1984, Chapter Twenty One

Another horrifying Chapter in which Winston endures further interrogation in the Ministry of Love.
O'Brien describes the philosophy and ultimate purpose of the party, which he describes as a boot stomping on a human face forever.
The individual is but a cell of the overall body of party and may achieve immortality by sacrificing individualism to the collective, eternal party.
In O'Brien"s description, there is no future or past, no objective reality at all outside of the human mind.
As we finish 1984, I intend to begin reading a book by G.K. Chesterton in which he details the traditional English ideal of a thriving society and the degradation that ensues upon the integration of a progressive ideology.
