Answer 2

I think his personal history was that he had a phase as a socialist, he might have even been sympathetic with Communism for a while, but he grew, he learned, he put aside those beliefs and his best known writing had to do with the down side of socialism or totalitarianism, "1984" being a rich classic, a superb observation on human political psychology.

Answer 3

He was a "firm believer in what he termed Democratic Socialism, that is to say, in socialism combined with free debate and free elections."

In other words, he was a socialist, but very anti-communist. He believed in distribution of wealth, but not in a dictator or totalitarian state like Soviet Russia of the time.

Answer 4

Yes he was. See:

Answer 5

He was a lapsed socialist. He was enough cool and distanced intellectually to see the flaws in both sides.

Answer 6

he wrote in 1946.
