Why is it when the Left calls out works as being part of the Red Scare, they never cite Animal Farm and 1984 as a part of that “hysteria”?

They also sidestep the fact that the lefties who were blacklisted really were commies. If there is a "behind the scenes" documentary about a movie from that era, or if a TCM host introduces the movie, they may refer to a writer or director being blacklisted after they were "accused of communist affiliations"; but they always fail to mention that most of these people were enthusiastic card-carrying members. If there is nothing wrong with being a commie, why do they always sweep that under the rug?
