Valamint ajánlom a következõ írást is: Wade Frazier - Lies I was raised with - Orwell.
Orwell began writing Animal Farm in 1943, when the Soviet Union was the ally of Great Britain and the United States in the war against Nazi Germany. Animal Farm originally had a hostile reception among the British intelligentsia because it made fun of the British ally of the moment, Uncle Joe’s Soviet Union. Orwell had difficulty finding a publisher. Orwell wrote a preface to Animal Farm. In it, he wrote about how the Soviet Union suppressed dissent and silenced unpopular ideas by direct government intervention, but the West produced the same outcome by different means. In the West, dissident writing is censored not by the government, but by the commercial interests, voluntarily. Orwell noted that genuine but dogma-contradicting news is silenced by the British press not through government intervention but a “general tacit agreement” in the press that “’it wouldn’t do’ to mention that particular fact.”
Orwell húzósabb név mint a "remark", ezért akik szavahihetőbbnek tartanak egy ismert embert mint egy ismeretlent (lásd. authoritás elmélet itt a témafelsorolás alatt kisbetűvel), azok olvasgassanak Orwell regényeket és Orwellel kapcsolatos írásokat. Pl. szerezzék meg az Állatfarm cenzúrázatlan, Orwell előszavát tartalmazó változatát.
