Does anyone know what the name of the "party" is in the book.

I'm fairly sure it's never named. It's a socialist party, and it's the the only party offered in Oceana (sp?).

Socialist? And I always thought it was fascist!
Or is that the whole idea...?
yeah the name of the party is never mentioned...
and it is just fronted as socialist, so that it looks like what they are doing is really for the good of the people, but really it is totalitarian.
Wasn't Ingsoc the name of the party? If I am not wrong, it's in the Emmanuel Goldstein`s book.

INGSOC was the philosiphy of the "party" im pretty sure cause the Eurasian equivalent of it was neo-bulshivism.
um guys (with an exeption) i think your missing the entire point of the book.
george orwell took things from totaliterians under both names the book is about totaliterianisum, the party rose to power under soculisum (ingsoc, capitalists in the historybook) but the point is that it dosent matter the few hold power over the meny and that isent good.
