Only if you go with the facile “anything I don’t like is capitalism” definition. Nineteen Eighty-Four was very carefully constructed to not be identifiable as any particular economic form because the focus was on authoritarians, not how money was managed. Orwell very carefully drew from the Nazis (capitalism on steroids) but also from Stalinists in crafting the society it was set in. Because, to repeat for emphasis, the point wasn’t political systems but rather architectures of power.

The idea that political systems and economic systems can be separated from one another is hilarious. Pure ideology.
