Also: there are dozens of other bookstores online.

I don’t need to read it, I’m living it.

If you're interested in this, you MUST watch this literal communist manual that clearly illustrates everything we're seeing in modern society and WHY:

Why does it start with chapter 2?

Like Eustace Mullins said, this was a manual.

From The World Order, by Eustace Mullins, chapter 9 (emphasis added):

[...] George Orwell's book, written In 1949, was thought to be only a warning against what was to come. It was not a warning. "1984" is the Program! Orwell, a lifelong Socialist, fought for many days in the front lines for the Communists in Spain. He was wounded, but this did not lessen his dedication to the goals of World Socialism. The most practical way to achieve these goals was to formulate the program, as Col. House had done in "Philip Dru, Administrator". Orwell laid down the dictum that slogans must be in Newspeak, "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength". This is the program of the hegemony of parasitism through the World Order. Orwell posited three superstates, Eurasia, Oceania, and Eastasia,"permanently at war in one combination or another". He continues,"War, however, is no longer the desperate annihilating struggle that it was in the early decades of the 20th century. It is a warfare of limited aims, between combatants who are unable to destroy one another, have no material cause for fighting, and are not divided by an genuine ideological difference....There is no longer in a material sense anything to fight about., the balance of power will always remain roughly even, and the territory which forms the heartland of each superstate always remains inviolate (NOTE: The present writer has pointed out that the ClA does not commit sabotage in Russia, and the KGB does not commit sabotage in the U.S.)...The primary aim of modern warfare (in accordance with the principle of doublethink, the aim is simultaenously recognized and not recognized by the directing brains of the Party) is to use up the products of the machine without raising the general standard of living....the essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labor. The two aims of the party are to conquer the whole surface of the earth and to extinguish once and for all the possibility of independent thought."

Orwell concludes "1984" with a denial that the victims of the World Order have any hope. He claims the World Order will always triumph, which is a great propaganda achievement for the hegemony of parasitism. He writes, "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face--forever." He disposes of his "hero", a citizen who had vainly tried to oppose the Party, by ending the book with the "hero" whimpering that "He loved Big Brother".

The peoples of the world not only will never love Big Brother, but they will soon dispose of him forever.

Thank you, Conrad!

Awesome! You the real MVP!

Thankyou I'll read now 😁

Waiting on my order to come in. Had my family watch Animal Farm last night. They were impressed how it basically summed up our society now even though it was written in '47
