"1984" by George Orwell.

Key tenets include:

  1. Big Brother Is Watching You: This is the omnipresent government surveillance.

  2. War Is Peace: This paradoxical slogan highlights the manipulation of truth.

  3. Freedom Is Slavery: Suggests that individual freedom is an illusion.

  4. Ignorance Is Strength: Encourages the populace to accept false narratives.

  5. Thoughtcrime: The idea that thinking against the Party is criminal.

  6. Doublethink: Holding two contradictory beliefs simultaneously.

  7. Newspeak: Language designed to limit freedom of thought.

  8. The Party's absolute control over truth and reality.

Seems like a how to guide for the right imo.
