Politcal writing- dry but still powerful and necesary

My reaction to george orwells politics and the english language was mixed. I agree that we need to write more efficiently and that using trite phrases weaken our writing. But I am not entirely opposed to moderate use of pretentious words, if we dont use new words how will our language ever expand how will we ever learn new words, however our sentances should never sound like the every word was plugged into a theasarus?  I was skeptical of  his argument but when he juxtaposed the old English and modern English passages, the old English was  by far better. Although  Political  writings are drier and less clear, I admire their ability  to manipulate language to express their ideas in a way that benefit their cuase. He also mentioned that the only political writings that aren’t written dully were those of the revolutionaries. Those for an orthodox party talk with a voice of conformity. Our  widespread use of this stale political language shows our need to conform. Political language is its own form of propaganda, it can bend the truth and sound educated enough that people eat it up. While Orwell presents this language in a negative light, I think he fails to highlight that its effective that we are all believing it and copying it.
