George Orwell is the famous pen name of Eric Arthur Blair. He was a noted novelist and essayist. Orwell's most famous book was "Nineteen Eighty-Four" which was published in 1949 one year prior to Orwell's death. That is a must read book in your life time. It is all about State control and where the term "Big Brother is Watching" came from.

Orwell was a Leftist that recognized an evil in the fascism of Nazi Germany. His essay is in regard to pacifism, a word that could be interchangeable with today’s "Politically Correct" or "Appeasement."

I posted this aged Orwellian essay for one reason: the times are beginning to look tragically similar to Orwell's day. Islamofascism is represented by Sunni and Shi'ite terrorists in an ideology that is horribly dangerous to culture as we know it today. It is time for Leftists to recognize this and put away petty ideological differences and go whole heartedly to defeat and disable terrorism and rogue States that perpetuate terrorism.
