[QUOTE="steelfingers, post: 4216334, member: 38658"] It's about all you're going to get. It's amazing that he wrote this about 1948 at the end of WW2. It had to be inspired by Stalin's control over his people. He had to have his people obey out of fear or brainwashing. Both probably. To be able to send men with no training or equipment at the enemy in hopes of overwhelming them with numbers and dead bodies. In the millions. Absolute control. No question of authority. If he needed an example, that would be a good start. But, no civilians knew the massive deaths were being inflicted on Stalin's own people in 1948. Orwell would have to own a crystal ball. At lease Citizen Kane was based on a real person, William Randolph Hearst. [/QUOTE]
