Orwell writes beautifully; I could only hope to approximate his style when I'm drinking, and then it would look bad in the morning. His message, however, is timeless and unmistakeable.
But, he did accurately lay out the 'logic' necessary to run a truly monstrous totalitarian state. Judging from recent events, one could call Orwell a truly prescient individual.
No doubt. He was a dramatically principled man, who acquired his morality first-hand.
I think I misread the poster's original intent and put my word in where it didn't belong.
