So it was a personal attack then?

My last word: we should hardly be surprised that the product of a couple of generations of laissez-faire leftist moulding acts as if it doesn't have to listen to authority. This is precisely the intention of said leftism...

Are you talking about the parliamentary left and right here?

"laissez-faire leftist" are two words otherwise seldom heard together.

If so, I don't think Orwell was discussing Parliamentary left and right divisions, but cultural ones. And so in his case "laissez-faire leftist" wouldn't make much sense.

on edit: oops, sorry, I saw it was your last word. So I guess I will never know what it is you're actually talking about.
