Reading '1984' Makes You An Extremist?

[Karl12]

I would postulate that their aversion to George Orwell is not only limited or due to “1984”, but also definitely due to “Animal Farm” as well.

There is no doubt in my mind that these imbeciles are seeing themselves in his writings and thus are very likely trying to eradicate the population’s capability to identify them as such.

Appreciate the astute postulation mate (and the two pesos) - would say their actions are also being reflected in Huxley's work and it's no bloody wonder they want to shut him down as well.

Here he is warning about 'malevolent' enslavement and Pavlovian indoctrination techniques (sounds a bit familiar to modern day education and mainstream media conditioning).

As for going after the other well loved (and world famous) British authors thought Orwell made an interesting observation here.
