There are different degrees of dogmatism within the left and the right, it's called the political spectrum.

Orwell was a critic of both extreme left and right wing politics, however his profession as a journalist forced him to lean to an undogmatic left wing stance because he saw fascism as a greater threat to freedom of speech.

I always thought of orwell as more of an Anarchist with socialist tendancys and sympothy with Trotsykism. Also it is more a critic of the soviet union and totalitarianism than of any specific political ideolgy, and we could debate all day weather or not the USSR was socialit.

He said anarchy was sentimental nonsense in 1936 and that:

>"it is always necessary to protect peaceful people from violence. In any state of society where crime can be profitable you have got to have a harsh criminal law and administer it ruthlessly."

He was a democratic socialist.
