   I forgot to say someting (then i will stop) . I think it was important that   
   his protagonists had credibility in socialist circles. The ultimate example   
   of this is the horse in Animal Farm, which literaly works himself to death   
   to improve the community. Orwell is saying that even if you are a model   
   worker, or the ultimate blue collar workng class hero, you will be betrayed   
   by your leadership.
