I would even argue Orwell was even somewhat of a philosopher. The part that I love most in 1984 is when O'Brien gives his speech to Winston about Power, I feel like a lot of Orwells actions and mindset came together and made since after that moment. The character of O'Brien arguing that the problem is Power, it has always been Power and it will always be Power. As long as humanity exists, there will be humans who seek Power over other humans in whatever form they can. Power takes many forms, such as money or guns, religions or political movements, and it will always be a part of human society.
He criticizes the Nazis and the Soviets, saying that they spoke lies about "Utopias", and while the Party of Ingsoc/Big Brother does the same, it does not believe in its own lies. That the Nazis and Soviets believed that they were going to build a Utopia once the blood was finally spilled, they could not accept that what they truly wanted was Power. O'Brien argued that Big Brother is more successful than those "Totalitarians of the past", as the Party is capable of accepting that it wants Power. It doesn't want a Utopia, it doesn't dream of saving humanity, it just wants to bend humanity to its will.
All this to say, Orwell is very obviously commenting on one of Humanities greatest problems that has been with us since our inception, and will likely follow us into our grave. There will always be people in Power, animals using more complicated toys to force other animals to do as they desire. The desire for Power will grow increasingly more subtle as we evolve. For me in that moment, 1984 ceased to be a political commentary and evolved into a commentary on human nature.
