pacifism

[Paul Mackin]

Can't resist posting what Washington Post colunist Michael Kelly (who I
truly think is a nut case and belongs on Fox News) says is a 1942 quote from
George Orwell on pacifism. The quote sounds authentic enough.

"Pacifism is objectively pro-Fascist. This is elementary common sense. If
you hamper the war effort of one side you automatically help out that of the
other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the
present one. In practice, 'he that is not with me is against me.'"

Not that this is 1942 or the same kind of war or that George Orwell is God
or anything.
