Ever wondered how and why the party keep control in George Orwell's '1984'? How does the party cement totalitarian rule without the people rising up? In this 13 minute video, Dr Aidan breaks down the how and why of Big Brother's oppressive leadership. Featuring animations that bring the characters and events of the story to life, this video aims to cultivate a deep interest in the book and hopefully to encourage every viewer to go and read the book themselves.

"No one is more a slave than he who thinks he is free when he isn't." - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Thanks for making this video. I've listened to the 1984 audiobook a few times and it's quite terifying in places. The section where Winston is reading Goldstein's book and jumps to the War is Peace section is mind blowing.

You're very welcome - thanks for your comment. Indeed, it is a great book!

"You'll own nothing and be happy" World Economic Forum 2016. They're still trying to make it come to pass.

With all the land being bought up, Hawaii, a lot of the natural land in the United States is bought up, it’s not looking good.

We own nothing, and tell us that we are happy, we only work so that the wealthy can have their luxury. That book is exactly how we are living. The moment we step out of bounds there's prison. They tell us we are free, but we aren't.

Great video with only 8k views. They dont want this out

@tk5800thesecond Год назад

this video really displays Orwells critiques of the soviet union. His Anarchist and socialist positions were at odds with the Stalinistic party line and it inseparable from the book

@bienea2452 Год назад

The longer it take for people to rise up against a corrupt and exploitating government the greater the sacrifice will be in the end to regain freedom.

Thank you for watching. I’m very pleased that you enjoyed it.

One of the most important novels of the 20th century is 1984.

@tvrtkoceric5681 Год назад

1984 wasn't a warning but a blueprint for what is happening to us today , mixed with A Brave New World to create a mixture of those two plus The Truman Show , Groundhog Day and Monty Python's Flying Circus ...

Yes, it’s quite literally UN Agenda 2030. The World Economic Forum loons are a division of the UN loons.

Incredibly useful, thank you

Very glad to hear that.

Absolutely happening nowadays

@Irish130 Год назад

Brave New World next?

@DrAidan Год назад

I will put that on the list.

But were Eastasia and Eurasia separate powers? Was it really 1984? Winston reasoned it must be around 1984 because he remembered the Revolution taking place in his childhood and he remembered being a child in the 1950's. But we know that memory is not "Memorex" it is mailable and changeable. It's possible that Winston could have been born in any decade. He may even have been a child in the 2030's.

So what? It's written as a mostly fictional social commentary. Why is the year important?

“This is like 1984!” Says the person with freedom to say what they want without having it taken down and getting a lobotomy

@WR3ND 6 месяцев назад

Funny you mention that. People have lost a significant portion of their brain capacity on average the world over since the formation of large societies people became dependent on for their survival. watch?v=SOgKwAJdeUc

For now. It's a slippery slope. 20 years ago we weren't constantly being watched. Now we are in the infancy of having all conversations listened too by our phones. The gap between the wealthy and the none wealthy is increasing faster and faster each year. And if you believe in conspiracy theories The Clintons are out there just having people "suicide " themselves as they try to grasp power.

It’s 1983 then 😂

@earlpipe9713 Месяц назад

I've had plenty taken down online, been shadowbanned/throttled/reach-limited on various social media sites. They have no need of such overtly oppressive measures as lobotomies when full spectrum establishment supporting propaganda ensures the masses will never perceive things as they actually are

Explaining the leftist movement to a T

Explaining the leftist, pronoun flippers to a T, and also the right, orange wing nuts.

@Hater20X 3 месяца назад

Literally falling into the trap by blaming the Left or the Right. Its just an enemy to distract you from those who rule over you. If we swap the left wing for Eruasia and The Right wing for Eastasia its literally just the book 1984.

@earlpipe9713 Месяц назад

It's simply autocratic power preservation, playable by any party, left or right
