George Orwell Communism Quotations

I always disagree, however, when people end up saying that we can only combat Communism, Fascism or what not if we develop an equal fanaticism. It appears to me that one defeats the fanatic precisely by not being a fanatic oneself, but on the contrary by using one's intelligence.

The Communism of the English intellectual is something explicable enough. It is the patriotism of the deracinated.
