About This Quote
This quote is a famous quote by George Orwell. It sums up the basic concept of how democracy works. A democratic society is one where everyone has an equal say, in spite of their race, religion, or gender. Where people are free to express their views and ideals to the whole world.
Where they can be heard even if they are not in power, and can freely criticize those in power. Where democracy exists not just for all people but for all groups of people because it is the only way that everyone will have equal rights, no matter where they come from or what they believe in.
