What is newspeak?A socialist (or more generally, a person that loves government taxing "the rich" and helping the poor) that doesn't want to identify as such. He or she gets inspiration from George Orwell' 1984 by torturing the language and using a word meaning "free" to hide their authoritarian intents. In the U.S., self-identified liberals are really newspeak liberals as they favor government intervention and collective rights. In Europe, liberals are truer to their origins, i.e. in favor of limited government and individual rights - they would be called libertarian in the U.S. newspeak - meme gifnewspeak - videoNewspeak - what is it?Orwell's faultless 1948 imagination of what the world would become by 1984. A creation of a genius, since it has turned out to be true - look at political correctness! All this bullshit around us. What does "newspeak" mean?Contrived language of Oceania from George Orwell's "1984." It uses many English words, albeit with a greatly simplified vocabulary and sentence structure. The elimination of synonyms and antonyms helped this process. It was created in attempt to influence the thought of Oceania's citizens and make it impossible to express thoughts dangerous to Ingsoc (Newspeak for English Socialism). Today this is recognized as political correctness. Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime IS death. Newspeak - what does it mean?In George Orwell's dystopia "Nineteen Eighty-Four", Newspeak was the corrupted/purged language everyone was supposed to speak according to the totalitarian dictatorship which ran everything. Words with subversive potential and those which had unclear meanings were eliminated, along with references to the past. The attempt was to bring language, and therefore thought, into line with the wishes of the rulers. This doesn't mean you shouldn't make up new words. Nor does it mean that every political or invented word should be suspect. The point is that new words should expand meaning, not contract it. If a word is used to cover up abuses by the powerful or to manipulate people in favour of the existing regime, it's Newspeak.
