Anarchism and Social Ecology

Politics and the English Language - George Orwell ( www.orwellfoundation.com )

In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defence of the indefensible. Things like the continuance of British rule in India, the Russian purges and deportations, the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan, can indeed be defended, but only by arguments which are too brutal for most people to face, and which do not...
