In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

Homage to Catalonia is refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards. Orwell’s focus is individual experience and critique, not identity-obsessed messaging or forced representation. It might actually make you nostalgic for when political memoirs weren’t a non-stop lecture.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Orwell’s memoir stays rooted in personal experience and honest reporting rather than shoehorning modern ideologies or prioritizing identity over substance. The focus is on war, politics, and personal disillusionment rather than virtue signaling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While Orwell is critical of certain institutions (like the Church and traditional authority), his focus is on political infighting, not on undermining family, masculinity, or basic cultural norms. There's no modern-style subversion or identity politics agenda.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Orwell critiques both the fascists and his own side, exposing hypocrisy and complexity. While leftist, it’s not a modern echo chamber, internal conflict and debate are front and center, giving some room for alternative views.
