Pay close attention to the very end. Think about it.
Orwell was an orthodox communist who was in favor of communist oppression of all non-socialists. He was only opposed to the oppression of socialists or other communists by communists. So how did Orwell come to be thought of as a conservative? He wasn't even a democratic socialist if you consider he didn't regard capitalists, property owners or clergymen to have any rights, including the right not to be killed.
The Soviet leadership demanded that all socialists join with them and submit to their discipline as part of the war on fascism. Essentially all, including all American liberals, agreed to and submitte to this demand. Orwell always opposed Stalinism from the left- he regarded it as state capitalism. This didn't matter- he had committed the unpardonable sin of not cooperating with the Soviets and thus had to be labeled a secret fascist, which is the Stalinist way of dealing with any dissent. The whole Western left became Stalinist through this process, and we live in a Stalinist society today, just a milder and more effective version of it.
I think someone’s been stealing from me. I posted something just like this months ago. That speech of his – pretty eerie huh?
Have you seen the 1980′s movie 1984? It’s stellar and is up on youtube. I believe that the US actually lost WW2 and it lost the Cold War as well.
Here’s my analysis of the relationship between the Western left and the communist world-

The end of the Cold War meant that Russia could scrap its Soviet ideology.
The US, on the other hand, was stuck with its own brand of leftist poison.
That’s a dramatised biography of George Orwell, not the an interview of the real man. The man playing George Orwell is Chris Langham, and the woman playing the interviewer is jewess Rebecca Front. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0396031/)
Hence the danger of taking clips from that biopic!
A voice-over does state, at the very beginning, that there are no known moving pictures of GO nor known audio recordings of his speaking. However, the script is made solely from GO’s published words – thus making it easy to check their veracity.
I knew she was a Jewess!
Yep. She plays Inspector Lewis’ boss in the new series carryover from Morse. Drives me crackers…
Yeah there’s plenty of Heebs at the Beebs, more than you could shake a menorah at. In the newsrooms (eg Emily Maitlis and Kate Silverton), in light entertainment (eg Stephen Fry and Victoria Coren), in specials (eg Old Jews Telling Jokes), in dramas (like Rebecca Front), in films (there’s always some film which has been shot in Heeb homeland, New York) etc etc.
