Orwell - "the party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command”
Huxley - “the perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of a democracy, but would be basically a prison without walls, in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping. It would essential be a system of slavery where, through consumption of entertainment, the slaves will live their servitude”
I would agree
