<h2>Syme</h2>
<p>
No no sillyo. I am not talking about revolution vs reform. Talking about
something quite different. There is the stereotype common people who
willingly uphold the power are stupid. The idea is anyone who can reason
would conclude the power is a purely narcissist force who only aim for
control. Stereotypes indeed rarely if ever hold up when put to the test and
this is no exception. In a quite well known book there is a character named
Syme. Syme is one of the people behind creating newspeak. Syme is a very
intelligent person and sees right through the party yet he is one of the
most orthodox and loyal followers of the party. He constantly talks about
how his work is helping the party limit the range of thought. With every
cell in his body he supports and actively contributes to a system that only
aims to control him. The party ends up vaporizing him for knowing too much
even though he was one of the most loyal and orthodox person around.

<h2>Where is the totalitarianism?</h2>
<p>
The conclusion of many more traditionalist beliefs in theory seems to be
totalitarianism as we know it. Traditional has a prerendered concept of
what society should look like and demands it conforms to that shape no
matter what. It demands leaders who have these views ingrained into them
and demands power gets exercised to enforce this image. Laws exist only
for the reason of upholding this image. To pass bills the only available
framework is arguing for how it will contribute to upholding the image. How
come is it that the traditionalists would bother to even make pricy jails
when their supporters would be perfectly happy shooting the unemployed? Go
ahead and search up morals. Morals has a quite bending meaning as it only
aims to define what is right and wrong in the context of any given
system. So many people who bluntly only support the demands of
traditionalist at the same time will preach freedoms and liberties. These
freedom and liberties seem to fundamentally clash with everything
traditionalism stands for.
