        And I wonder how many similarities to his great “1984” he would find in today’s political climate......

        Leftists seem to think his books were made for specifically for them but they were really about how dangerous and authoritarian socialism/communism can be.

        ...Orwell was a socialist. You are correct, however, that he opposed authoritarianism/totalitarianism.

        ....which is what socialism/communism tends to devolve into. He pointed that out in his books.

        “Tend to devolve into”. I mean, there have been numerous fascist regimes across the world, but...yeah, no, he was clearly talking about socialism specifically. Again: dude was a socialist. Unambiguously.

        Animal Farm is an alegory for the Soviet Union.

        He was opposed to authoritarian communism, but he was still a devoted socialist and believed fascism to be the direct result of capitalism.

        Fascism is an inherently leftwing ideology. It's all about government control. Mussolini hated capitalism. Hitler hated capitalism. Stalin hated capitalism. Mao hated capitalism.

        Hitler privatized a bunch of previously state-run industries and rounded up/killed labor organizers. FFS.
