I can't remember which one of her stories it was even from, but my favourite Minna Canth moment was the one where a poor, long-suffering woman, absolutely ground to mince meat by brutal poverty, asks a priest why does God allow there to be so much suffering in the world. And the priest is like perhaps it is to help guide others into the light, to make them also understand the frailty of life.
And the woman is so stunned by this answer that she snaps out of her utter, shattered despair, and goes "with all due respect, Father, but if somebody needs to witness the suffering of others in order to understand that they should live their life right, then they have earned their place in Hell. With all due respect but that is how I believe."

gotta give this a reread but yes orwell wanted to express that revolution as a concept is a reactionary solution to the oppression incited by the ruling class while in the same vein acknowledging that there is no right or wrong way to protest the actions of the 1% BECAUSE they hold the power in the dynamic regardless of what action is taken.
the only way to take efficient action against such a force is to make the ruling class the minority and then pray to the heavens that the masses and majority may persevere over that minority. but we may not ever truly see that in full effect because unfortunately, if we didn't have any asshole 1%-ers in the world the good would simply be balanced out with some other type of evil. yk the whole, yin-yang, dark and light, order and chaos spiel ur gonna hear from me every damn time.
very funny to me when people act like animal farm and 1984 are revolutionary anti government texts that the Powers That Be dont want you to read when they have literally been a part of every standard middle/highschool english lit cirriculum in the usa and beyond for decades. precisely because theyre such convenient primers to propagandize that Commies = Bad. the government is quite literally making kids read them
