It's Animal Farm Re-Visited

 It's time to read George Orwell again. Some 1984. Some Animal Farm. We're seeing his novels unfold in real time. Many don't recognize it because it looks different. Totalitarianism has happened before, in different ways, and under different circumstances. This confuses people. They expect history to conform to the past literally. It never does so because the plot, setting, and characters in the play are new. Times change.

From The American Spectator this piece just might be one of the best you'll read since before the election.
