parties said that FREEDOM IS SLAVERY. If the phrase is based on the interpretation of the word, it can be concludes that there is no freedom for Oceania people either freedom from war or the freedom of the society or individuality of the Party rules in writing or not. Finally IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH, this concept is more directed to individual compliance of the Party's punishment, because finding out the Party's fault or in other words, trying to fight the Party is a very mistake and ends in torment. This has caused some Oceania people to swallow up every word of the party, ignoring the truth and burying the curiosity of the truth itself. However, outside the knowledge of Oceania people, Party has its own meaning of the concept of three sentence slogan as well as the following quote: 32 You know the Party slogan ‗Freedom is Slavery.‘ Has it ever occurred to you that it is reversible? Slavery is freedom. Alone—free—the human being is always defeated. It must be so, because every human being is doomed to die, which is the greatest of all failures. But if he can make complete, utter submission, if he can escape from his identity, if he can merge himself in the Party so that he is the Party. Then he is all-powerful and immortal(Orwell, 1961:264). In addition to the three concepts of the slogan, the party arranged everything in Oceania to its pretension. Good thoughts, loved, hatred, laughter and other emotions in the Oceania people are notified by the Party, especially Parties worker, including the Core Party as well as the outside Party are striving to be governed by the power and Party‘s mind. There will be no royalty, except royalty toward the Party. There will be no love, except the love of Big Brother. There will be no laughter, except the laugh of triumph over a defeated enemy. There will be no art, no literature, no science. When we are omnipotent we shall have no more need of science. There will be no distinction between beauty and ugliness. There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed (Orwell, 1961:267). In organizing all government affairs be based on the Party‘s rule, there are four Ministries working in their respective fields: the Ministry of Truth, Ministry of Peace, The Ministry of Love, and the Ministry of Plenty. There were the homes of the four Ministries between which the entire apparatus of government was divided: the Ministry of Truth, which concerned itself with news, entertainment, education, and the fine arts; the Ministry of Peace, which concerned itself with war; the Ministry of Love, which maintained law and order; and the Ministry of Plenty, which was responsible for economic affairs. Their names, in Newspeak: Minitrue, Minipax, Miniluv, and Miniplenty(Orwell, 1961:4). 33 Long time before the ruling party in Oceania, it was recorded in Goldstein‘s book based on the 1984 novel, about the state of Oceania and the former system of government, social circumstances, and the wars of Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia and the Party's problems. The two aims of the Party are to conquer the whole surface of the earth and to extinguish once and for all the possibility of independent thought. There are therefore two great problems which the Party is concerned to solve. One is how to discover, against his will, what another human being is thinking, and the other is how to kill several hundred million people in a few seconds without giving warning beforehand. In so far as scientific research still continues, this is its subject matter(Orwell, 1961:193). It said that Oceania, Eastasia and Eurasiahave their respective philosophy as the basis of government, such as Ingsoc term in Oceania, Neo-Bolshevism in Eurasia and Death-worship in Eastasia. All three of these are almost identical, but with different names, but one thing is certain that these three governmental powers alike applying the totalitarian system of government. In Oceania the prevailing philosophy is called Ingsoc. In Eurasia it is called Neo-Bolshevism, and in Eastasia it is called by a Chinese name usually translated as Death-worship, but perhaps better rendered as Obliteration of the self. The citizen of Oceania is not allowed to know anything of the tensest of the other two philosophies, but he is taught to execrate them as barbarous outrages upon morality and common sense(Orwell, 1961: 197). Actually the three philosophies are barely distinguishable, and the social systems which they support are not distinguishable at all. Everywhere there is the same pyramidal structure, the same worship of a semi divine leader, the same economy existing by and for continuous warfare (Orwell, 1961:197).
