While I disagree with your “deconstructionist” analysis of the book, I defend your right to your own opinion. Orwell had a specific allegory in mind when he wrote it (hence the subtitle “A Fairy story” - many fairy tales are allegories). But I’m sure you could also read Beowulf, LOTR and The Lion, Witch and Wardrobe as allegories for the Liberal destruction of Democracy as well.
