In George Orwell’s 1984 novel, the protagonist, Winston Smith, worked at the Ministry of Truth, which was concerned with changing the words of text via editing, to make everything consistent with the ruling regime’s ideology. This is now gong on, with children’s author Roald Dahl, author of such works as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, now being rewritten. And it is not to do with racism and diversity, but any references that might offend anyone, such as reference to fat people.
And the march of the woke regime, repeating the moves of communist regimes such as Stalinist USSR, Mao and Xi’s China, has Shakespeare, JRR Tolkien, Aldous Huxley and George Orwell ready for a rewrite, of if not possible, censorship. Tyranny has arrived while the good people slept, and seemingly, keep sleeping.
