The proletariate are "without the power of grasping that the world could be other than it is"

This is the very definition of the arrogance that allowed slavery. So tempting, to dismiss in one sentence other human beings' lives & place ourselves above them. For example, "the person who wrote this was entirely incapable of seeing the error of his writing. In a million years he would always think the same way, for he was captured by his essential personality, the flaw would always remain"

@VvAnarchangelvV But please, you must understand, Goldstein says that because the Party wisely destroyed THE PAST and the access to intelectual material to the proles. He's not saying that the proles are stupid by definition, he's saying that the Government produces stupid people for it's own survival, because they know that the lower class is always a danger to them.

I could pick holes in this until the sentences that are spoken run out.

"The socialist...did not pause to reflect that hereditary aristocracies have always been short-lived, whereas adoptive organizations, such as the Catholic Church, have sometimes lasted for hundreds or thousands of years."

Even the British Royals have lasted for a thousand years, because succession does not necessarily follow lineage, let alone the Egyptians. The odious institution of Royalty is followed.

"Capitalism" and "even the pre-industrial ages", we are told, allowed more freedom for people of different merit, races and geographical areas to rise in social class. "very rigidly stratified, on what appear to be hereditary lines" And yet before that, it is said there ostensibly, these division do not exist. So when all the untouchables are black, all the peasants are tan, and the one landowner is white, no one will notice? You have been played by a Master of Deception

[VvAnarchangelvV]

Between 0:40 and 1:30 , you have heard of 3 freedoms. These 3 freedoms, you are told, are conspicuously present throughout society. Then at 1:31, suddenly they don't exist anymore. How is this possible? You have been played by a Master of Deception

You are now completely convinced that those 3 freedoms are worth nothing, because they are now linked in your mind with Eternal War... (does that mean the US declaring one war per presidency? Cause USSR was in only 2: VN, sort of, & Afghanistan)

[VvAnarchangelvV]

...& people spouting Buddhist Koans, which you have now come to realize is the true and only face of evil. (What the heck was Doublespeak supposed to be a counterpart of, anyway?)

The rise of members from lower classes is thought to be dangerous by the ruling class, we are told in a previous video. Yet "ambitious member of the outer party are rendered harmless by letting them rise through the ranks." You have been played by a Master of Deception

[drunkensilvermonkey]

Where is this from? Its not read from the book is it?

[OceanicIngsoc]

@drunkensilvermonkey Yes, Winston avidly reads it aloud to Julia who promptly falls asleep from naive, politically-immature boredom...

[TheWayha]

I cant say I agree with the storyline but an outstandingly professional job in the composition. thnx for uploading.

[UcanbeGOD]

These videos scare the shit out of me. Seriously.

[Traffordsgoogle]

I think that would please Orwell.

[levogiro]

If you want to shit in your pants... read the book... it's excelent... but terrifying.. :S... Orwell was quite simply a genius... a REAL BOLSHEVIK... an old guard one...

[LTL220]

@UcanbeGOD And they should!
