Well, wikipedia is certainly either not a fully trustfull source of 
information. 

Was 1984 based on Soviet Union? I doubt that. I doubt also that the Animal 
Farm was.

Orwell wrote rather about the possible evolution of the western civilization. 
Was he so wrong? In some sense no: 911 is an example.
