==Leftist POV==
Cut from intro:
:Leftists feel its satire applies more generally to any state where the government has too much control over its citizens; see [[totalitarianism]].
The last time I picked up a copy in a bookstore, there was a lengthy comment by [[Walter Cronkite]], not one of the most astute of journalists when it comes to [[Communism]]. He blathered on for several pages accusing the West of being rather like the nightmare vision described in the novel. No mention that I can recall of organizations or practices or slogans within the Stalinist USSR.
We need to write a lot more about the pro-Communist whitewash. The lefties cannot suppress the book, but they seem to have been able to explain it away. How about an article on the [[Potemkin Village]]? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 09:29, 6 January 2009 (EST)
