A Tux has been on my wishlist all year. updated

Xi, showing off his superior reading ability. Dumpster waiting impatiently for Xi to tell him what the scary paper says.

He very obviously criticized the implementations he was witnessing, but still held to the ideals. It’s easy to imagine "No, no, not like that! "

I love it when faschies quote Orwell. Like, you obviously didn’t read his works or you would know he was a socialist.

Edit: I’m not in any way about to get into deep discussions. I’m on mobile and have ADHD, so just deal with my overly reductionist statements.

Edit 2: Orwell called himself a socialist, argue with him. Later, he became active in democratic socialism, and I’m not arguing whether that’s the same or different. That’s a whole other discussion. He was very critical of communism (very much not the same thing as socialism, at least in practice during the first half of the 20th century, and in the US and other western countries, socialists amd communists came to blows with each other), and Stalinism specifically. He was equally hypercritical of tory-flavored monarchism, and amy other type of authoritarian government.
