Articles: Reassessing Orwell to Understand Our Times
I'm a firm believer that everyone should read "1984".
Unfortunately, in today's "Facebook/Twitter" world, few may have the attention span and comprehension to understand it's implications...
Some time ago, Scott S. Powell discussed it at AmericanThinker.com:
"Orwell described the scope of the totalitarian enterprise, noting in one section of 1984 that 'Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, and every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.' "
