Jean-Claude Michéa, born in 1950, is a retired philosophy professor and French philosopher, author of several essays devoted in particular to the thought and work of George Orwell.[1] Libertarian socialist,[2] he is known for his committed positions against the dominant currents of the left which, according to him, has lost all spirits of anti-capitalist struggle to make way for the “religion of progress”.[3] Advocating several moral values near the George Orwell's socialism, Jean-Claude Michéa excoriates the leftist intelligentsia that had, according to him, got away from the proletarian and popular world.[4] He champions collective moral values in a society more and more individualistic and liberal, using only the law and the economy to justify itself. He “considers that the liberal bourgeois models had prevailed upon socialism, in swallowing it up” and “regrets that the socialism had accepted the political liberalism’s theories”[5]
