Orwellianism is often incorrectly used as a scare tactic by Republicans who think that this government is synonymous with socialism, this is sometimes called Red baiting. Some key aspects of Orwellianism are a brainwashed populace, secret (and almost constant) surveillance, a policing organization with absolute authority, constant stream of misinformation, constant war, faltering economies, limited freedom, and unevenly distributed wealth. Sound familiar? Some universities (listed in "See also") are rather Orwellian in that they hate Democrats, Atheists and non-White people, they enforce unnecessary rules, and constant questioning and interrogation to try and get an answer.
