[QUOTE=Sobotnik;40953287]The person never really read 1984. The proletariat is controlled the same way in 1984 as in Huxleys book.

Both have lotteries, the proles are left to themselves, they have access to beer and sex, pornography and crap novels, get celeb gossip, etc.

Only difference is that the middle class is controlled in a stalinist style in 1984.[/QUOTE]

the proles are barely relevant in the book, the prostitute and whatever Winslow explained about them is all there is about them in the book. The vast majority is about the middle class

[QUOTE=BANNED USER;40962593]My government is being very suspicious, they should tell us exactly what's going on, [i]what do they have to hide?[/i][/QUOTE]

If the government says if we do nothing wrong, we shouldn't have anything to hide.

Doesn't that mean the government should declassify everything?
