Fordism describes a society in which a state keeps control not by fear of violent punishment, but by supplying the people with an endless supply of drugs (in the book there is one: Soma), Entertainment (specifically "Feelies") and Sex (Specifically "Orgy Porgies"). All things that might require any sort of duty that goes against how the Fordists keep control (For example, The Family Unit, Religions other than Fordism, Nationalism, Traditional Notions of Decency, etc.) is completely eliminated by the global state social engineering by instilling a hatred to these things to children since an early age and raising them in facilities and born artificially. The ideology is intended to create a society that does not experience any kind of sorrow or hardship but seems to be mainly focused on increasing consumption (of clothes, sports equipment, etc.). The name "Fordism" comes from the religion that the society within the book espouses, which worships Henry Ford as a deity (additionally they worship Sigmund Freud, who they might or might not believe is the same person). Fordism also employs a caste system which includes five main castes (Alpha at the top, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon), where people born in a high caste such as Alphas or Betas are genetically enhanced to be taller, more attractive, and more intelligent, while people born in lower castes are genetically modified to be shorter, less attractive, and less intelligent, and work menial labor jobs. Despite this, however, the people born in the lower castes of Brave New World never have the desire to rebel against the system, as they are easily pacified by entertainment and are genetically made to be obedient.
