Off topic, but since St. George of Orwell has been brought up…

George Orwell was an orthodox communist. Not a “socialist” as I have read someplaces, he was actually a Communist party member in England and only because he was writing for a socialist paper did he end up with POUM. He did not object in any way, in fact he was all for, communists killing non-communists. What he objected to, and only pretty weakly at that, was communists killing other communists.

How Orwell somehow became a conservative hero shows how twisted and how rigidly enforced the Communist/Popular Front ideology is even to this day.
