The interesting thing about that book is that anyone can read it and obviously see the evils of totalitarianism, but then simultaneously view the world through their favored political lens and fall for the exact thing the Orwell tries to warn us against (i.e. the "my team is always right, your team is always the bad guys" mentality).
Maybe, but I think after the fall of the Soviet Union and the post 911 Patriot Act it would be hard not to see the obvious.
