This is a world historic event folks. You should be on it. By the way the name xiaohongshu is a reference to Mao. Decades and weeks and all that.

It’s always surprising that western Leftists can see Orwell as “theirs,” when Animal Farm’s central message is that Russian Workers are stupid, illiterate, and destined to be taken advantage of, no matter how hard they try to learn.
I have no idea if the people on that post were leftists themselves but yeah I get what you’re saying. I feel like people have a weird superiority when they admit to reading and liking Orwell, because that automatically makes them an intellectual. I feel like they’d change their tune if they knew the actual history surrounding the Soviet Union and Orwell himself as he sucked. The other books she showed weren’t that bad: Handmaids Tale, Fahrenheit 451, the Giver, and some others I cannot remember.
Seems like they are all the standard sci-fi books taught in USian high school, though, based on what you said.
Yes, it was the comment section that placed a lot of emphasis on both Animal Farm and 1984 which made me cringe lol.
Ugh, of course lol
I too thought fondly of Farenheit 451, until a few months ago when someone on Hexbear revealed Ray Bradbury was a megachud.
