THE Socialist On An Armed Citizenry



George Orwell (Eric Arthur Blair) may be termed as "THE Classic Socialist". He (By his authorship of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four) provided us with such neologisms (And concepts!) as: "Thought Police"; "Hate Week"; "Newspeak"; And, "Thoughtcrime".

At least one of his statements was in support of the People's right to keep, if not bear, arms. That rifle on the wall of the labourer's cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there.”  George Orwell

Today's "Socialists" (eg The Labour Party in the UK; The "Democratic-Socialist Party in the USA) are very, very, much opposed to that concept and right. As that opposition is closer to that inflicted and maintained by such "Socialists" as Hitler (And Stalin), I suggest that they add or substitute the term "Fascist" to/in their parties' names.
