That and The Road to Wigan Pier-no particular order.
We seem to building a consensus on here-most want the welfare state to be the safety net, not the crutch.
Certainly can't argue with the second part. What pisses me off is how many of your wastrels end up in Scotland.
Let's not forget that Orwell was a committed socialist who fought in Spain for the Marxists. AF is as much about capitalism as it is about communism. Propaganda, the illusion of choice, brainwashing over potential enemies. Orwell said himself that while he did not approve of the Soviet Union he did not know what Stalin could have done differently at that time. AF was translated into over 80 languages after Orwell's death by the CIA who also bought the film rights; it was pushed as anti-Soviet propaganda. Ironic that Orwell stood so strongly against propaganda and yet became a victim of it himself.
The Road to Wigan Pier? The whole second half is about the misconception in Britain of socialism?!!
