'''(The Party has instructed the
'''English Socialism''', most known by its clipping '''Ingsoc''' and alternatively as '''Orwellianism''','' ''is a "doubleplus" totalitarian ideology based on George Orwell's classic novel [[File:Literally1984.png]] ''
==
English novelist George Orwell wrote fiction that heavily criticized totalitarianism. A [[File:Dsa.png]] [[Democratic Socialism|democratic socialist]], he feared that more statist [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|Socialist]] movements in the United Kingdom would ultimately turn into a totalitarian society governed entirely by a single party and ideology. He published ''Nineteen Eighty-Four'' in 1949 and created the English Socialist Party, or Ingsoc, as an example of this, showing the consequences of unhinged government surveillance, endless war, and propaganda.
==
IngSoc in the book used various means to get the people of Oceania under control, such as:
===
Newspeak is the official language of the Oceanian State. It is an extremely simplified version of the English Language, which within Newspeak is referred to as Oldspeak. The Purpose of Newspeak is the elimination of any and all nuance from the English Language to make anyone who speaks in this new version of English could only think as the party dictates.
Line 86 ⟶ 163:
Newspeak was a criticism of the tendency within the English language to become more and more simplified in such a way that nuance is removed from the language, something Orwell also talked about in his essay ''Politics and the English Language''.
The purpose of the language is to reduce “unnecessary” words and those that might lead the citizens of Oceania into thought patterns the Party wants to avoid. They believe if they can rid the English language of troubling words, then there will be no way that anyone can conceive of the concepts without them.
It is a language that is still under construction as the novel’s plot is playing out. There are various iterations of the Newspeak dictionary, and one of Winston Smith’s associates, Syme, is working on the text. The language reduces words to syllables and combines them together to create new, unusual words.
When constructing this language, Orwell was influenced by real-life examples in Germany and Russia. The term “Nazi” is a reduction of “nationalsozialist” and “Gestapo” is a reduction of “Geheime Staatspolizei.” These syllabic abbreviations come from a human willingness to make complicated things easier. Today, the term “Newspeak” is applied in contemporary life when someone tries to introduce a new word into the vocabulary, particularly when politicians do so.
George Orwell wrote a great deal about language, including his essay “Politics and the English Language,” published in 1946. He also included an appendix at the back of ''1984'' that deals with the concepts of Newspeak.
When writing about Newspeak, Orwell defined it in the appendix as: <blockquote>''"Newspeak was the official language of Oceania and had been devised to meet the ideological needs of Ingsoc, or English Socialism. In the year 1984 there was not as yet anyone who used Newspeak as his sole means of communication, either in speech or writing. "''</blockquote>The development of the language, he continues on to say, was to make “all other modes of thought impossible.”
===[[File:Horshu.png]] Doublethink===
Doublethink is the ability of believing two completely contradictory terms at the same time with complete certainty about both. An example is "We have always been at war with Eurasia, Eastasia was always our ally and we have always been at war with Eastasia, Eurasia was always our ally". Doublethink is based on the various ideological contradictions totalitarian states would go to, to achieve their political goals. For example, the way that in Nazi Germany the enemy was portrayed as both inferior to the Germans, yet also as controlling the entire world from the shadows. It is basically a manipulative tool of confusion, propaganda and control, because Ingsoc uses it in order to confuse the populace, making it easier to silence dissent and manipulate and control the people.
The term is used several times throughout the novel and is experienced by multiple characters. It is also one of the three most important principles of INGSOC (along with the mutability of the past and Newspeak).
When discussing the use of doublethink and its definition, the narrator states that “doublethink” is required to understand the use of “doublethink.”
Often, Smith wonders if “he alone” is “in possession of a memory?” It seems to Smith that everyone, including those he believes, is more intelligent, has entirely forgotten the past and is willing to erase any parts of their memory that Big Brother tells them to. For example, their memories are as quickly erased as Winston changes the information in news articles while at work at the Ministry of Truth.<blockquote>''"Doublethink refers to the ability to hold two contradictory thoughts in one’s head. They are a result of political indoctrination."''</blockquote>Here are well-known Doublethink sentences with one conceptualised sentence.<blockquote>''“War is peace.”'' (perpetual war can only lead to peace)
''“Freedom is slavery.”'' (true freedom leads to chaos and violence; slavery is the only way of safety and security)
''“Ignorance is strength.”'' (not questioning the regime and rejecting objective truths leads to a stronger populace)
''“We value free speech highly, but anyone who speaks out against our core values must be silenced to maintain social harmony."'' (an extension of freedom is slavery)</blockquote>
=== Telescreen ===
The telescreen is a device, it has the appearance of a dulled mirror and is usually part of the wall. It also allows the Thought Police to monitor Party members.
The telescreen has the features of television. Messages and videos will play on the telescreens throughout the city, and request programs will play that citizens have to watch. The screens also act as spies, allowing the Thought Police to observe the men and women throughout the city, ensuring no one gets away with anything that goes against the Party’s tenants.
The screens ensured that day and night, people hear about “statistics proving that people today had more food, more clothes, better houses, better recreations—that they lived longer, worked shorter hours, were bigger, healthier, stronger, happier, more intelligent, better educated, than the people of fifty years ago”, even though the opposite happened.<blockquote>''"The telescreen is a dull, mirror-looking device that inset into walls around Oceania. They observe citizens and play propaganda."''</blockquote>It is possible to turn the volume down on a telescreen but not off. This means that when the party wants to share propaganda, they have an easy way. Winston believes that telescreens are incredibly high-tech. Smart enough to see one whenever they’re in front of it and even hear a heartbeat.
From the telescreen, citizens can expect to hear speeches, videos as part of the Two Minutes Hate, and updates on the war. For example, a video of Emmanuel Goldstein plays on a screen towards the beginning of the novel. Winston also observes Julia, who he initially hates, throw the book at the telescreen.
=== Thought Police ===
The Thought Police, or Thinkpol, are the group responsible for the detection of thoughtcrime within Oceania.
Throughout ''1984,'' George Orwell uses numerous Newspeak words to define the principles of The Party. Thinkpol is one of them. It refers to the group of men and women responsible for monitoring the thoughts of all citizens of Oceania.
The group monitors the psychological ticks of men and women in The Party, arresting those they believe are committing thoughtcrime or are thinking something ideologically opposed to what the Party wants them to. [[File:Ingsoc Ingsoc.png]]INGSOC, or English Socialism, is at the center of this.
The implications of the Thought Police are wide-ranging. Citizens are frightened into policing their thoughts and further giving in to the demands of The Party. Every means of independence is stripped from the citizens of Oceania.
It’s the job of the Thought Police to spy on the citizens of Oceania. They do so by looking through the telescreens (or televisions) in everyone’s home, reading peoples’ body language, listening to the tenor of their speech, and reading facial expressions. When writing about the Thought Police towards the beginning of the novel, Orwell penned the following quote in ''1984'': <blockquote>''"Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by the telescreen; moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was, of course, no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork."''</blockquote>Here, Winston Smith, the main character, is considering how careful he has to be to avoid his speech being picked up by the telescreen. He thinks that if he stays out of its field of vision that he can avoid being seen as well. In this quote, Smith also notes how he could be under observation at any time. No one has any idea when they’re being observed. It was “guesswork” trying to figure out who was being watched when. But, it is safest to assume everyone is being watched all the time.
=== Thoughtcrime ===
Throughtcrime a term used throughout Orwell’s 1984. It is defined as thoughts that go against the political ideology of the Party.
Even if someone leaves these thoughts unspoken, it is still a crime to think them. It is one of the scariest parts of Winston Smith’s world in ''1984''. The person who thinks these thoughts is held responsible for them as though they said them out loud or committed the act they were thinking about.
When thinking about thoughtcrime, Smith notes that it:<blockquote>''"was not a thing that could be concealed for ever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you"''</blockquote>And O’Brien notes that:<blockquote>''“Thoughtcrime does not entail death, thoughtcrime IS death.”''</blockquote>The term is part of Newspeak, the language used by Party members throughout the novel. Every edition of the Newspeak dictionary removes more words, compressing them. Ideally, the novel implies, once complete, there are going to be very few things anyone can think about outside what the Party desires. This is going to whittle down the possibilities of ever committing thoughtcrime. <blockquote>''"The term “thoughtcrime” is used to describe a thought that’s antithetical to the Party’s teachings and beliefs. For example, if one felt sexual desire towards another person, thought something negative about Big Brother, doubted Oceania’s war, and more. Winston Smith repetitively commits thoughtcrime throughout the novel and works hard to try to keep it from showing on his face. "''</blockquote>
=== Two Minutes Hate ===
In George Orwell’s iconic novel 1984, the Party subjects its citizens to a daily ritual known as the Two Minutes Hate. This Orwellian concept has become synonymous with the novel’s oppressive and totalitarian regime.
The Two Minutes Hate is one of the best-remembered and often-referenced sections of the novel. It’s shocking for any first-time reader the way that the quiet and depressing Records Department transforms into a passionate mob when stimulated with the right imagery on the telescreen. <blockquote>The Two Minutes Hate is a daily ritual practiced in George Orwell’s dystopian novel ''1984''. It is a period of intense hatred and contempt directed towards the Party’s enemy, Emmanuel Goldstein, and his teachings. </blockquote>The Two Minutes Hate is organized by the government and held wherever citizens are working. Everyone is expected to vocally express their hatred for the enemy by shouting, cursing, and spitting at a two-minute video projected onto a large screen.
This ritual is part of the government’s effort to maintain control over its citizens and keep them in line with its goals. During the Two Minutes Hate, citizens are encouraged to express their hate as vigorously and strongly as possible. This hate is meant to be a rallying cry for the people to fight against the enemies of the Party and to remain loyal to the government.
The first mention of the “two minutes hate” in ''1984'' is found on page 13. Winston describes what it’s like to work in the Records Department when the Two Minutes Hate occurs. Everyone drags their chairs to the center of the room opposite a large television or telescreen. Everyone is expected to take their place at “eleven hundred” hours. Orwell wrote: <blockquote>''"Winston was just taking his place in one of the middle rows when two people whom he knew by sight, but had never spoken to, came unexpectedly into the room."''</blockquote>The importance of this first example of the Two Minutes Hate corresponds with the first time that Winston Smith sees Julia, the young woman with whom he’s destined to start an illegal affair.
== Four Ministries ==
Ingsoc advocates for the organisation of four ministries, collaborating with each other as tools of control. Here are the four ministries set by the chain of command and control:
=== Ministry of Love ===
The Ministry of Love (Newspeak: Miniluv) is the ministry that deals with personal relationships, surveillance and police, perverting them into tools of control. The name also has falsifications because it completely contradicts any personal relationship rather than with Big Brother, uses extensive surveillance tactics to abolish any privacy, and uses police brutality and torture sometimes with Room 101 to create an atmosphere of fear and repression where any sign of dissent is punished severely, making dissenters mentally and emotionally vulnerable, reinforcing its oppressive policies. However the name is also apt because true love is redefined as love ''only'' to Big Brother.
=== Ministry of Truth ===
The Ministry of Truth (Newspeak: Minitrue), directly supporting the Ministry of Love is the ministry that deals with television networks, mass media and news, also perverting them into tools of control. The name has falsifications because it rewrites historical information to fit into the Party’s narrative, and uses expressive propaganda to create an atmosphere where the Party is always right and invincible, preventing people from questioning the Party’s status. However you could argue that the name is also apt because with Newspeak and Doublethink redefines truth as entirely the Party’s doctrine.
=== Ministry of Plenty ===
The Ministry of Plenty (Newspeak: Miniplenty) is the ministry that deals with the economy, food and resources, perverting them into tools of control. The name has falsifications because it extensively cuts resources and food, from the populace, just keeping them alive enough to work, but not enough to think, to question because weaker people are easier to manipulate and control and hold dependent while redirecting those resources to the elite, where they live in excess and luxuries. However, the name is also apt because it falsifies economic data to look like the rations do bring abundance and stability, creating an atmosphere of prosperity and plenty to the populace while the reality outside the atmosphere is poverty and inequality.
=== Ministry of Peace ===
The Ministry of Peace (Newspeak: Minipax) is the ministry that deals with the military, immigration and external relations, perverting them into tools of control. The name has falsifications because it actively engages in everlasting conflict, sometimes committing war crimes, false-flag operations and manipulative tactics while perverting the war ''itself'' into a tool of control, distracting the populace away from internal conflicts with an atmosphere of external conflicts. However, the name is also apt because the war is everlasting and “keeps the peace”, because it doesn’t matter which side wins, as long as it is used as a tool of control. It also justifies the Ministry of Plenty’s rations because they divert resources away from the populace and redirects the resources to the military and the elite and also keeps the populace clinging the party for safety and stability.
==Personality==
IngSoc is a malevolent and power-hungry individual seeking to exert his will across everything in existence. IngSoc generally acts without showing much emotion and has a cold and clinical manner of speaking. The only exceptions are when he is talking about Big Brother, in which case he will be somewhat enthusiastic.
Like in 1984, IngSoc will constantly rewrite facts, even doing so mid-sentence at times. In many cases, IngSoc genuinely believes in the lies and contradictions he makes up, a consequence of Doublethink (see Further Reading for more information).
IngSoc has no tolerance for dissent in others. Should any character contradict him or slight him in any way, IngSoc will
IngSoc can also appear acceptable and benevolent, as a normal patriot in order to hide his true feelings. He then selectively quotes other polcompballs in order to reinforce his agenda.
===Stylistic Notes===
*IngSoc always has one eye and is the only Polcompball to have a pupil.

*[[File:Statlib.png]] [[State Liberalism]] - Unpersoning bigots is doubleplusgood, but you have the same issues as [[File:Pinochet-hat.png]] him
*[[File:Necon.png]] [[Neoconservatism]] - Same issues as above but controlling the Americas (at least indirectly) Airstrip One and Oceania, five eyes surveillance, sending those who oppose you to CIA, ASIS, and MI6 black sites, influencing parts of the media to serve your interests so you can keep the West to favor you and forever wars, is oneplusgood. But you lack the will to create a true one-party system and directly control the Americas. My Room 101 is gonna make your Guantanamo Bay prison look like a luxury palace.
*[[File:Antot.png]] [[Anarcho-Totalitarianism]] - You took "freedom is slavery" way too literally.
*[[File:Ultraprogressivism.png]] [[Revolutionary Progressivism]] - Erasing all traces of the past so no one will even remember it ever existed is doubleplusgood. But seeking a future other than this one is doubleplusungood. There is no past nor future. Only an eternal present...

*[[File:AmericanModel_1.png]] [[American Model]] - My anthem is named after one of your songs and Oceania uses dollars. However, the United States never existed.
*[[File:Blanqui.png]] [[Blanquism]] - The only way to true socialism is control by a small few, but power is the end, not the means.
*[[File:Fem.png]] [[Feminism]] - Women being allowed into the workplace is doubleplusgood, but sex-positivity is thoughtcrime.
*[[File:Illum.png]] [[Illuminatism]] - Establishing doubleplustotalitarian control, erasing the past, and controlling what is considered truth is doubleplusbased. But why rule from the shadows when you can rule directly? Also, Adam Weishaupt never existed.
*[[File:IllibDem.png]] [[Illiberal Democracy]] - Ingsoc is simultaneously the only true democracy and an alternative to the degenerate ideology of democracy.
*[[File:StateathFedora.png]] [[State Atheism]] - All traditional religions never existed, but there is no God but Big Brother.
*[[File:Reactsoc.png]] [[Reactionary Socialism]] and [[File:Yellsoc.png]] [[Yellow Socialism]] - Hierarchical socialism is doubleplusbased, and [[File:Fitzhugh.png]] [[Reactionary Socialism|Fitzhugh]] was the closest thing to an IRL believer of "freedom is slavery", but the past never existed.

Latest revision as of 12:01, 24 August 2024
This article is about a fictional ideology and has no foundation in real life political movements.
"If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever."
(The Party has instructed the wiki to remind you that War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength. Big Brother is watching you.)
English Socialism, most known by its clipping Ingsoc and alternatively as Orwellianism, is a "doubleplus" totalitarian ideology based on George Orwell's classic novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, inhabiting an AuthUnity area outside the Political Compass. He is most often described as "the apex of totalitarianism", in which the state has complete control over the individual.
History
English novelist George Orwell wrote fiction that heavily criticized totalitarianism. A democratic socialist, he feared that more statist
Socialist movements in the United Kingdom would ultimately turn into a totalitarian society governed entirely by a single party and ideology. He published Nineteen Eighty-Four in 1949 and created the English Socialist Party, or Ingsoc, as an example of this, showing the consequences of unhinged government surveillance, endless war, and propaganda.
Party Policy
IngSoc in the book used various means to get the people of Oceania under control, such as:
Newspeak
Newspeak is the official language of the Oceanian State. It is an extremely simplified version of the English Language, which within Newspeak is referred to as Oldspeak. The Purpose of Newspeak is the elimination of any and all nuance from the English Language to make anyone who speaks in this new version of English could only think as the party dictates.
Newspeak is primarily made up of clippings of oldspeak words, with an example being the party's name "Ingsoc" and the names of ministries of the oceanian state (minitrue, miniluv, miniplenty and minipax), a reference to political and bureaucratic jargon of the USSR (Politburo, Comintern, Gulag, etc.) and also of Nazi Germany (Gestapo, Nazi, etc.).
Newspeak was a criticism of the tendency within the English language to become more and more simplified in such a way that nuance is removed from the language, something Orwell also talked about in his essay Politics and the English Language.
The purpose of the language is to reduce “unnecessary” words and those that might lead the citizens of Oceania into thought patterns the Party wants to avoid. They believe if they can rid the English language of troubling words, then there will be no way that anyone can conceive of the concepts without them.
It is a language that is still under construction as the novel’s plot is playing out. There are various iterations of the Newspeak dictionary, and one of Winston Smith’s associates, Syme, is working on the text. The language reduces words to syllables and combines them together to create new, unusual words.
When constructing this language, Orwell was influenced by real-life examples in Germany and Russia. The term “Nazi” is a reduction of “nationalsozialist” and “Gestapo” is a reduction of “Geheime Staatspolizei.” These syllabic abbreviations come from a human willingness to make complicated things easier. Today, the term “Newspeak” is applied in contemporary life when someone tries to introduce a new word into the vocabulary, particularly when politicians do so.
George Orwell wrote a great deal about language, including his essay “Politics and the English Language,” published in 1946. He also included an appendix at the back of 1984 that deals with the concepts of Newspeak.
When writing about Newspeak, Orwell defined it in the appendix as:
"Newspeak was the official language of Oceania and had been devised to meet the ideological needs of Ingsoc, or English Socialism. In the year 1984 there was not as yet anyone who used Newspeak as his sole means of communication, either in speech or writing. "
The development of the language, he continues on to say, was to make “all other modes of thought impossible.”
Doublethink
Doublethink is the ability of believing two completely contradictory terms at the same time with complete certainty about both. An example is "We have always been at war with Eurasia, Eastasia was always our ally and we have always been at war with Eastasia, Eurasia was always our ally". Doublethink is based on the various ideological contradictions totalitarian states would go to, to achieve their political goals. For example, the way that in Nazi Germany the enemy was portrayed as both inferior to the Germans, yet also as controlling the entire world from the shadows. It is basically a manipulative tool of confusion, propaganda and control, because Ingsoc uses it in order to confuse the populace, making it easier to silence dissent and manipulate and control the people.
The term is used several times throughout the novel and is experienced by multiple characters. It is also one of the three most important principles of INGSOC (along with the mutability of the past and Newspeak).
When discussing the use of doublethink and its definition, the narrator states that “doublethink” is required to understand the use of “doublethink.”
Often, Smith wonders if “he alone” is “in possession of a memory?” It seems to Smith that everyone, including those he believes, is more intelligent, has entirely forgotten the past and is willing to erase any parts of their memory that Big Brother tells them to. For example, their memories are as quickly erased as Winston changes the information in news articles while at work at the Ministry of Truth.
"Doublethink refers to the ability to hold two contradictory thoughts in one’s head. They are a result of political indoctrination."
Here are well-known Doublethink sentences with one conceptualised sentence.
“War is peace.” (perpetual war can only lead to peace)
“Freedom is slavery.” (true freedom leads to chaos and violence; slavery is the only way of safety and security)
“Ignorance is strength.” (not questioning the regime and rejecting objective truths leads to a stronger populace)
“We value free speech highly, but anyone who speaks out against our core values must be silenced to maintain social harmony." (an extension of freedom is slavery)
Telescreen
The telescreen is a device, it has the appearance of a dulled mirror and is usually part of the wall. It also allows the Thought Police to monitor Party members.
The telescreen has the features of television. Messages and videos will play on the telescreens throughout the city, and request programs will play that citizens have to watch. The screens also act as spies, allowing the Thought Police to observe the men and women throughout the city, ensuring no one gets away with anything that goes against the Party’s tenants.
The screens ensured that day and night, people hear about “statistics proving that people today had more food, more clothes, better houses, better recreations—that they lived longer, worked shorter hours, were bigger, healthier, stronger, happier, more intelligent, better educated, than the people of fifty years ago”, even though the opposite happened.
"The telescreen is a dull, mirror-looking device that inset into walls around Oceania. They observe citizens and play propaganda."
It is possible to turn the volume down on a telescreen but not off. This means that when the party wants to share propaganda, they have an easy way. Winston believes that telescreens are incredibly high-tech. Smart enough to see one whenever they’re in front of it and even hear a heartbeat.
From the telescreen, citizens can expect to hear speeches, videos as part of the Two Minutes Hate, and updates on the war. For example, a video of Emmanuel Goldstein plays on a screen towards the beginning of the novel. Winston also observes Julia, who he initially hates, throw the book at the telescreen.
Thought Police
The Thought Police, or Thinkpol, are the group responsible for the detection of thoughtcrime within Oceania.
Throughout 1984, George Orwell uses numerous Newspeak words to define the principles of The Party. Thinkpol is one of them. It refers to the group of men and women responsible for monitoring the thoughts of all citizens of Oceania.
The group monitors the psychological ticks of men and women in The Party, arresting those they believe are committing thoughtcrime or are thinking something ideologically opposed to what the Party wants them to. INGSOC, or English Socialism, is at the center of this.
The implications of the Thought Police are wide-ranging. Citizens are frightened into policing their thoughts and further giving in to the demands of The Party. Every means of independence is stripped from the citizens of Oceania.
It’s the job of the Thought Police to spy on the citizens of Oceania. They do so by looking through the telescreens (or televisions) in everyone’s home, reading peoples’ body language, listening to the tenor of their speech, and reading facial expressions. When writing about the Thought Police towards the beginning of the novel, Orwell penned the following quote in 1984:
"Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by the telescreen; moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was, of course, no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork."
Here, Winston Smith, the main character, is considering how careful he has to be to avoid his speech being picked up by the telescreen. He thinks that if he stays out of its field of vision that he can avoid being seen as well. In this quote, Smith also notes how he could be under observation at any time. No one has any idea when they’re being observed. It was “guesswork” trying to figure out who was being watched when. But, it is safest to assume everyone is being watched all the time.
Thoughtcrime
Throughtcrime a term used throughout Orwell’s 1984. It is defined as thoughts that go against the political ideology of the Party. Even if someone leaves these thoughts unspoken, it is still a crime to think them. It is one of the scariest parts of Winston Smith’s world in 1984. The person who thinks these thoughts is held responsible for them as though they said them out loud or committed the act they were thinking about.
When thinking about thoughtcrime, Smith notes that it:
"was not a thing that could be concealed for ever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you"
And O’Brien notes that:
“Thoughtcrime does not entail death, thoughtcrime IS death.”
The term is part of Newspeak, the language used by Party members throughout the novel. Every edition of the Newspeak dictionary removes more words, compressing them. Ideally, the novel implies, once complete, there are going to be very few things anyone can think about outside what the Party desires. This is going to whittle down the possibilities of ever committing thoughtcrime.
"The term “thoughtcrime” is used to describe a thought that’s antithetical to the Party’s teachings and beliefs. For example, if one felt sexual desire towards another person, thought something negative about Big Brother, doubted Oceania’s war, and more. Winston Smith repetitively commits thoughtcrime throughout the novel and works hard to try to keep it from showing on his face. "
Two Minutes Hate
In George Orwell’s iconic novel 1984, the Party subjects its citizens to a daily ritual known as the Two Minutes Hate. This Orwellian concept has become synonymous with the novel’s oppressive and totalitarian regime.
The Two Minutes Hate is one of the best-remembered and often-referenced sections of the novel. It’s shocking for any first-time reader the way that the quiet and depressing Records Department transforms into a passionate mob when stimulated with the right imagery on the telescreen.
The Two Minutes Hate is a daily ritual practiced in George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984. It is a period of intense hatred and contempt directed towards the Party’s enemy, Emmanuel Goldstein, and his teachings.
The Two Minutes Hate is organized by the government and held wherever citizens are working. Everyone is expected to vocally express their hatred for the enemy by shouting, cursing, and spitting at a two-minute video projected onto a large screen.
This ritual is part of the government’s effort to maintain control over its citizens and keep them in line with its goals. During the Two Minutes Hate, citizens are encouraged to express their hate as vigorously and strongly as possible. This hate is meant to be a rallying cry for the people to fight against the enemies of the Party and to remain loyal to the government.
The first mention of the “two minutes hate” in 1984 is found on page 13. Winston describes what it’s like to work in the Records Department when the Two Minutes Hate occurs. Everyone drags their chairs to the center of the room opposite a large television or telescreen. Everyone is expected to take their place at “eleven hundred” hours. Orwell wrote:
"Winston was just taking his place in one of the middle rows when two people whom he knew by sight, but had never spoken to, came unexpectedly into the room."
The importance of this first example of the Two Minutes Hate corresponds with the first time that Winston Smith sees Julia, the young woman with whom he’s destined to start an illegal affair.
Four Ministries
Ingsoc advocates for the organisation of four ministries, collaborating with each other as tools of control. Here are the four ministries set by the chain of command and control:
Ministry of Love
The Ministry of Love (Newspeak: Miniluv) is the ministry that deals with personal relationships, surveillance and police, perverting them into tools of control. The name also has falsifications because it completely contradicts any personal relationship rather than with Big Brother, uses extensive surveillance tactics to abolish any privacy, and uses police brutality and torture sometimes with Room 101 to create an atmosphere of fear and repression where any sign of dissent is punished severely, making dissenters mentally and emotionally vulnerable, reinforcing its oppressive policies. However the name is also apt because true love is redefined as love only to Big Brother.
Ministry of Truth
The Ministry of Truth (Newspeak: Minitrue), directly supporting the Ministry of Love is the ministry that deals with television networks, mass media and news, also perverting them into tools of control. The name has falsifications because it rewrites historical information to fit into the Party’s narrative, and uses expressive propaganda to create an atmosphere where the Party is always right and invincible, preventing people from questioning the Party’s status. However you could argue that the name is also apt because with Newspeak and Doublethink redefines truth as entirely the Party’s doctrine.
Ministry of Plenty
The Ministry of Plenty (Newspeak: Miniplenty) is the ministry that deals with the economy, food and resources, perverting them into tools of control. The name has falsifications because it extensively cuts resources and food, from the populace, just keeping them alive enough to work, but not enough to think, to question because weaker people are easier to manipulate and control and hold dependent while redirecting those resources to the elite, where they live in excess and luxuries. However, the name is also apt because it falsifies economic data to look like the rations do bring abundance and stability, creating an atmosphere of prosperity and plenty to the populace while the reality outside the atmosphere is poverty and inequality.
Ministry of Peace
The Ministry of Peace (Newspeak: Minipax) is the ministry that deals with the military, immigration and external relations, perverting them into tools of control. The name has falsifications because it actively engages in everlasting conflict, sometimes committing war crimes, false-flag operations and manipulative tactics while perverting the war itself into a tool of control, distracting the populace away from internal conflicts with an atmosphere of external conflicts. However, the name is also apt because the war is everlasting and “keeps the peace”, because it doesn’t matter which side wins, as long as it is used as a tool of control. It also justifies the Ministry of Plenty’s rations because they divert resources away from the populace and redirects the resources to the military and the elite and also keeps the populace clinging the party for safety and stability.
Personality
IngSoc is a malevolent and power-hungry individual seeking to exert his will across everything in existence. IngSoc generally acts without showing much emotion and has a cold and clinical manner of speaking. The only exceptions are when he is talking about Big Brother, in which case he will be somewhat enthusiastic.
Like in 1984, IngSoc will constantly rewrite facts, even doing so mid-sentence at times. In many cases, IngSoc genuinely believes in the lies and contradictions he makes up, a consequence of Doublethink (see Further Reading for more information).
IngSoc has no tolerance for dissent in others. Should any character contradict him or slight him in any way, IngSoc will unperson the offender (causing them to instantly fade out and everyone would forget about them). Commenting on the disappearance of said individuals will also result in being unpersoned.
IngSoc can also appear acceptable and benevolent, as a normal patriot in order to hide his true feelings. He then selectively quotes other polcompballs in order to reinforce his agenda.
Stylistic Notes
- IngSoc always has one eye and is the only Polcompball to have a pupil.
- IngSoc should talk preferably in Newspeak.
- IngSoc often takes a Big Brother-esque role in comics but is by no means limited to it.
- The red V-shape must reach the outline at all three vertices.
- Using 1984 references is encouraged.

How to Draw
IngSoc's Design is based on the Ingsoc flag used in the film. But simplified to its core parts; The red "V" and the black background. IngSoc has a single eye with a pupil, as a reference to 1984 book covers, which tend to feature a single eye.
- Draw a ball outline in black.
- Fill the ball in with a lighter shade of black.
- Draw a large V-shape with a darkish red and fill it in.
- Draw one (American) football-shaped eye, add a pupil, and you're done!

Relations
Big Brother
Autocracy - Big Brother above all!
Cultism - Big Brother is our guide, who can save us from enemies worldwide, with the Ministries keeping us in line!
The Inner Party
Hive-Mind Collectivism - Controlling every deed and every thought is doubleplusgood.
Kraterocracy - The sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless is doubleplusgood.
Neo-Bolshevism - Eurasia has always been our ally, we have always been at war with Eastasia.
We are practically no different from each other; it doesn’t matter which side wins - as I use this war as a tool of control.Death Worship - Eastasia has always been our ally, we have always been at war with Eurasia.
Same as above.Totalitarianism - Big Brother's omnipresence must penetrate every thought of every citizen. Yet, despite this pervasive vigilance, I seek an even greater dominion. Absolute control is the ultimate aspiration.
Authoritarianism - Adhering to Big Brother’s will is unequivocally doubleplusgood. But your laxity towards my principles is teetering dangerously on the precipice of minarchism.
Particracy - The Party would like to remind you that...
Tetrarchy - Big Brother is assisted by the four ministries.
Miniluv - The Thought police is doubleplusgood.
Minipax - War is Peace.
Minitrue - Newspeak is doubleplusgood.
Miniplenty - Poverty is Prosperity.
Horseshoe Centrism - Doublethink is doubleplusgood and mandatory. The same has always been the opposite.
Kleptocracy - Corruption efficiently rectifies resource allocation for the Party's new directive.
Republicanism - The Party would like to remind you that the House of Windsor has never existed.
Pan-Nationalism - Pan-Oceanism (duh) and Pan-Americanism combined are doubleplusgood.
Anti-Realism - Nothing is real unless the Party says it is.
Patriotism - All citizens of Oceania know that we shall meet devotion with Oceania, the greatest nation in the world!
Imperialism - Sweet victory to all citizens of Oceania, who under the direction of Big Brother have spread IngSoc to the Americas, South Africa, and Australasia from the Airstrips!
Cultural Nationalism - There is only one culture in Oceania - the one the Party dictates.
Machiavellianism - The Party does anything required to hold onto power.
Regulationism - Every aspect of life is regulated by the Party bureaucracy.
State Capitalism - Doubleplusgood economic system.
Industrialism - Time for another three-year plan!
Progressive Conservatism - There is no past and no future, only an eternal present.
Protectionism - Foreign products are forbidden in Oceania.
The Outer Party and Proles
Juche - You may be somewhat closer to Death Worship, but still oneplusgood.
I might be in a similar situation to you.Dengism - Same as above but more minarchist.
Fascism - All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state. But you are too soft.
Hindutva - Also too soft and closer to death worship, but has a doubleplusgood caste system.
Nazism - Showed me that fear is the best way to seize doubleplustotalitarian control. But too close to Neo-Bolshevism. And there is no race, only the hierarchy the party decides.
Marxism-Leninism - Showed me how a socialist revolution is the best way to seize doubleplustotalitarian control. His Stalinist period (1924-1953) is somewhat close to how I operate, but even that is far removed from the doubleplustotalitarian state that I am. Believing that he is closely related to me is thoughtcrime since he is closer to Neo-Bolshevism.
Hoxhaism - Similar to
Marxism-Leninism, but isolationist.
Barracks Communism - Also close to Neo-Bolshevism.
National Bolshevism and
Strasserism - "The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end."
Democratic Socialism - Thanks for the inspiration for the logo! And for the idea of who to impersonate to achieve power. But the DSA never existed.
Fordism - Fellow
dystopianutopian ideology, but drugs are doubleplusungood. Also, you like orgies and sex, which is doubleplusungood.Pinochetism - Taught me how to secretively unperson my adversaries, or as he insists upon calling it, disappear my adversaries. That said, institutions not controlled by Big Brother are thoughtcrime, so come join me in Room 101.
State Liberalism - Unpersoning bigots is doubleplusgood, but you have the same issues as
him
Neoconservatism - Same issues as above but controlling the Americas (at least indirectly) Airstrip One and Oceania, five eyes surveillance, sending those who oppose you to CIA, ASIS, and MI6 black sites, influencing parts of the media to serve your interests so you can keep the West to favor you and forever wars, is oneplusgood. But you lack the will to create a true one-party system and directly control the Americas. My Room 101 is gonna make your Guantanamo Bay prison look like a luxury palace.
Anarcho-Totalitarianism - You took "freedom is slavery" way too literally.
Revolutionary Progressivism - Erasing all traces of the past so no one will even remember it ever existed is doubleplusgood. But seeking a future other than this one is doubleplusungood. There is no past nor future. Only an eternal present...
Labourism,
Fabian Socialism and
Third Way - A useful mask before takeover. But the Labor party never existed.
Agorism - Black market economies are doubleplusgood, but anarchism never existed.
Socialism and
State Socialism - Ingsoc is the only true socialism, others never existed.
Kakistocracy and
Apoliticism - Doubleplusgood model proles. But the Party is all-knowing and always political.
Scientocracy and
Technocracy - While Party scientists are needed to achieve goals like abolishing the orgasm, any non-Party sanctioned science is a thoughtcrime.
British Fascism - Fellow Airstrip Oneite totalitarian ideology, and some theorize I am you. However, dividing the population in any way other than the Inner Party, Outer Party, and Proles is a thoughtcrime. And Oswald Mosley never existed.
American Model - My anthem is named after one of your songs and Oceania uses dollars. However, the United States never existed.
Blanquism - The only way to true socialism is control by a small few, but power is the end, not the means.
Feminism - Women being allowed into the workplace is doubleplusgood, but sex-positivity is thoughtcrime.
Illuminatism - Establishing doubleplustotalitarian control, erasing the past, and controlling what is considered truth is doubleplusbased. But why rule from the shadows when you can rule directly? Also, Adam Weishaupt never existed.
Illiberal Democracy - Ingsoc is simultaneously the only true democracy and an alternative to the degenerate ideology of democracy.
State Atheism - All traditional religions never existed, but there is no God but Big Brother.
Reactionary Socialism and
Yellow Socialism - Hierarchical socialism is doubleplusbased, and
Fitzhugh was the closest thing to an IRL believer of "freedom is slavery", but the past never existed.
Unpersons and Crimethinkers
Goldsteinism - THE TRAITOR TO THE REVOLUTION AND THE INSPIRATION FOR ALL CRIMETHINKERS!
He is just my creation, which I use to divert the public's gaze, force wrongthinkers into the open, and strengthen my hold on power.Neo-Bolshevism - We have always been at war with Eurasia, Eastasia has always been our ally.
Death Worship - We have always been at war with Eastasia, Eurasia has always been our ally.
Utopian Socialism - "Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined."
- "American" Unideologies - The party would like to remind you that the "United States" has never existed, and that there are only Thirteen Sectors.
- "Irish" Unideologies - The party would like to remind you that "Ireland" never existed, and that there is only Airstrip 2.
- Unideology - The Party would like to remind you that this ideology has never existed.

- ↑ Not only did he completely end individual freedoms, but he also tried to make people worship him as a god, in addition to banning words and making propaganda similar to the Orwellian dystopia.
- ↑ there is obvious similarities between Moropolis and IngSoc, Dr Morocco’s face plastered everywhere to remind everyone he’s watching using is Morbots, citizens trained to out others, the citizens living in poverty and even some modified language, this definitely has parallels with George Orwell’s 1984.
