If we claim that he knew, then we also have to claim by the same logic he was an idiot in that while we see similarities of 1984 now, we did not in 1984. The man wrote books, he was not a prophet. To claim he knew supports three fallacies (the Delphi, the Jean Dixon, and patchwork quilt).
This is true. I used to get looks. Now a days I get asked advice. Lol 😆
Orwell May have read many of a British Empire white paper in his day, which probably helped him to create his bureaucrat/government speak. Things are not as new as people think, and the sun has seen it all since there is nothing new under it.
1984 and Brave New World combined comes off as a training manual for tyrants. Just need to know where to apply the boot stomping and where else to apply the soma gas.

He had an understanding about what happens when a government gets too big and corruption drives the direction of the country.
Orwell may have been thinking of the Soviet Union but that border crossed me sometime back. I live in a Soviet Republic. Orwell was a profit. I am going to reread that book and take an new look at the two films I remember.
For those interested there was also a film with Richard Burton called 1984. Not sure why the villains always sound worse with British accents...
Also the audiobook is nice for those with commutes.
