Compared to the factual and technical aspects of Marxist ideology as seen in The Communist Manifesto, Orwell?s approach is more human. It analyzes the lives and movements of both the proletariat and bourgeoisie in an attempt to bring the people back to socialism in its hour of crisis. Almost ninety years later, Marxist ideology was not sufficient to convince people that Socialism was indeed bound to triumph over Capitalism or Fascism. The worsening conditions of the working class were simply not enough to convert the widening spectrum of disbeliveers. Due to the setbacks Soc

Marx?s basic ideology presented in The Communist Manifesto included decisions about property, education, woman and the family, and the nation as a whole. While Orwell did not write extensively about his belief of how socialism concerns these issues, he did spend a great deal of time writing about progress and the ultimate aim of Socialism. In this distinction, the difference between the ideologies of both men becomes evident. Marx defined the Communist goal repeatedly as being the overthrow of the bourgeoisie class and the abolition of private property to immediately benefit the oppressed workers. He scientifically spelled out the changes that would take place as a result of a violent revolution and how this will affect other aspects of society.

In the 1930?s, it had become clear neither socialism nor communism would be as effortlessly inevitable as Marx had predicted. ? It seems only yesterday that Socialists, especially orthodox Marxists, were telling me with superior smiles that Socialism was going to arrive of its own accord by some mysterious process called ?historical necessity?. Possibly that belief still lingers, but it has been shaken, to say the least of it? (Orwell, 172). The predictions about the conditions of the proletariat had come true, yet socialism had failed in its practical attempts and was loosing its hold on a changing population. As a result, while Marx wrote directly to the proletariat to advocate the overthrow of the bourgeoisie, Orwell?s audience was the straying bourgeoisie. Orwell saw the possibility of the bourgeois socialist in contributing to the classless society and used his book as a path to foster sympathy for the working classes, show the prior errors of the bourgeoisie actions and answer the questions against Socialism in order to gain more support. But Orwell would not accept any disillusioned bourgeois and therefore clearly states the harsh reality of the effects of socialism for this privileged class. In terms of his ideology then, his reality is as harsh as Marxism
