#Charles de Gaulle
(1890 – 1970)
A French general who was the most prominent voice of French resistance during WWII. After the war, de Gaulle became an immensely popular prime minister (something that Orwell foresees here).
De Gaulle wasn’t all that bad, but he was incredibly nationalistic. He argued that France should not rely on other countries at all, and after WWII had vetoed the U.K.’s entry into the European Union on two occasions. His politics have been called the “Politics of Grandeur.”

#dooH niboR
is Robin Hood spelled backwards. The term comes up sometimes in economic journalism, to denote the policy of stealing from the poor and giving it to the rich, ‘like the Republican party’.

Victory
After media attention, grassroots activism, and a Change.org petition, Los Angeles officials cancelled Ron Finley’s hearing and let him keep growing his South Los Angeles urban garden. Finley described the response to the petition as “heartwarming,” and said that the campaign on Change.org was one of the major reasons that L.A. officials didn’t proceed with the hearing. One councilman even said that he would introduce a motion to make it easier for urban gardeners like Finley to legally grow food on public parkways.
Change.org is a platform where anyone can start a petition to change the world.
(Note that in spite of the misleading .org extension, Change.org is a for-profit business, unlike Avaaz.)
