He ' s not even president yet , but up to now he ' s shown zero level of competence . However , Captain Bullshit is the world ' s best con man . He ' s hijacked the presidency based on no policies . His motivation is to financially benefit himself and he doesn ' t care about crapping on the office of President or the American people . He is the biggest shyster in history . <| sep |> I mean there are a lot of really good things about 1984 but his prose is actually pretty bad . I always preferred Brave New World when it comes to dystopian novels . Orwell wasn ' t super educated on the subject he wrote about . The novel is obviously supposed to be about communism , the USSR in particular , but he didn ' t really understand anything about the USSR so his commentary is surprisingly shallow at times . I don ' t think he really captured what it ' s like to live in a totalitarian state . I like the book as a scifi novel but as commentary about communism it ' s quite shit .
