Orwell’s 1984 about liberalism not totalitarianism, claims Moscow diplomat

"claims Moscow diplomat."

This fits perfectly well in HN's title character limit: "Orwell’s 1984 about liberalism not totalitarianism, claims Moscow diplomat"

Saying that Orwell did not write about the things that Orwell wrote about is, well, you know.

Full headline is "Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four about liberalism, not totalitarianism, claims Moscow diplomat".

Eric Blair was a socialist, so not sure how anti-"liberalism" he could be.
