I prefer people be personally responsible most of the time, but I would like for healthcare to be affordable.

I was raised to think socialism was the same as communism, and also a leftist idea. I only recently learned George Orwell was a socialist, and it was confusing to me, because the same people who demonize socialism go around quoting him.

I'll definitely look more into it.

He adopted socialist views after becoming disgusted by colonialism while working for the Colonial Service in Burma, fought for the Republicans against the Nationalists in the Spanish Civil War, then got a look at what Stalinism was actually like and became disgusted all over again, and wrote Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four.
