Orwell knew that words are important. He wanted to win back to their original meaning the words that communism had turned into their opposites. I have given a lot of thought over the last few days to the question of why the generally intelligent and well made television version of Animal Farm was not very interesting, and I have come to the conclusion that the problem is that it is general where Orwell is specific. The tv version is a satire on corruption in general. Orwell was attacking a particular example of corruption that actually existed in the real world.
All governments are evil.
But some governments are more evil than others. To miss that point is to misunderstand Orwell's warning. He is also the editor of Comics Revue Monthly , which publishes such classic comic strips as Flash Gordon, Sky Masters, Modesty Blaise, Tarzan, Odd Bodkins, Casey Ruggles, The Phantom, Gasoline Alley, Krazy Kat, Alley Oop, Little Orphan Annie, Barnaby, Buz Sawyer, and Steve Canyon.
