*Orwell became a self-described [[socialist]] as a result of lessons learned early in life. His service as a colonial policeman in Burma turned him into a fierce anti-imperialist with a commitment to exposing oppression and championing the rights of the working class. But Orwell was also a controversial and contradictory writer who took diverse–sometimes courageous–positions over the course of his life that have left his work open to interpretation. He moved from firm anti-[[imperialist]] and working class politics to become a supporter of the British Labor Party and a critic of the left by the end of his life, including an almost obsessive focus on [[Stalinism]].

Sorry, I missed the comment about Animal Farm. Same thing goes, distorted communism, or Stalinism, perhaps, but not communism. --[[User:AngryCommunist|<font color="#ff0000">Angry</font><font color="#000000">Communist</font>]] 22:24, 4 January 2008 (EST)
