It's a great statement, even though Orwell didn't write it (as already pointed out). But there are lots of others on his wikiquote page that you'll love.
One of his essays red-pilled me big time when I read it some years ago: "Notes on Nationalism" (1945), especially the section on "negative nationalism". It applies to the left even today. With a few minor changes, it could've been written yesterday. I was astonished!
It contains one of my all-time favorite quotes: "One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that: no ordinary man could be such a fool."
