rant/ I somehow doubt George Orwell was trying to show the "joke which democracy is". Maybe you meant totalitarianism? Engage brain before writing next time, mate. /rant
Forgive me, if I missed the irony in your post, but your comment leaves an unsavoury stench of stupidity. 
And what's up with that lousy attempt at justifying your comment with Karl Marx's rambling. Ah well...

<quote>British author George Orwell predicted how the erosion of civil liberties could be achieved by stealth, in his novels Animal Farm and 1984.</quote>

"Animal Farm" wasn't at all about erosion of civil liberties by spying, rather about a joke which democracy is... As Karl Marx's said: "Democracy is the road to socialism", nuff said..
