Remember the giant polemical text inserted into the middle? That the narrator reads to his lady friend? Usually people get bored and gloss over it. That’s the most transparent commentary present in the novel, and the heart of what Orwell wanted to communicate politically.

I don't remember the passage exactly, but it's something like "if you want to see the future of humanity, picture a boot stomping on someone's face, forever." Sam Hyde referenced it in one of his videos I think.

It explains quite well how propaganda works, and there's a section in the book that is just the main character reading an essay. That section is a good summary for the whole book.

socialism works when paired with nationalism. When paired with anything else it just causes mass death.
