A very useful book. It will hopefully remind our world to be weary of insane dictators as depicted in 1984.
The prospect of living under large big brother surveillance scares the shit out of me.

Anti-stalinist scaremongering by a disillusioned socdem.

probably my favorite book.
we had to read it in school. first I hated it but ended up reading it in 2 days.
its amazing how many topics this book described are true. for example liberal double-think (islam is women rights) or reducing/changing the meaning of vocabulary (racism = something something of power, so blacks cant be racist)

femninsts and stormfags would need this book inorder to control the population so it does not go into the "degenerate/sexist" traps

it sure is hard to keep huamans from going by their primal instincts and having sexist and interacial thoughts

what is considerd forbidden by the establishment, no matter which one, is always interesting

if there is such a thing as "a human nature" then its about being at odds with the world

we are all inner anarchists, just some of us want to force their beliefs on others, while the principle anarchists know better

Prophetic, but Huxley got it more right.

Bowden's analysis is wonderful

>plebbit retardation: the post

Fuck off back there you dumb nigger cunt

you're and idiot if you can't generelize the principles and apply them to all ideologies

its not like george owell talked about liberals, it just shows that he was a smart guy who found something underlying the whole political spectrum of power

and Sup Forums is no diffrent in the great sceme of power, they too fall into the same traps

good luck surviving in Sup Forumss utopia when they find out you have sex with midgets, you degenerate
or want your wife to fuck another man

How so?

Winston Smith was a whiney bastard.
He had a house and a job & all he did was moan about everything.
If he wanted escape he could have surely just become a prole?

Neat

The book is useful for spotting 19 year olds on the internet, for some reason they think its very serious eye opening literature.

It redpills people though

just some examples, dont go full autist on me, faggot

What the fuck is wrong with you cunt, go back to liberal retard land.

Orwell was a great writer, with important works outside of Animal Farm and 1984 that often go unnoticed. Down and Out in Paris and London, Keep the Aspidistra Flying among them.

We're currently in a Huxley dystopia, which precedes an Orwellian dystopia.

Except he didn't fit in the mold, the same way Sup Forums users who have a house and a relatively comfy life spend their day bitching about PC shit and the current political situation.

good luck with your life

it was just a suggestion to make you fire up your braincells

Fascinating. When I was a kid I was very into oligarchic collectivism and wanted to "complete" Goldberg's book to establish a real oligarchic collectivist political party. When I got older, I realised that Huxley's vision from Brave New World is much closer to reality than Orwells.

The ironic thing about this picture is that time will literally never come as its impossible.

t. the guy who posts "Solzhenitsyn was a novel writer" any time someone mentions gulags on /his/

it is bunch of illuminati mumbo jumbo.

Oh I see what you mean, I already read something about these two opposite-yet-similar dystopia. I think you could add Fahrenheit 451 in between them, as a transition.

Yeah but what was he mid 30s+
he wasn't a neet teenager..

Funny how they were both socialists despite knowing it was doomed to fail, yet stubbornly refused to see differently.

>mumbo jumbo

I take it you've never read it? It's very straight forward, not at all illuminated.

That's Animal Farm, 1984 is about all forms of totalitarianism. The Party doesn't have an ideology beyond "staying in power".

Huxley was a libertine not a socialist. Orwell started out as a socialist but he evolved into a liberal, albeit still one with many left-wing economic ideas.

military time?

Who needs the book when we're literally living in it

Big Brother is supposed to look a lot like Stalin though, and the book was written in the cold-war (published in 49). But yes, you can apply this to pretty much every totalitarian state.

Imo the thing that makes Huxley's dystopia more efficient is actually the fact that the government uses human laxist nature against itself (entertainment, drugs, pride related to the cast system...), when the Orwellian dystopia is oppresive and is doomed to eventually be overthrown.

Assuming you mean 24 hour time, it still doesn't go to 88.

Another thing is social media and cell phones in general. It isn't about talking to people online or on the phone, but connecting with them and wanting to go out and club, party, rave, what ever. Often times having a good weekend is going out with people in many peoples eyes. Which is similar to BNW since you COULD stay in the library to read or stay at home, but it was socially discouraged and seen as very odd and anti-social behavior.

Once people have their free time for the weekend they HAVE to go out.
