leave it a mystery if you are a left winger or a right winger or even a trot yourself.
Orwell was objectively trash read this where Issac Asimov destroys him

The only good part about 1984 is Goldstein explaining how every war machine made is food out of the mouths of the poor. If people should get anything out of that book, it is becoming rabidly anti-war/military
As much as I hate 1984, I still believe the appendix is the only good part of the book. I guess “language is kind of an effective control tool” is a basic take, but when I read it in high school I was fascinated by how good those few pages were at building the 1984 world.
In my defense, I had never read something like that before (“oh, this is fiction pretending to be non-fiction… is that legal??!1!”) because I was 15 (also I was so creeped out by Winston, the story is better without him)
