taking a look now good sir!
Well here i am just stroling through my thread and sure enough Childe, Vik and Rouge are having their good old Off topic discussion on language. They could at least include the fact that my Volran's speak english, but more or less it was a interesting discussion on politics; and as such i am going to add my own statement. Merkia F'Ork Ya!

I never read it at school, I decided to finally read it a few years back, the last third gets very heavy, so be prepared to re read it a few times...

The books about Communism actually Vik it was a running theme the George Orwell wrote about (Animal Farm being another such book). It stems from his time out in Spain during the spanish civil war (something else he wrote about)
You do realise the story is about the fact that the three worlds super powers are at war with each other as a way of keeping everyone equal, which in turn makes everyone not want anything as their spirits are broke.

Actually the three superpowers realised there needs to be an equal war against each other, which would provide a united front for the people. It's a bold idea tbh, and one I can see happening unfortunately.
If you have one dominant power in the world, if the people one day decide to wake up and revolt it leaves you vulnerable to attack (see the imperium of man), BUT, if you have three super powers in equal parts opposition and ally, you have something that weighs on you as a worry and keeps you in line doing the best for the country at hand.

I consider myself intelligent Vik, but by no means do I know everything lols... which is why I try and indulge in new things every now and again.

well the three contenental superpowers are actually there if you look properly... the middle east bands together as does the western portion of the world... and tbh, I doubt it would take too much to unite asia major as a whole either... it's scary how prophetic that book is. I emplore you to read it asap Vik, same goes for you as well Panda!
