Summary/Abstract: The most significant tendency of the communist order, was the creation of the myth of the new man. This tendency from the first communist state tried to extend in various forms to western countries. This is best told by Georg Orwell in Animal Farm and 1984, but also by Aldous Huxley in Brave New World. Orwell’s sardonic satire in both his works and the arbitrary behavior of Big Brother and Napoleon and Snow Ball testify to a Western crypto-communism, as an appropriate way of governing the broad masses of the people. At the same time, this narrative represents the authors’ vision for the future of the world, the tendency for its rule 600 years after Freud (at Huxley) and, after the Colchester nuclear war (according to Orwell in 1984). This tendency has distanced literature from man as an individual, from a subject, due to the regulation of iconography and the codification of characters.
