That's not what is understood when we use the term "Orwellian":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orwellian

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Orwellian

https://www.oed.com/dictionary/orwellian_adj?tl=true

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/orwellia...

If both the wikipedia definitions and all the dictionary definitions differ from your definition, it's probably not the dictionaries and wikipedia getting it wrong.
