The nature of the ruler-ruled relationship, which we have encountered in many books before, constitutes the main problem of "Nineteen Eighty-Four". The author tries to show us how the form of government he defines as "oligarchic collectivism" pacifies the masses, exploits them, and dominates their consciousness. The administration, which is against science and technological progress, is severing individuals' ties with the outside world and their past more and more every day. Oligarchy, which is a form of government in which a small and privileged minority rules the majority, appears as a new socialism, as it is called in the book, ingsos (English socialism). But this is a socialism that disregards the universal principles of socialism. Therefore, it is possible to talk about neither equality nor freedom. Orwell, like Marx, thinks that hope and salvation lie in the proletarians, and says that the revolution will occur at the stage when this class becomes conscious and organized.
Read “nineteen eighty-four.” Read it and realize how important equality between individuals, freedom, science, awareness, awareness of the reality around us, freedom of thought and speech actually play in our lives.
