This thinker labelled W.H. Auden a "pansy" over a line about the "acceptance of guilt in the necessary murder." He opened by noting "highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me" before calling for an English revolution in "The Lion and the Unicorn." This man tried to explain why socialism is not more popular in his study of the working poor in Northern England, The (*) Road to Wigan Pier, and attacked the use of overly complex diction in "Politics and the English Language." He criticized Stalinism in Homage to Catalonia, which relates his volunteer service in the Spanish Civil War, and used a Burmese market as the setting for his anti-Imperalist essay "Shooting an Elephant." For 10 points, name this author who also attacked totalitarianism through his novel about Winston Smith, 1984.
