There are fundamental philosophical differences between 1984 and Brave New World. 1984 envisions a world of relentless and brutal totalitarianism. BNW sees a populace lulled into permanent inaction by drugs.

 

Orwell is commenting on contemporary events in Soviet Russia. But Huxley is the revelator of the end result of government control and is ultimately more telling, given our current events. Interestingly, Huxley’s view of the future is rather consistent with the Eloi in HG Wells’ The Time Machine. Both Huxley and Wells were close to Anglo Establishment thinking, where Orwell was an outsider.

Certainly Metropolis is important but, like Orwell, Lang is giving a warning.

 

Huxley is much more sinister, as he shows (and current events show) just how easy it is to manipulate the masses with medication, and one could add: toxicity in the basic necessities of food, air, and water.

 

No room for complacency at all. We have been warned. The method has been revealed. We hear, learn, and act, or we’re utterly fucked.

Dan is reliant on Faux for regular mainstream visibility. He’s also got some Bush/Cheney-era NeoCon blindspots.

 

Heart’s probably in the right place, but he’s not going to take extravagant risks.
