1984 was not a warning against communism. It is about criticizing anti-communist movements that take over after a revolution by using twisted socialist logic to justify authoritarian governance, it is also about exploring what mechanism such governments would use to control people, it is about totalitarianism as well, it is a about a lot of things but criticizing communism is not one of them. Have you ever read animal farm? It is simpler and says this as well. Sure, on a surface level the party could seem like a portrayal of communism but if you look a little deeper then you will see that the logic and actions of the party is a betrayal of communist ideals, such institutions of authoritarian governance is completely and utterly distinct from communism and I’m sure George Orwell would agree. An obvious example of the betrayal of communist ideals is that the vast majority of people in 1984 are referred to as subhuman by the people in power and are routinely assassinated if they express any revolutionary intent. 1984 was not a critique of communism, this reminds of a channel called China uncensored where the only good critique they can muster is of authoritarianism whilst they repeatedly fail to critique communism and socialism. They also made some good jokes from time to time, haven't watched them in a long time tho, so they might have degraded.
