Periodic reminder that George Orwell was an anti-communist snitch who wrote a list of people he suspected of being Communists (or Communist sympathisers) & gave it to the UK Government’s anti-Communist propaganda unit, the Information Research Department.

The list included people like John Steinbeck and the incredible Paul Robeson, who Orwell shamefully described as being “very anti-white”. In fact, the list is replete with racist comments made by Orwell about the people he snitched on.

Orwell was also a colonial policeman who in his writing about that period of his life in “Burmese Days” can barely conceal his hatred for the “natives”.
