“What is needed is the right to print what one believes to be true, without having to fear bullying or blackmail from any side.”

– George Orwell, "Nineteen Eighty-Four" (published June 1949)

Orwell's '1984' and the rise of U.S. Socialism 5de528c654d8b.image

The most definitively germane novel of the 20th century is so trendy it is deluded as contemporary. It birthed the words in our language "Big Brother" and "doublethink." It turned 70 years young this year. Translated into 65 languages, "Nineteen Eighty-Four" has sold so many copies worldwide, it has guaranteed George Orwell a dubious and unique place in the archives of world literature. If there is any doubt about the tenacious power of classic literature and its influence on modernized culture, we need to “doublethink”: Since the election of Barack Obama and his progressive far left, and the rise of U.S. Socialism, 1984 heads the Amazon “Movers & Shakers” list.

It is uncanny how much of the monolithic State of Oceania resonates within today’s America. From the malevolent Big Brother monitoring everything we do, the history-erasing Ministry of Truth, to the omnipresent telescreens of the thought police, we’ve accepted these daemons in disguise. What was a cautionary tale and eerie prophecy of systematic violation of power has become rooted in our nation. However, unlike the classic lexicon where the pernicious Big Brother had a cryptic hold on his total society and its institutions, a committee of traditional media and federalist progressives controls the content of our thoughts, speech, curriculum and catechisms all in the name of political correctness.
