That's a look at the socialist beliefs of George Orwell. Also, a look at his writings on Soviet Communism.
George Orwell was a fascinating figure and brilliant writer. He was an idealist who is best known for his work warning of the dangers of totalitarianism (whatever its political form). This fact can see in the two classics, 1984 and Animal Farm. However, Orwell was also a committed socialist who sought to promote a more egalitarian and fairer society.

"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism, as I understand it."
George Orwell, "Why I write" p. 394

Firstly, George Orwell was a democratic socialist. He stated this consistently throughout his life – from the mid-1920s to his death in 1950, he wrote a compelling account warning of the dangers of a totalitarian state. But, Orwell always maintained that just because he severely criticised Soviet-style Communism didn't make him any less a socialist. Socialism, as Orwell understood it, stood for all the values – democracy, liberty, equality – that Soviet Communism rejected. Moreover, Orwell believed that only a genuinely democratic Socialist regime would support freedom.

"And the only regime which, in the long run, will dare to permit freedom of speech is a socialist regime. If Fascism triumphs I am finished as a writer — that is to say, finished in my only effective capacity. That of itself would be a sufficient reason for joining a socialist party."
– George Orwell, "Why I Joined the Independent Labour Party"
