Not much relevant to the discussion but I never knew that George Orwell in his novel 1984 was making a reference to a person that existed when talking about Goldstein, the leader of the revolution in the novel (or just mere coincidence perhaps?)
1984 (like animal farm) is an analogue to the USSR—Goldstein may represent Leon Trotsky. I’m not entirely sure if Emmanuel Goldstein corresponds to anyone, though—we don’t know a lot about him except that propaganda considers him a traitor.
