Yes, he was a cop in India. And he hated it so much he quit and wrote a novel that severely critiques what the Brits did in India. Plus he eventually became a democratic socialist and all of his most famous works endorse his democratic socialist views. But sure, if you hone in on a short period of Orwell's life that he himself deeply regretted, you can call him a fascist.

It's a critique of authoritarianism. With that novel, and Animal Farm, Orwell was trying to show people that ruthless dictatorships aren't the solution to the world's ills. He wanted a socialist society that preserved personal freedoms. Are you a Soviet union apologist?

It is a critique of communism. He was definitely not fascist. /pol/ worships him because they think that since he opposed communism, he will get in bed with them.But they don't try to understand or they ignore the fact that he fought far-right in Spain.

He also regretted fighting against Franco when he learned about the guerilla's war-crimes. Perhaps this is more nuanced than you're giving credit for. I don't think even /pol/ is stupid enough to believe simply fighting/critiquing communism makes you a fascist, they likely see him as an ideological tool that is palatable to the centre but discredits their enemies broadly.

Damn, you've figured it all out. Orwell was a crypto-fascist all along! All of the fighting he did against fascism was a clever ruse. That one word is all the proof one needs to show he was never really a socialist. Thanks for cracking the code, comrade.

Orwell wasn't a great novelist in the sense of George Eliot or Joyce. And various ditties he unwisely published make it clear that he was no poet either. But he was an excellent Journalist His passion for liberty and intellectual honesty is what many admire.

"Every line of serious work that I have written has been, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it." -Orwell

As a great man he was, he acted on his morals and fought for the Republican army during the Spanish Civil War.
