The most scathing indictment of Orwell that I could ever make is that he betrayed whatever Anarchist/Leftist ideology he supposedly believed in. Obviously if he had written books that were actually Anarchist in nature I don't think liberal governments would peddle them as propaganda pieces. Certainly nothing I could say about it would match the thoroughness with which Asimov lays it out.

    From everything I understand he aligned himself with an Anarchist group in the Spanish revolution. I have heard him referred to as a social democrat as well, though.
