[quote:Anonymous Coward 15737046:MV8yMTI5MDY1XzM1OTM2NzEyXzg3NEQxNzNE] [quote:Éireann:MV8yMTI5MDY1XzM1OTM2NTMyX0I2RkZBMUQx] [quote:Éireann:MV8yMTI5MDY1XzM1OTM2MjgwX0JFNEEwRkIz] I wonder if the people who laughed at me when I pointed out how the english language is being redefined, are laughing at me now? INGSOC, anyone? *adds 'imminent' to the list of redefined words* [/quote] And for anyone who would like to educate themselves further in the underlying concepts of "governmental structure" laid out in Orwell's book "1984", please read the following which is an analysis of "The Book" written by the opposition to the Party of Oceania: The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism, by Emmanuel Goldstein, is the fictional book that is a thematic and plot element integral to the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), by George Orwell. In the totalitarian society of Oceania, ruled by the seemingly omnipotent, omniscient Party, in its propaganda, Emmanuel Goldstein is the principal enemy of the state — a former member of the Inner Party – continually conspiring against the leadership of Big Brother. Early in the story, the protagonist thinks to himself: "There were . . . whispered stories of a terrible book, a compendium of all the heresies, of which Goldstein was the author and which circulated clandestinely here and there. It was a book without a title. People referred to it, if at all, simply as The Book". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Theory_and_Practice_of_Oligarchical_Collectivism Militarily, the Party do not fear the external conquest of Oceania — by either Eastasia or Eurasia — because the three super-states are military equals. The Oceanian social-class pyramid is a trinity: the ruling Inner Party — presided by Big Brother, an iconic, demigod leader (possibly fictional) meant to be worshiped and obeyed; the administrative Outer Party, who execute the rule of Oceania; and the Proles, who do the work. [b]The mass of the populace will not revolt against the Party’s rule, because the Minitrue’s propaganda denies them the facts that would allow them to compare countries and political systems – and so discover their enslavement. Therefore, the only possible, internal enemies would be "the splitting-off of a new group of able, under-employed, power-hungry people, and the growth of liberalism and scepticism in their own ranks".[/b] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Theory_and_Practice_of_Oligarchical_Collectivism#Chapter_I Oh how the today of yesterday is now the today of tomorrow... "It happened while they were sleeping..." [/quote] I agree. But I also think Huxley's Brave New World is a great example of the current American paradox:[b][i] slavery is freedom.[/i][/b] Many are blissfully unaware of their chains...or even WANT them. Sad. Sad. [/quote]
