1984

Dan Lynch writes "Here is a link to a great commentary site on 1984. It's one of the better ones I have seen. It not only shows how Orwell criticizes communism and socialism, it shows how other giant statist organizations are destructive to society. Like the all powerful churches, monarchy's or just bureaucracy in general, that way we won't have to make this about left/right wing politics. It can be about how the state can get out of control when it seeks control. (But if you want to point out why you think its more rightest or leftist I don't want to stop you, but I am hoping that *we* as 'men's activists' can look at it objectively in concern to our common ground here). Its amazing how we can line up the similarities from Orwell's story to our modern day. One being how "TACK BACK THE NIGHT" events are almost identical to the "HATE WEEK" rallies in the book, which use total lies and biaism to maintain that 2 + 2 = 5 (Which is why I think 'Feminism' is 'Totaltarian' and not a true 'Liberal' ideal). They have released the DVD back in April and I am hoping to make it popular again as it becomes classic next year. I think that Orwell's work could be a great basis for language for us all (and to many it already is I realize) to understand the concepts. One being "Some Animals are more Equal than others" from 'Animal Farm' or the 'Doublethink' or 'Newspeak' from 1984 etc..."
