"WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH"
PAGE 16
The slogan of the Party is a tough one to crack. All of these things are complete opposites in today's world. And, I find it hard to accept these things. Freedom is the right to not be enslaved. Ignorance is a weakness. War is violence and unrest. The Party conducts duties the complete opposite of today's world and the world when Orwell wrote the book. This is the world Orwell envisions in forty years, but this never happened. In what world would someone actually accept these principles to be true? However, I should not underestimate, for Hitler did persecute millions of Jews for no apparent reason. So this phenomenon does not surpirse me.
