“Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating?... A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress toward more pain.” Orwell, 1984

George Orwell was one of the greatest authors in history. One of the few Leftists I think highly of.

Yet no one learned to avert the future he foretold. Don't the public deserve this- even though a warning was given? where was the collective responsibility?
