Animal Pound #2 - "A Rabbit Can Only Run"

[laughing_tree]

Orwell, who was very much a figure of the left but had been disillusioned by his experience in Spain, was trying to say that there is a threat, that Communism can lead to totalitarianism like it did in the Soviet Union, and rightfully sort of sounded the alarm bells. And thanks to some of my former colleagues in the CIA who propagated that book, it became a huge seller and became sort of the symbol of, like, this is what could happen if Communism gets carried away. And I just feel that there is a threat of totalitarianism today, but it does not seem to be coming from a Communistic point of view. -- Tom King
