Every arm of politics, at some stage, wants to claim Orwell's masterpiece as their own. And many pejorative political terms were coined here. But, if you read it, you'll realise that the novel can't be safely pushed in any one particular political direction. It remains an elusive 20th century parable of totalitarian power and humanity in degeneration; a culture, collapsed. It improves every read. - Jeremy (QBD)
