The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism
- power is held by the 1% while forcing collective conformity
- “War itself is a weapon of man”
- war is a tactic of control by the elite who aren’t themselves not getting their hands dirty
- keep the poor poorer so that its easier to keep them in power
- proles can rebel, they are the only hope
- oceania: British empire, lots of land
- Eurasia: russia, large population + resources
- East Asia: leftover countries joining as an allied force, tech strengths amongst people
- the war is an orchestrated strategy employed by the ruling elite of each superstate to maintain control over their respective populations since all states have the same control mechanisms.
- party is unhumanely controlling
- critique of newspeak
- examination of social hierarchy
-discussion of resistance

chocolate dream importance
- Winston still needs growth, his humanity isn’t fully there
“war means no more than a continuous shortage of the consumption of goods, and the occasional crash of a rocket bomb”
- keeping that fear-mongering alive
- deprivation and scarcity, manipulation to stay in power
- focus on protection because of how fearful you are prevents security, and you rely on authority
maslows hierarchy and 1984
- ppl are kept at physiological needs
- deprivation causes desperation
- control tactic

- safety and security is never met because of war
two party problems
1) how to discover, against his will, what another human being is thinking (thought police can’t)
2) how to kill several hundred million people in a few seconds without giving warning beforehand (ref. to nukes)
Inner party accounts for…
less than 2% of people
- not born into it, admission is required involving an examination at 16, proles can’t and the smart ones are killed by the thought police, avoiding cross contamination
changing the past is necessary because
1) safeguard the infallibility (inability to be wrong) of the party
2) the party member tolerates present-day conditions because there are no standards of comparisonso u control the present
what does Winston NOT get
the goal of the party, WHY do they do this? aside from power and wtv.
