George Orwell (1903-1950) var en engelsk forfatter, socialist og antistalinist, bla. kendt for bøgerne Kammerat Napoleon (Animal Farm), 1984 og Hyldest til Catalonien. George Orwell har i mere end 50 år været omdiskuteret på venstrefløjen, hvad der ikke mindst skyldes både venstrefløjens egen svaghed over for Orwells kritik af den russiske revolutions udvikling og stalinismen i bogen Kammerat Napoleon og højrefløjens flittige brug af Orwell som antitotalitær orakel i den kolde krigs periode.

Indhold

 

Forord

George Orwell (1903-1950) var en engelsk forfatter, socialist og antistalinist, bla. kendt for bøgerne Kammerat Napoleon (Animal Farm), 1984 og Hyldest til Catalonien. Fornylig er der kommet en dansk biografi og introduktion til hans forfatterskab: Toni Liversage: George Orwell: en introduktion (Gyldendal, 2000). Toni Liversage har også en kort artikel, “Mellem engagement og udtørring”, i tidsskriftet Salt (nr.1, marts 2000, s.18-20).

George Orwell har i mere end 50 år været omdiskuteret på venstrefløjen, hvad der ikke mindst skyldes både venstrefløjens egen svaghed over for Orwells kritik af den russiske revolutions udvikling og stalinismen i bogen Kammerat Napoleon og højrefløjens flittige brug af Orwell som antitotalitær orakel i den kolde krigs periode. Og da datidens antikommunister fortsætter i dette årtusinde som heksejagere mod “68-åndens totalitarisme”, er der stadig kamp om den politiske arv, som er udtrykt i Orwells bøger og liv.

Da der for et par år siden blev kendt, at Orwell til en bekendt i det britiske efterretningvæsen havde udleveret en privat liste over “kommunistiske medløbere” blev venstrefløjens defensive holdning til Orwell igen understreget.
På overfladen kan det se ud som et livs udvikling fra revolutionær socialist til kold krigs-kriger.
Denne problemstilling er fraværende hos Toni Liversage, men besvares i to nye udgivelser på engelsk – nævnt nedenfor.

Kampen mod højrefløjens forvrængninger, myter og fortielser om Orwells politiske standpunkter kan ikke løses alene ved at (gen)læse hans bøger i dansk oversættelse.
Derfor har vi lavet et udvalg af hovedsagelig engelsksprogede venstrefløjsanalyser, i form af tidsskriftartikler og Netsteder.

For bøger på dansk af og om Orwell, se Toni Liversages litteraturliste (bemærk, at ved en lapsus er hans antistalinistiske bog om den spanske borgerkrig Hyldest til Catalonien (Gyldendal, 1975) ikke med her; men er selvfølgelig omtalt i hendes bog i øvrigt).
Det er denne bog, der er det litterære forlæg til Ken Loachs film Land & Freedom fra 1995, som vi har lavet en emneliste om: Ken Loachs film Land and Freedom (Socialistisk Bibliotek, 2005, revideret 2015).

Politiken

Michael Seidelin: Orwells liste (25. juni 2003).

On the history of Orwells book from the Spanish Civil War, Homage to Catalonia (1938).

Jane Slaughter: Remembering Spain’s Revolution (No.143, November/December 2009).
“Orwell’s portrait of revolutionary Spain gives us a glimpse of human beings’ revolutionary and egalitarian potential and their capacity for bravery. That is why, 70 years later, Homage to Catalonia is worth reading for the first time and again.”

Counterfire

Homage to Orwell (19 February 2013).
“Sean Ledwith looks at the ongoing debate concerning the legacy of a writer whose relationship with the left was always ambiguous.”

Critique

John Newsinger: Destroying the myth: George Orwell and Soviet communism (No.27, 1995, p.55-80). Only first page online.
“For Orwell, his socialist commitment necesarrily involved hostility to Soviet Communism.”

The Guardian

Stephen Bates: Odd clothes and unorthodox views – why MI5 spied on Orwell for a decade (4 September 2007).
“1984 author suspected of being a communist. Newly released files reveal Special Branch blunders.” See also Politiken above.

International Socialism

James Preece: The secrets of Nineteen Eighty-Four (Issue 163, Summer 2019, p.133-152). “This article attempts to address these critiques from the left by closely examining the context of Nineteen Eighty-Four and Orwell’s late political beliefs, before delving into a radical textual study of the novel itself to make clear the true significance of this important work.”

John Newsinger: Defusing George Orwell (Issue 143, Summer 2014). Review of Robert Colls, George Orwell: English Rebel (Oxford University Press, 2013).
“Now there is, without a doubt, a lot to be said about Orwell and Englishness, but what Colls does is use his exploration of the relationship as a way of domesticating Orwell, of diminishing his radicalism.” See also review by Francis Mulhern: Forever Orwell (New Left Review, Issue 87, Maj-June 2014).

John Newsinger: Orwell and the Spanish Revolution (Issue 62, Spring 1994, p.71-90).
“[Orwell] is the author of one of the most important celebrations of revolution in English literature, Homage to Catalonia. In this account of his experiences with the POUM (United Marxist Workers Party) militia in Spain, he makes clear his commitment to both working class struggle and to socialism, and at the same time his steadfast opposition to Stalinism and its apologists.”

John Molyneux: Animal Farm revisited (Issue 44, Autumn 1989, p.99-112).
“Two serious historical misrepresentations: 1: that Animal Farm and Orwell’s work as a whole can be rescued from the right wing and in some sense claimed for the socialist tradition is quite a popular one; 2: the years immediately following the revolution and in particular the civil war of 1918 to 1921.”

Peter Sedgwick: George Orwell: International Socialist?:, 1: The Development of Orwell’s Socialism (Issue 37, June-July 1969, p.28-34).
“A basic account of the development of George Orwell’s political beliefs, from the beginning of his literary vocation down to his death in January 1950.”
2. del udkom aldrig. / Second part apparently never published.

International Socialist Review

Lee Wengraf: The Orwell we never knew (Issue 32, November–December 2003).
“Orwell’s writing has come to epitomize lessons taught in schools everywhere: Resistance is impossible, and Orwell’s Big Brother–the Soviet Union – is the unavoidable result of fighting for a better society ”¦ But George Orwell had a different vision than these conservatives, and for that, his life and works have something to offer the left today. Orwell became a self-described socialist as a result of lessons learned early in life”.

Jacobin: Reason in Revolt

Gustav Jönsson: George Orwell was a temperamental conservative and ideological radical (22 October 2023).
Review of D.J. Taylor, Orwell: The New Life (Pegasus, 2023, 608 p.). “George Orwell managed to combine a conservative temperament with a socialist rejection of oppression. A lively new biography of the English radical explains how he held these contradictions together.”

Luke Savage: How the Right gets George Orwell wrong (9 March 2023).
“Free-market zealots like Friedrich Hayek and others on the Right love claiming George Orwell as their own. That requires ignoring Orwell’s entire body of work defending democratic socialism — and denouncing the right-wing worldview of figures like Hayek.”

Jess Cotton: Rebecca Solnit’s call for roses rings hollow (22 April 2022). Review of Rebacca Solnit, Orwell’s Roses (Granta, 2021, 310 p.).
“Socialists use the slogan ‘bread and roses’ to emphasize the equal importance of pleasure and material security. In Orwell’s Roses, Rebecca Solnit attempts to renew this rallying cry, but the result is a hymn to liberalism and a hollow vision of politics.”

Benjamin Schacht: Keeping George Orwell on the Left (7 February 2021).
“The term ‘Orwellian’ has long been a vacuous cliché, and now even allies of Trump are making use of it to deride their opponents. But George Orwell, a self-described democratic socialist, always belonged on the Left.”

Samuel Farber: George Orwell and the Proles (21 August 2018).
“Though his pessimism about the working class ebbed and flowed throughout his life, George Orwell ultimately saw workers as the only force that could build an egalitarian, socialist society.”

David N. Smith: The political George Orwell (25 June 2018).
“George Orwell was born 115 years ago today. He is often remembered as a paragon of lucidity and truth-telling. But he was also deeply serious about socialist politics.”

Jared Spears: Spain through Orwell’s eyes (1 May 2017).
“Eighty years ago, Barcelona’s calamitous May Days sealed the fate of a worker-led social revolution. George Orwell was there to bear witness.”

Scott Poole: Reclaiming comrade Orwell (29 October, 2013).
“George Orwell has become a mirror into which any political position can look into and see itself staring back. But make no mistake – Orwell belongs to the Left.”

Alex Miller: Orwell’s Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four: Critiques of Stalinism ‘from the left’? (April 2008).
“This essay is the result of a re-reading of George Orwell’s two most famous novels. Both Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four have acquired the status of textbooks, and are routinely used in schools to demonstrate to children the inherent dangers of social revolution. It is time for a reappraisal.”

Ian Williams: Orwell and the British left (Vol.9, No.1, 2010; online at Internet Archive).
“This chapter briefly traces Orwell’s political development in the context of the British socialist politics of his era and shows how at an early stage he defined himself specifically as a ‘democratic socialist’, thus intending to distance himself, and indeed socialism itself, from the various totalitarian tendencies that claimed, spuriously in his view, to be socialist.”

Ian Williams: Afterlife of an Atheist (Vol.6, Issue 1-2, Winter/Spring 2007; online at Internet Archive). Review of John Rodden, Scenes from an Afterlife (Intercollegiate Studies Institute, 2003, 350 p.).
“Rodden’s examples show how the advertising industry, whose copywriters surely represent one of the most shamelessly Ingsoc professions, lying for money, can devalue some of the key concepts of Orwell’s work.”

Timothy Garton Ash: Orwell’s List (Vol.50, No.14, September 25, 2003).
“So there it was at last, the copy of George Orwell’s notorious list of ‘crypto-communists’ that went into the files of a semisecret department of the Foreign Office on May 4, 1949. It lay before me in a buff folder on the office table of a senior Foreign Office archivist. Despite all the controversy around it, no unofficial person had been allowed to see the list for more than fifty-four years … So there is the text. What is the context?”

Socialist Resistance

Dave Kellaway: Orwell, anti-colonialist, anti-fascist … blue Labour? (28 January 2020).
“Orwell’s greatest contribution is his brilliant dissection of both fascist and Stalinist totalitarian regimes through Animal Farm and 1984 along with Homage to Catalonia on his experiences in the Spanish Civil War. He was one of the very few writers who was ready to openly criticise the Stalinist regime in Moscow in the 1930s or 40s apart from very small Trotskyist groups.”

Socialist Review

John Newsinger: Nineteen Eighty-Four and all that (Issue 454, February 2020)
“Seventy years after his death, George Orwell has been canonised by the literary establishment as a liberal critic of totalitarianism. John Newsinger argues that his life and his work show him to be a harsh a critic of capitalism, and a staunch supporter of the struggles of the ‘common people’.”

Orwell and the struggle for socialism (Issue 434, April 2018).
“John Newsinger, author of a new book on George Orwell’s politics [Hope Lies in the Proles: George Orwell and the Left, Pluto Press, 2018], looks at how his stance as an independent socialist led him to great radicalism and terrible betrayal.”

“When he was alive, Orwell, who died in 1950, was regarded by the dominant forces ‘on the left’ of the 1930s and 40s as a ‘right-winger’, a crank, an ‘anti-Soviet renegade’, an agent or a ‘dupe’ of fascism, and an all-round enemy.”

Chris Hickey: Documenting the Spanish Civil War (3/33, 26 June 2003).
“Born 100 years ago and dying in 1950, it is difficult to think of an English writer in the last 100 years who has aroused stronger feelings and been the subject of more political dispute than George Orwell. Yet the fame and controversy that surround Orwell’s name essentially derive from just two books, Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, produced in the last 6 or 7 years of his life.”

Chris Hickey: George Orwell: Imagining the totalitarians (3/34, 10 July 2003).
“Written on the cusp of the Cold War Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four launched Orwell’s international reputation and made him the most politically fought over English writer of the 20th century.”
