Yes, actually. Blair spent most of his time serving the same crown that backed fascist regimes, including writing up a list of suspected gays and communists for purging and/or arrest.

Dude wrote Animal Farm ffs and baked so much distain for the proles into Nineteen Eighty-Four I wonder whether he ever actually liked the people he thought he was helping in Catalonia.

No, they were problems 30 years ago, too; it was just masked by other factors. Don’t confuse your lack of awareness of a position with that position’s nonexistence.

For that to be a justifiable strategy you need to exist in a context where that creates victory, and we do not. You must create propaganda to counter propaganda, rhetoric that meets rhetoric and the listener where they are, and most people don’t give a shit about rationality or ideological consistency or even factuality.

And some of what you said is blatantly false: he is conservative, and while he might like Canada’s healthcare system he also doesn’t like it, he actively hates wealth redistribution, and what he criticizes and how categorizes him pretty solidly in the fascist camp, and where not fascist then something even weirder (usually just ‘drug-addled’) but no less right-wing.
