1984 is obviously anti-totalitarian and definitely a manifesto for not giving government too much unbridled power. It was inspired, just like Animal Farm, by George Orwell's years spent in the spanish civil war, and the corruption of socialism, as he saw it, by stalinism. I don't see a basis for claiming it's anything but an anti-totalitarian novel, explaining totalitarianism as it is: a boot stomping on a human face - for ever.
