:::Orwell's a complex one. He was definitely a socialist, but paradoxically I think he was a deeply conservative socialist and his books are full of conservative values, such as the need for individual liberty. His portrayal of the corruption of family life under Big Brother's socialist regime - the denunciation of Parsons by his children, for example - is a strong attack on anti-family values. --[[User:SamCoulter|SamCoulter]] 23:07, 21 September 2011 (EDT)
