Ideas In Action

One of the ideas gifted to us by George Orwell is the concept of Newspeak.

What is Newspeak?

From my perspective Newspeak is where words are used in opposition of their actual meaning.

Orwell used as a fictional example where the INGSOC party proclaimed that Freedom was Slavery and that War was Peace.  We're seeing this today where those persons who proclaim themselves to be progressive are in fact reactionaries.  The only people who have a valid claim to being progressive are an insurance company.

Those who proclaim themselves to be Liberal are in fact enemies of Liberty.  Those who proclaim themselves to be good guys are in fact bad people.  We saw this historically with the membership of the KKK, the CPSU, the NSDAP, the Khmer Rouge, The BATF, Al Quida, etc.  We're seeing this today with the membership of Anti-Fa and BLM.
