Shadow Orwella

On 21 January, the 75th anniversary of George Orwell's death, who died of tuberculosis at the age of 46, left us with the beautiful satire of Stalinism (Animal Farm, 1945), to which the Tehran conference was an impulse. Then, thanks to the planet - celebrated fresh ‘1984’, presenting countries of totalitarian systems, which was mostly due to russian designs and their own experiences of the civilian war in Spain. There he avoided a miracle of being shot at by Stalinists. For 2 days, he was sneaking out, along with his wife, police, and conspirators in Barcelona, helping him with his mess and corruption. He later described this in the “Hord for Catalonia” in conflict with the prostlinian English left. The fresh "1984" finished 2 years before his death, in 1948 (hence his title by rearranging the last figures), although Orwell originally considered another: "The Last Man in Europe". Its protagonist is the last rebel of thoughts in times sensed by Orwell in almost a superb way, and after all he did not live in a totalitarian system. On each side of this fresh emanates a grim atmosphere of states under dictatorship, and you can besides see how the thought Police operate and how the words of the common language (new language) are twisted, how people behave to avoid tele-screens and donations, as well as how "nothing could have been lawlessness due to the fact that there were no laws at all" (p.41, according to the edition of the Paris Culture of 1979). How this resembles the ruin of the regulation of law carried out by the Tusk government since December 2023 as if according to the model of the state described in ‘1984’, in which Orwell compared power to the methods of the Nazis and Russian communists (p.264,idem). So he compared Fascism with Communism. There are besides publicists who see even the increasing topicality of Orwell in the 21st century like poet Jan Owczarek (see “Arcana” No. 180 / 2024, p. 181), who writes that 1 of the manifestations of this is to advance the simplification of virtually everything as acceptable views or duties of students and teachers, which leads to a violation of democracy or to pathetic absurdities. And the full text, "About the patriotic upbringing of a fewer remarks a bit sad," deserves to be taken into account, due to the fact that it is simply a dark relation from the "governments" of the recidivist Tusk, who "progress" understands as a process of reducing Polishness with contempt for our apparent law of ties with ancestors (p.185, idem).

In addition to contempt for rights, they were pushed around in “1984” and their own history. For “who controls the past – controls the future, who controls the present – controls the past” (p.64). Orwell’s recommendations present and contemporary dictators, specified as the mentioned Tusk, who in addition serves abroad interests, and thus his obedient “minister” of education massacred in 2024 the past program for schools! This woman cut our communicative with scissors, although we have many excellent historians, but these are not allowed into the ministry!?

And the nation looks helpless... However, the Centre of Life and household released a beautiful calendar of 2025 (forbidden – we are back in circulation?) , so the cards of Polish past were saved, which will not be torn out by us and included Zawisza Black, baric Confederates, unbreakable soldiers, Sienkiewicz, Primate Wyszyński, Żeromski. Ulmów family, St. Maximilian Kolbe, King John Sobieski, St. John Paul II and His Message from the volume “Memory and Identity”, Adam Mickiewicz with “Reduta Ordon” and Captain Pilecki. Thus, the instructions from ‘1984’ and ‘elite’ of the EU were deleted in this form. Unfortunately, the Orwellian scheda is inactive alive and seems to inspire the actions of any planet leaders, which is now suggested by attempts to make peace in the war in Ukraine, due to the fact that in fact no of the powers are able to conquer another and does not want to. And that's the kind of arrangement that Orwell described. It was besides a Cold War deal between the West and the Soviets. present things are complicated due to the fact that the Soviets' place is filled with Euroasia (a Europe absorbed by Russia), and Oceania (meaning England and America) as if they were abruptly bursting after Trump's controversial moves, which could then become the "grave-digger" of the West? How about his savior? The future will show, here already Orwell's work will not explain this mystery, nor artificial intelligence, which is the best proof of man's abdication, and besides a evidence that our intelligence is already upset like an old piano, and that we request to support any kind of intelligence prosthesis. And even at Orwell's, we'll find traces that anticipate AI! Here's the character of the fresh Winston Smith frequently saw Julia's girlfriend (his future love) "swinging a French key, so he figured she had to operate 1 of the slot machines writing novels" (p.44). Indeed, in this totalitarian country, there was the Faculty of Preaching published books written by automatic machines, of course with automatic censorship! This may be our point today, for artists and writers expressed concern at a fresh conference in Paris, dedicated to AI.

erstwhile you look at the planet, these are not the biggest problems of tomorrow. The product of wars is high, and fresh ones are constantly exploding. The war's war engulfed almost all continents but Australia and possibly South America if they omitted the erstwhile war between Argentina and England over the Falkland Islands or the long-standing civilian war in Colombia. On the another hand, the East Asia region (in the fresh "1984" is China, Japan and another countries of that region) is again a possible war area, especially around Taiwan or the peninsula of Korea, possibly the Philippines and later Australia. The chances of peace are diminishing here all year, although we can comfort ourselves with this opinion of Orwell of the “1984”: “None of the 3 gigant states is present taking an operation that would entail a more serious disaster” (p. 202). possibly that's the recipe for a room. The start of the Munich conference is bad and is simply a large enigma. We are anxiously awaiting the finale of the Russian-Ukrainian war and negotiations with the aggressor, due to the fact that that does not bode best, due to the fact that peace concluded with the empire of evil and without war reparations can only origin more misery! The British “The Guardian” repeats the words of Żeleński that Russia is preparing for war with Poland and Lithuania from the territory of Belarus. Is this aggression plan based on U.S. isolation signals? Is president Trump aware of this? And Putin doesn't want peace, and he's just raising his army by 150,000 soldiers, including Korea. So we are fed with illusion, and peaceful dreams die in drone explosions. But Spain wisely warns that an unjust war, born of aggression, cannot end in unjust peace! It would be the seed of another war in the same zone.

In the shadow of Orwell there are as if fresh areas of possible wars and totalitarianism and regions of violated democracy (e.g. in Hong Kong or Burma) and Marks – a demiurge of totalitarianism – laughs in the grave erstwhile he sees tributes to him in Brussels or Trevira by the EU elite and by communist China, from where a monument was sent masquerade to his dubious reputation.
