1COMPARATIVE IDEAS OF POLITICAL HEROES
Introduction:
In the light of the politics, many of the great authors and the political philosophers have
shared their views and ideas. They have spoken about the political theories and about the topics
such as rights, laws, political liberty, as well as justice and authoritative power. However, they
had their views which had been affected during the period of time that they existed. Many of
these views have proved to be beneficial for the state and society, and many of them have been
not that influential. There are also views that do not exist in the political situation of the modern
times. This essay aims to talk about the contrasting views of these people and also the existence
of the same in today’s scenario.
Discussion:
George Orwell tae famous literary writer had been quite serious and dedicated towards
social politics. He had published his writings during the time of the left politics, and his
characters had a great resemblance to the political hero of Leon Trotsky and Zinoviev, and not of
Stalin. He termed his political views as “Orwelian”, which stated that there should be entire

(2015), this implied that there should be an entire authoritative power and a virtual control over
the entire social life which included the education, the art as well as the private life of all the
people. This had been unjust and this kind of political view is not valid in the modern times since
every one has the control of their individual life and there must it be any authority that should
have control over the freedom of the individuals.
