Not sure Orwell had well defined political views at that point in his life. He was a bookfag and never a doctrinaire Marxist ideologue. He didn't really understand the politics of Spain when he went there although he identified as a socialist at that point.
IMHO his personality and politics was like the socialist version of Billy Brown of London Town. That was a cartoon character stuck around the London Underground during WWII to encourage people to wait their turn in line, be patriotic, and conserve resources and stuff like that. Turn off your lights during blackouts!
His view of socialism was like that. A very rationalist, "common sense" English version of it (in contrast to the Russian version) that's supposed to be about fairness and decency (as he saw it), and also an alternative to a hypocritical English gentry who kept their heads in the sand until German bombers were attacking them during the Blitz. He never joined the communist party and saw them (at home) as hypocritical intellectuals disillusioned by their own country and not feeling any patriotism for it while acting like jingoistic, power-hungry fags for Russia, basically weaboos with academic degrees.
