      “Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it. It seems to me nonsense, in a period like our own, to think that one can avoid writing of such subjects. Everyone writes of them in one guise or another. It is simply a question of which side one takes and what approach one follows. And the more one is conscious of one's political bias, the more chance one has of acting politically without sacrificing one's aesthetic and intellectual integrity.” -George Orwell

      Many forget what Orwell actually wrote about which is fascism.
      His book 1984 was actually an exaggerated take on fascism and the power of propaganda. It is a world where the power of propaganda has become stronger than common sense. What he believed the Nazi state would have been like if it had won the war in 1944 and had spread it's ideology worldwide over the course of 40 years. That Nazi style propaganda and suppression of trust succeeds and that truth becomes what is useful to the party than a mutually agreed thing backed by consensus and evidence.
      In a way 1984 is a horror book. It's about the frightening power of propaganda if we allow it to supplant the truth and what could happen if we don't defend the truth and start seeing it as malleable and open to interpretation.

    Only issue I have attempting to organize (I work at a hospital), is that it’s hard to get people to stay long enough at the job to help them get better wages and benefits. The people mostly quit after a week or two because the job is menial and the pay is low, $14 an hour. But, a majority of my colleagues are pro-union.

    I watched the full speech, and after processing it for the day (I'm slow, and won't apologize for it), I believe you reached a lot of people that probably were already programmed to dislike you. I saw a saw some dour faces sprinkled in the otherwise receptive crowd. They heard you. I believe that you recognized them like they don't get recognized normally, and made the connection with them when you talked about your grassroots, collective experience. Definitely, they heard you.
