in accordance to the principles of doublethink, it does not matter if the war is not real, 
or when it is, that victory is not possible. the war is not meant to be won, it is meant to
be continuous. the essential act of modern warfare is the destruction of the produce of
human labor. a hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance.
in principle, the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation.
the war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects, and its object is not victory
over eurasia or eastasia, but to keep the very structure of society intact.

1984
the film by michael radford


the rallies in 1984 recall the rallies in the u.s. for precedent dump today, the crowd roaring, hate! hate! hate! hate! though dump's rallies are far more disturbing, being here, now, and 
us.
