I'm impressed! Most of the dumbasses on this site were told in freshman English that "1984“ is anti-capitalist, and they're stupid enough to still believe that.
Orwell's excellent "Homage to Catalonia" describes his service in the Spanish Civil War, when he was fighting for the POUM militia of the Republican army. He saw firsthand the lies, corruption, and duplicity of the leftists, the Soviets especially.
After World War 2, he was horrified at the Soviet Union's postwar strength and influence. Hence "1984," which more than any other work of any kind, describes the world of lies the left inhabits and abets.
Cheers!
