    Some of it was experience. The overarching theme of 1984 was the inevitable betrayal, which was a concept he grappled with most of his life.

      Well I think most of his life is a bit much. I think specifically it’s his experience when he fought in Catalonia for the anti-authoritarian Marxists (POUM) having the Stalin backed communists betray POUM and kill and imprison his comrades.
