"I don't know how much George Orwell thought of this"
"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which"
He was very concerned about the creation of that dictatorship of the proletariat, and it's one of the things he comments about as different between the POUM and the Communists when he was in Spain.
He also objected to anarchism on the grounds that it didn't allow the freedom to be eccentric- to be the guy that decides to do something odd purely because you want to and which doesn't hurt anyone- because of the need for total democracy in an anarchist system which, he thought, meant you'd have to have a sort of collective mindset.
