One excellent piece, IMO, is his 'Notes on Nationalism', which attempts to address what Orwell sees as the hypocrisy of those who claim to have foregone nationalism, yet who inevitably transfer their nationalism elsewhere.

George Orwell: Notes on Nationalism -- Index page
As someone who is very much against nationalism and indeed patriotism, I found that quite interesting and in many cases quite accurate, as well as thought-provoking.
Thank you for posting it.
