"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

Calls George Orwell a good writer.

I take it Orwell isn't popular around these parts?

Even his politics could have been forgivable if he wasn't a mediocre, overrated writer.
