Do you think George Orwell would approve of someone calling his book "objectively, unquestionably totally morally good" Do you think the viewpoint of 1984 is positive toward people who believe things can be "objectively, unquestionably totally morally good"

Being fired for your opinions is "Orwellian" in the sense that it has been the status quo for the working class under capitalism for hundreds of years, and Orwell did not in fact like capitalism

The term "Orwellian" has come to be used so trivially that its lost any poignant meaning.

Not what he said. He's pointing out that you clearly don't understand 1984 if you think the problem with the party was simply "authoritarianism". You're ignoring the important intersections of surveillance, nationalism, physical and mental control, as well as authoritarianism.
