George Orwell was and remained a socialist, one quite similar, although he properly didn't have much time for intellectualising, to the Frankfurt school.

Yes. it's right to remind those moronic Tories who claim Orwell as one of their own that Orwell remained a Socialist, a fact which strengthens the power of his critique.
Today, however, a man who wrote 'I should like to put it on record that I have never been able to dislike Hitler' would instantly find himself
en route to PC oblivion.
