist socialism in your fucked up brain, in the end the slaughters begin. The cancel culture you rats all revel in is just a precursor. You like to take away freedoms and force people to say, act and think how you want them to. What is going on now with socialists is historically typical. Taking over the minds of our youths, telling them everyone but your types are racist. There is nothing new, nothing different. The ends justify the means at all costs. Your side has ruined lives over your politics. Actually killed people and destroyed their livelihoods. Again, typical and historical socialism. Tweak it all you want in your pea brain, its all been tried before and it always comes down to the same violent and elite making ending.
FFS, every socialists thinks they can somehow do it differently. Idiots like Kobe actually think they can force people to give up their individuality and their freedoms and somehow they are all going to be happy.
The liberals and moderates who wanted common sense things like higher minimum wage and better unions have been overtaken by radical assholes, anarchists, and race baiters who are trying to radically alter the cuntry
Precisely what Orwell predicted and witnessed, which pulled him back toward the center-right in his later years. He remained devoted to the idea of socialism in theory, but couldn't ignore what he repeatedly saw in practice, hence the flipping the script quote above which flew right past @TheKobeStopper.
