Excerpting one line from Orwell is an example of the kind of debasement
of political discourse he was espying in that essay.  Orwell's name has
been bandied about (the apposite '60's term is `co-opted') by every
quantum of the political spectrum.  People should read the whole essay
before taking some kind of intellectually prideful satisfaction in
apoliticality from the apparent gist of that line.  Otherwise, what are
we all talking for?
