George Orwell was highly prescient, in “1984”. Actually what he was writing about was mostly extrapolation from the world at it existed in 1948, and drew heavily upon the experience with socialistic governments that had been a feature of most northern European countries, where its principles had been applied off and on long before Karl Marx wrote down the postulates in his dreary tome, “Das Kapital”.

Some of this may date back to the days of Rome, but its first really historic application was in the days of the Paris Commune, after the overthrow of the French monarchy.

The right person to administer the perfect socialistic state has never come along, so the system has never worked as it was intended.

No system of government has ever worked perfectly. Nor should any type of government ever be given the opportunity to operate perfectly.

Imperfect government has always been the salvation of mankind, as the opportunity to revolt against tyranny or sloth carries a strong disciplinary force.
