Very complete, relevant and effective your post, @nancybriti. You do an accurate literary-political comparative work in which you manage to highlight the similarities between fiction and (sad) reality. Orwell was, without a doubt, a writer with a very up-to-date political lucidity, but with a vision of the future. Of course, he had a broad humanistic background, had participated in politics, was a man aware of what was happening in the world, had traveled to places in conflict (Spanish Civil War), and, above all, was an intelligent man and good writer. All that came together in those two great works of his 1984 and Rebelión en la granja. It never ceases to amaze us how he had studied the phenomena of authoritarianism and totalitarianism - we would say to use an easy resource - from right and left: German Nazism, Italian fascism, Soviet regime (Leninist and Stalinist). He extracted the keys that allowed him to unveil (and denounce) in fiction the authoritarian-populist-totalitarian paradigm, which has been fulfilled in almost all the countries where regimes of this type have been imposed. It is the painful, dramatic case of Venezuela, which you well describe and which we who live in this country devastated by "chavomadurismo" suffer so much. Thank you for sharing your text, @nancybriti, and @adsactly for letting us know.
