- An analysis of the Charter as a form of Oligarchic Acollectivism.
- by Emmanuel Goldstein
-
- The parallels between Autarchy and the form of government
- described in George Orwells 1984 are interesting to say the least.
- These are outlined below for your convenience:
-
- 1. Everybody has an equal opportunity for access to the group
- synergy. As OBrien explains to Winston that entrance to the inner
- party is by exam and not contingent on nepotism or race at all.
-
- 2. There are three social rungs- High, Middle, and Low. Or Blue
- Yellow and Red. Or Inner Party, Outer Party, and Proles.
-
- 3. The top level is subject to frequent upheaval and purges from
- within itself to insure maximum performance.
-
- 4. A primary goal of both the Autarchy and Oceania is to create
- new languages to shape consciousness.
-
- The differences are also instructive:
-
- 1. Autarchy is a form of Oligarchic Acollectivism, that is rule
- of the Inner Party member of themselves and no others. Autarchs
- have no Authority of any kind as Autarchs over any of the other
- Circles.
-
- 2. Ingsoc was a philosophy of reducing the possible combinations
- available to human consciousness through doublethink, while the
- principle of dontjustthink is based on consciousness expansion.
-
- 3. Ingsoc was based on the limitation of all emotions to hate and
- fear, while Autarchy is based on the premise of love which contains
- all other emotions within its scope.
-
- 4. The purges of the Committee Autarchs are self administered
- rather than other administered.
-
- 5. The selection of the Autarchs is by the players of the game who
- are not Autarchs, rather than the other way around.
-
- Sex is peace.
- True Will not Slavery.
- Consciousness is strength.
-
- 7. The newspeak of Ingsoc is predicated on the elimination of
- words, the newspeak of the Autarchy is predicated on the expansion
- of words, alphabets, images, and communications technologies, and
- thereby consciousness.
-
- The purpose behind this Charter is to provide our Game with a set
- of rules. Rules are what make Games possible. Since no form of
- governing is better than the people who live by those rules, our
- energy and attention have been focused almost soley on the
- mechanisms that screen and select people with the inclination
- and/or the ability to rise in rank.
