i don't think the guy who reported anyone he thought was a communist or, "looked jewish," to the english government and wrote his less-read document, "the lion and the unicorn," advocating for english socialism with an imperial general council ruling the world and maintaining military occupation in its colonies is perhaps the greatest source...

yea both george orwell and hannah arendt are kinda not great people and have been historically glorified by bourgeois governments. arendt thought asians were, "oriental despots," and worked for a cia-funded writers workshop and is the reason, "authoritarian," and, "totalitarian," and the concept of horseshoe theory are so popular nowadays
