prophétic 1984

[pierre]

Hello everybody and excuse my bad english because I write from France.<br>I just read "1984" and I am terrified to see how it is comming, not from socialism as someones are sayins, but from liberal capitalism. And i think, i am sure, it's is writen in "1984". I explain my idea : <br><br>1) at the beginning of the novel, Winston Smith says : "This was not illegal (nothing was illegal, since there were no longer any laws)". the contrary of a socialist politic and the dream of liberal capitalists.<br><br>2) no where in the novel Orwell talks about "the state". the authority is "the Party"<br><br>3) in second part, chapter 9 (ind the book of goldstein) it's said : "After the revolutionary period of the fifties and sixties, society regrouped itself, as always, into High, Middle, and Low. But the new High group, unlike all its forerunners, did not act upon instinct but knew what was needed to safeguard its position. It had long been realized that the only secure basis for oligarchy is collectivism. Wealth and privilege are most easily defended when they are possessed jointly. The so-called 'abolition of private property' which took place in the middle years of the century meant, in effect, the concentration of property in far fewer hands than before: but with this difference, that the new owners were a group instead of a mass of individuals." Isn't that the best description of international financiary powers and funds ?<br><br>etc... I could take several examples from the book that describes exactly the actual situation of "proles" :"There was a vast amount of criminality in London, a whole world-within-a-world of thieves, bandits, prostitutes, drug-peddlers, and racketeers of every description; but since it all happened among the proles themselves, it was of no importance."<br><br>Of course, we are not living in a so dark world and we can get a lot of pleasure... but isn't it a trap ? and the poors ? and is not the number of poors getting bigger every day, to maintain middle class under control and the "inner party" of Money more and more powerfull.<br><br>here in France, our "premier ministre", a "liberal" as we says in france, is a good "speaker" who uses "slogans". The more i see him, the more i see someone of the "inner party"<br><br>etc, etc,<br><br>have good time<br><br>
