Orwell was from a communist regime and wrote three very telling books; Animal Farm, 1984, and Brave New World. He was NOT a fan of teh communism. He would not be a fan of Teh Won.
Oddly enough Orwell was a socialist. Or that is what the biography blurb on my copy of 1984 says anyway. 
Orwell was, indeed, an avowed Socialist. Very conflicted about it. By all accounts though, he was an ardent anti-communist. He was clear headed enough to understand Communism, but couldn't equate the two, as is always practiced. The best way I can describe him is Utopian, who suffered from the same dilutions that many academics suffer. I think if you took Orwell and plopped him down in the US today, he would have a bit different of a take on Socialism.
Brave New World = Aldous Huxley.
