… username checks out I guess? 1984 was also my first painful read. A true Mindfuck. It’s a good story though, but I felt like I needed a blanket and kitty therapy for like a month after finishing reading it. Maybe I was too young
the main character has a couple speeches but I remember one in particular is so on spot for what capitalism is, that it was like OMFG THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW!!! FUCK!!!
When I realized there are a lot of dumb people out there, 1984 by George Orwell.

Have you read Jack London’s The Iron Heel?
It is really the prequel to 1984, even Orwell said as much. 1984 stays with you but The Iron Heel will haunt you.
Never read it but I will thx for the info 👍👍

Like 1984, it does not have a happy ending.
1984, the go to citation by people misusing the word “fascism”.
