Orwell's charm (though "charm" is a bit of a stretch) was in his idiosyncratic expression of common sense. It made sanctimony seem kind of cool. The problem is that does not refine itself with imitation.
Orwell, despite being much celebrated, is actually very good. His imitators suffer from imitating him rather than his approach. They imitate his opposition to Soviet-style totalitarianism, but they neglect the unstated common sense truth of their own day. See: C. Hitchens.
Orwell is never quite satisfiying because he died before reaching the conclusion to which he was travelling: socialism itself as the problem. He died before he could give up on socialism. His patriotism and love of liberty inclince towards what he was: the last Edwardian.
Classical liberalism is used by the hard right because fascism is liberalism in a state of emergency. Classical liberalism was hierarchical and patriarchical. For a fascist, what’s not to love? Not all classical liberals are fascists, but all fascists are classical liberals.
