> 1984 is often taken as a denouncement of socialism
It's specifically a denouncement of Stalinism and the paths that led there. The tendency of people to conflate everything from Blairism through Fabianism to Stalinism into the same "socialism" makes it hard for them to see that it's not a denouncement of all of those things at once.
