      I'm actually gonna go so far as to seriously say that whatever he did in the war, it does have to be balanced against giving the Cold War paranoiacs a massive blunt instrument they've wielded against the Left in general for 70 years Intentionally or not, that's how it was used

      I mean he wasn't wrong about Stalinist Russia, but I could pay off my student loans with a nickel for every conservative who's yelled "hAvE yOu ReAd OrWeLl" at me after Sean Hannity told them Animal Farm was a metaphor for Obamacare.

      It's honestly kind of messed up, however you feel about Animal Farm as history, that when he wrote it he was telling this snarky parable about current events that his audience was generally familiar with and could pick up on

      But now it's the reverse High school kids are learning about the history of the Russian Revolution *from Animal Farm* Their *initial exposure* to the conflict between Stalin and Trotsky is through the cutesy metaphor about Napoleon and Snowball Doesn't that bother anyone?

      — and like, I’m a Soviet Jew, much of my family remained commies, and like! Orwell’s tidy little Aesop elides a fuckton of nuances, especially the complex ethnocultural + racial power dynamics in the USSR in general and among the Bolsheviks in particular

      The worst thing about Animal Farm if you treat it as actual history and not just anti-Stalinist polemic is how much it relies on making all the other animals "dumb animals" Shitting on poor benighted Russians for being misled by con men because they don't know better like us

      Boxer's story is the best thing in this book And it applies equally to the lies told to the working class under American market capitalism or Soviet state capitalism/"communism" And it's reprehensible this gets taught as something that only happened in Russia

      I think part of why it made me so sad is I recognized that. My Dad was regularly injured by the physical demands of his job and it was always a ticking time bomb if he would recover before being fired.

      The quote in A Raisin in the Sun where Mama tries to find words for how much life her husband's job stole from him, that he barely even moved or spoke when he got home "Every night... he looked at the rug... and he looked at me..."

          "I watched him grow old and thin before he was forty, worked to death like an old horse, killing himself - that money was all that was left of him, and YOU GIVE IT AWAY IN A DAY" And she starts beating the shit out of her own son for squandering the insurance payout

          Anyway yeah It fucking sucks your dad went through that "Workerism" wherever it comes up is a garbage ideologyhttps://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1259965290848219136?s=19 …

          Orwell brutally mocked "workerism" in Animal Farm and how it's a fucking fundamental contradiction with what socialism was supposed to be for In the Stalinist Animal Farm Boxer the plowhorse works HARDER than he ever worked for the humans, until he DIES ("I will work harder!")

          This is it in a nutshell. I'd say my Dad was only really present for about 4 days a month. The rest was a fugue state of recovery from work.
