I'm inclined to an opinion that Orwell was thinking of both Stalin & Atlee 
when he wrote 1984.  He is criticizing a tendency toward the dictatorship of 
the bureaucracy instead of the proletariat in both systems.    
I know he was harshly criticized by the far left, i.e.. the Stalinist-Maoist 
camp (accurately, given their assumptions) for his "Social-Democratic" 
tendencies.
