The social criticism in george orwell'S 1984

Party to prisoners It cannot longer think clearly. 
.... O‘Brien would say: that the Party did not seek power for its own ends, 
but only for the good of the majority. That it sought power because men in 
the mass were frail, cowardly creatures who could not endure liberty or face 
the truth, and must be ruled over and systematically deceived by others who 
were stronger than themselves (Orwell, 1961:262). 
Initially they said that the Party uses its power for the good and the interest 
of the majority, but at the last Party emphasizes that the majority of the intended 
concern of the Party's good and not the other to interested.

The choice for mankind lay between freedom and happiness we better. That 
the Party was the eternal guardian of the week, a dedicated sack doing evil 
that good might come, sacrificing its own happiness to that others(Orwell, 
1961:262). 
It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not 
interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not 
wealth of luxury or long life or happiness; only power, pure power (Orwell, 
1961:263). 
It said that the Party will do anything to achieve its interests; the object of a 
thing is itself, as O'Brien said: 
The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The 
object of power is power(Orwell, 1961:263). 
Through the Party telescreen composed the past and the future, the past was 
what the Party wants. It did not hard for the Party to make their version past. 
The mutability of the past is the central tenet of Ingsoc. 
...., that the past is whatever the Party chooses to make it (Orwell, 
1961:213). 
There are so many telescreens uses to the Party, other than as a detector, 
recorder, telescreencan also broadcast the party's draft reports on the state of the 
Oceania government in the form of an announcement. 
Inside the flat a fruity voice was reading out a list of figures which had 
something to do with the production of pig iron. The voice came from an 
oblong metal plaque like a dulled mirror which formed part of the surface of 
the right-hand wall. Winston turned a switch and the voice sank somewhat, 
though the words were still distinguishable. The instrument (the telescreen, 
it was called) could be dimmed, but there was no way of shutting it off 
completely(Orwell, 1961:2). 
As though in confirmation of this, a trumpet is call floated from the 
telescreen just above their heads. However, it was not the proclamation of a

military victory this time, but merely an announcement from the Ministry of 
Plenty (Orwell, 1961:57). 
..... The remoter noises and was listening to the stuff that streamed out of the 
telescreen. It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big 
Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only 
yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was being 
reduced to twenty grams a week (Orwell, 1961:58). 
In addition, totalitarian government systems also control the community to 
loved Big Brother and hatedof the Big Brother dissidents. The greatest enemy of 
the Party is Emmanuel Goldstein, who is described as the greatest criminal who 
seeks to overthrow Big Brother from his power. To overcome that, the Party 
created the program Two Minutes Hate in raising public support to believe that 
Goldstein is country criminals. The Two Minutes Hate program itself features 
some evidences of Goldstein's crime, everything related to crime and criminal 
action are the action of Goldstein along with his underground movement called 
the Brotherhood. 
As usual, the face of Emmanuel Goldstein, the enemy of the people, had 
flashed onto the screen. There were hisses here and there among the 
audience. The little sandy-haired woman gave a squeak of mingled fear and 
disgust (Orwell, 1961: 11). 
The program of the Two Minutes Hate varied from day to day, but there was 
none in which Goldstein was not the principal figure. He was the primal 
traitor, the earliest defiler of the party‘s purity. All subsequent crimes 
against the party, all treacheries, acts of sabotage, heresies, deviations, 
sprang directly out of his teaching (Orwell, 1961:12). 
It will be a world of terror as much as a world of triumph. The more the
