Only if you don't know Orwell was an lifelong socialist.

Oh I do know that Orwell was a lont time socialist (I cannot vouch for lifelong as I do not know how he felt coming out of the womb).

He also was very much opposed to authoritarian rule and one of the points of 1984 was to distrust how a government used words to mislead -like in what I quoted

What is the authoritarian mislead in said quote?
Contrary to popular belief, socialism is not "when the government does stuff".
