Man, you guys sure are into culturally specific standards of beauty and the vagaries of fashion.



Pardon me for having some goddamn standards.

Certain elements of 1984 are exaggerated for cautionary and shock effect, but OTOH if you read accounts of life in, say, North Korea, 1984 doesn't seem terribly far-fetched after all...

Christopher Hitchens quipped after visiting North Korea that he thought the locals had read it and thought they might try to implement it.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Didn't Winston meet an ex-party member while in prison?

IIRC he meets Parsons in MiniLuv but he doesn't count as a dissenter, as he was denounced by his own children who reported him speaking in his sleep against the Party.

Correct. He remained loyal to the end.
PDH!

What was NK thinking when they let Hitchens in?

Fellow traveler.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

He's clearly too much of a contrarian for any autocratic state to be happy with what he has to say about it.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

The Cubans didn't complain when he showed up in the 1960's.

They thought him being a good trotskyist meant that he might be sympathetic. His far left politics let him in.
