Orwell was a Trotskyist so if he were still alive he would be a neo-con. yeah, not very cool now is he?
interesting that Christopher Hitchens had more or less the same trajectory

@augustus applying Orwell's method to today =/= Neo-con
One of his issues was with the abuse of language, particularly in political contexts; he would have been anti-woke but beyond that it's hard to say.
doubt he would have been pro-Trump either.
not sure where your equivalence of Trotskyism and Neo-con comes from but can't say I know much about either
@skells Neo-cons are all ex-Trotskyists who fled to America
@augustus oh you mean if Orwell was still alive today?
@augustus he would have been 96 in 2000 so not sure if that theory holds water
