Not reporting is bourgeois


 

Have you guys read George Orwell's 'The Road to Wigan Pier'?

It's amazing how much HASN'T changed since it was written. I the first chapter he describes loner men in their twenties who are essentially the incels of their time. They talk about "dodging marriage" although it's evident that they were nowhere near the vicinity of having any female interest. And instead of the internet they were at the library reading newspapers and coming up with silly theories based on both information and disinformation, which they talk endlessly about, much to the chagrin of the author. The astrology sections being especially interesting to them.

He lives amongst the proles as an educated man in disguise. He overcomes his racism and class-based feelings of superiority by first occupying Burma and siding with those he oppressed and then slumming it with the coal miners of North England upon his completion of military service.

It's one of the most fascinating books I've ever read. Really inspires communism and socialism, but it's also very cynical and grounded in reality. He mentions that most of the upper and middle class lefties don't really want the change they advocate for when you get right down to it. And while the lower/working classes would certainly like more money, they had little but suspicion and distaste towards the interests and pursuits of the upper classes. They viewed them as "elitist" and pompous, no matter how the people actually were.
So little has changed in this regard.

I know not everyone is into reading books, so I found a good audiobook version with a good narrator:

Everyone knows 'Nineteen Eighty-Four', but he did so much more before he got to writing that. You guys will love Wigan Pier. He uses the word "bourgeois" a TON. I immediately thought of this website and you guys. You're probably all familiar with it already.

>Leftypol be saying booooourg-ois. Damn you can't stop leftypol from saying bourgeois.
<That's true leftypol does like to say bourgeois

I actually still like George Orwell even if he was chucklef*ck reporting socialists to the British authorities and being a conservaboomer meme.

He is whatever he is needed to be for the argument, if its against rightoids its "HE WAS ONE OF US, HE WUZ POUM AND SHIT" if its against succdems "HE WAS A CIA/MI6/MOSSAD TRAITOR"
in reality, you're all liberals. All of you, just like him. YOU'RE ALL LIBERALS.

No one is discussing The Road to Wigan Pier though. That's what the thread is about.
It's a great book. It's entertaining and a great sales pitch for socialism. It's a book you can use to help to change some minds.

Did you read it or not? Just listen to the first half hour of the audiobook and you'll be hooked. I promise.
Very fascinating depiction of the world very long ago and yet so very much like our own times.

>Communist accusing everything in his field of vision to be liberal
Must be a day that ends in y!

>>2419799
This is leftypol. Liberals are a good thing here. That's not an insult.

Probably Orwell's best work since it predates him going to Spain and spending the rest of his life throwing a hissy fit about Marxism-Leninism. Definitely some interesting commentary on the condition of the English working class during the 30s and the state of the socialist movement at the time. It really does show that some things never change.

Thanks for demonstrating why the name "leftypol" is fucking retarded since the left-wing umbrella is just the opposite side of bourgeois politics and communism stands outside that realm.
