Orwell, Orwell, I love Orwell. What man is able to make a joke out of such a horrid thing? But that's what war is, it's man's big joke to man. Such a joke.You can't read his account and ever think war is noble or necessary. And yet, he never withdraws. He never decides to go back to England and live the good life (and wait for WWII to arrive). Which just goes to prove war is noble and is needed. How can you change the world without killing a fascist?
I didn't get the politics, at all! But I loved the war story accounts. Genius mind, Orwell truly had a genius mind. The world will never be a good place, until guys like him decide to actually become politicians. But that will never work. So human beings will continue to misbehave and the world will continue to fall apart. Even Orwell himself knew that was the case. He stood by his political views, even when he proved them impossible.
