If George “I thought Hitler was quite likable actually” Orwell ever set foot in the USSR he would have been reeducated and schoolchildren all over the west would have been spared his absolute horseshit novels.
Didn’t that kind of happen with Heinlein?
Strangely enough I’ve never heard that name before, or at least I don’t remember right now. Which is weird given his notariety within sci-fi.
Of course not, you can guess by reading his books which are “communism is when capitalism” basically.
He did not
Who would you rather believe in their opinion? Paul Robeson; a based man of Africa who actually went there?
Or some British liberal cracker?
