Update: A few people don’t seem to get the shirt. This surprised me. First- the country was bamboozled with the Trump campaign’s “Make America Great Again”- which has turned this country into a farce of what it was meant to be.

George Orwell wrote two books I read while in high school; “Animal Farm” and “Nineteen Eighty-Four”. The first, published in 1945 was a jab at the evolution of communism in Russia from Marxist ideals to something more resembling an oligarchy. Orwell turns it into a fairy tale where the animals take over the farm, slaying the evil human overlords to make a socialist society. Over time, the pigs (not a very well veiled allegory) put themselves in charge and start emulating humans. The famous line- “All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others” comes into play in the story. Of course- it’s fiction- but based on facts.

When we have 1% of the population controlling so much of the wealth and capital- Orwell’s fiction has become reality.

In “Nineteen Eighty Four” published in 1949, just before his death, Orwell predicted that by 1984 we’d be engaged in perpetual war, have omnipresent government surveillance and the government would be actively involved in public manipulation. The leader, “Big Brother” may be real or may not be- but thrives on a cult of personality.

When it came out- it was a warning, and while frightening and depressing, when I read it, a mere 6 or 7 years before it was supposed to happen, it was still dystopian fiction.

Now, with the release of Edward Snowden’s documentation of perpetual surveillance on American’s without warrants, a never ending war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Trump routinely calling the fourth estate fake news, it has become a sad reality.

That the religious right overlooks “Big Brother Trump’s” marital mishaps, his misogyny, the stream of lies, and attacks on the press is a reason to wish that “Make Orwell Fiction Again” is even more of a battle cry than the simple attack of “Impeach Trump.”

If you really want to Make America Great Again- which was always questionable in its validity- with our history of racism, slavery, internment of our citizens and even medical experiments without consent, you should want to “Make Orwell Fiction Again” and begin to move this country back from a place where children are separated from their families, where getting cancer is a surefire route to bankruptcy and graduating college means a lifetime of debt.

Order a shirt. Wear the change you want to see in our country proudly.

Hi Dave,
I’m probably the only one who is missing the point of this shirt. If this is in reference to “1984” and our current proximity to that condition, we would have to roll back quite a bit of legislation and regulation from the last several administrations. I wish you good sales in your business!!

And I thought I was the only one who didn’t get it.

OK, I’m up to speed now. Just finished watching the Eric Snowden documentary on Netflix. This is a bipartisan sentiment that all US citizens could support. :-)

I still believe that, though the teachers TOLD us Orwell was writing about communism in “Animal Farm”, he had this country in mind all along and saw this shit coming. He was quite insightful that way and also very crafty. I need that shirt!

How about “Make Esrati Beat Up A Politician Again”??? I’d pay for that shirt.

I as well had drawn vague meanings to “Make Orwell Fiction Again”, I have now a better understanding, though after much more consideration, I find its weak and not strong enough, I entertain: “Orwell was Right”

If you have to explain the slogan, does it really work for the masses ? I have read both of the Orwell books too, in junior high, and did get the reference…
