DPRK on Orwell

 In his novel “Animal Farm” (1946), George Orwell used allegorical methods to slander class struggle and revolutionary struggle of the people to oppose exploitation and oppression and achieve social and class liberation. Orwell’s other novel “1984” (1949) directly attacked countries building socialism with malice.


In this novel, Orwell described the country run by a certain “party” as having completely fallen into fascist oppression and moral bankruptcy, disparaging the struggle of the working class and the popular masses to build a new society, and cursing the socialist system as “totalitarian”.
