+ This book is part of something I call the "read it in high school
+ effect". The best way to keep people brainwashed without causing
+ a uprising is to make them read these kinds of books while at the
+ sametime making sure they dont understand them. High schoolers
+ being forced to read books wait until last second to read it
+ than skim through it carelessly, watch the movie and pretend
+ they read it, flat out dont read it at all, find a article online
+ summarizing it, use chatgpt to do their home work... the only kids
+ who actually do their work correctly in high school are the ones
+ loyal enough to know the truth while still being loyal supporters
+ of our corrupt society just like the inner party members in 1984.
+ Years later no one remembers what they read in high school and
+ only remember what they are told they read. No one wants to reread
+ a book they were forced to read in high school. Lucky for me I was
+ home schooled and got to read it based off actual interest.

+ I know what your about to say "You are a socialist so you clearly
+ didn't understand 1984". I have a quote from 1984 for you
+ "... the Party rejects and vilifies every principle for which the
+ Socialist movement originally stood, and it chooses to do this in
+ the name of Socialism.".

<p>Its a clever little book indeed. Had me laughing the entire time.
Anyways, <b>its not designed to be used entirely as a anti-socialist
