While Orwell rejected communism as a consequence of his experiences with POUM and the Trotskyites during the Spanish Civil War in 1936-7, as well as his realisation of what Stalin was really about, he explicitly advocated socialism. In a short essay titled Why I Write, published in 1947, he wrote: "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it."

Apparently it takes a socialist to prove that socialism is bad, and a civil rights hero to prove that BLM is a lie
As for the article mentioned in the opening post, its author has no idea what communism is. It is guaranteed that a third of America’s millennials do not approve of the dictatorship of the proletariat and the nationalisation of all means of production.
