What is destructive writing? If book is destructive on one side it might be delightful on the other side.

For example if orwell would have encouraged UK into socialist revolution it would have been destructive on american side but delightful on russian side.

If we start to label books and authors as destructive, the next step is censoring.

Orwell isn't destructive. Readers might be.
