Orwell was warning the left about the realities of socialism. Having served in the Spanish Civil War, he had an unaltered view of socialist revolutions that should have sent off alarms in the leftist community. Unfortunately, liberals chose to swallow the party line offered up by leftist propaganda. This lead to Stalin embracing Nazi Germany and the unbelievable marriage of leftist socialists and Hitlerian horror. There are some liberals today who unfortunately think Orwell was writing about the fear of right wing tyranny rather than the left. He had a first hand look at socialist realities and the left shunned him. A mark the left can never erase.
