Thank you for that. I agree with mannykannot, miesman, and Wildgoose. Asimov let his own left-friendly tendencies miss the forest for the trees.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Asimov a republican?

I don't understand what this comment is trying to say.

The commentator mannykannot didn't really comment on the politics other than to agree that 1984 is a criticism of Stalism (which... I don't think anyone would argue with?).

Orwell also wrote "Animal Farm" which is a criticism of Fascism, and Asimov leads with this.
