    Yes. Orwell favoured democratic socialism himself.

    The book attacked authoritarian socialism (“IngSoc” being a bit of a clue) to some degree but it didn’t really focus on the socialist elements - it was all about methods of control, which could be employed under any economic system.

    Animal Farm was a much more direct attack on Stalinism.
