[Music] in book 2 chapter 9 of 1984 winston is now in possession of the book Goldstein's manifesto outside banners parades and displays of weapons have worked citizens into a frenzy despite being unaware that the enemy has changed within people are rapidly against them Oceania had been at war with Eurasia but now its East Asia and according to the party it's always been East Asia the revamping of history means overtime work for Winston and he tackles the work with imagination and enthusiasm after six days it's impossible for anyone to prove that the war with Eurasia ever even happened the workers at the Ministry of Truth get the afternoon off Winston goes to the room above the shop and he finally has a chance to read the book the rest of the chapter consists of the contents of gold Singh's manifesto which outlines how the party is structured and how it operates the book ends with the unfinished sentence this motive really consists Winston feels he knows the parties how but not it's why now Goldstein's manifesto doesn't present any hope for a way out or overthrowing the party's regime if anything it makes 1984 even more dystopian it states that the division of people go into low middle and high classes and that it's been that way throughout history and won't ever change the book closely resembles Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto and class struggles and conflicts are inevitable throughout human history it does explain why the party does some things the lives of the low must be crushed so they can't be conscious of anything outside daily lives war must be continuous warfare uses up resources that would otherwise enrich the lives of the people using up resources is key to the party's success if everyone had enough there wouldn't be a division between the classes then there wouldn't be a need for hierarchy and the elite who want power would lose it warfare is also desirable it raises the fever pitch of the public hatred for an enemy and if people live in a constant state of fear they feel the need to trust their leaders more they don't question authority thus keeping the high in power history has to be constantly revised because the party must be seen as omnipotent facts about the past have to keep changing doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously people do this all the time in real life as they evaluate two opposing viewpoints but what's different and doublethink is that a person has to accept both ideas in Oceania people have to rearrange their memories and forget that they have done so even if a person is the only one in the world who knows the truth he or she is not mad sanity Winston decides is not statistical you
