      you should read his journals, he thought Hitler was too big of a bafoon to ever become a real threat. 1984 was pretty close to just a Stalin documentary though.

        True but it was also his view on something that could happen to england. His view on how an established totalitarian system modelled after Stalinism could take hold and look like in the UK.

        Basically written as a sort of warning.
