Ingsoc

English Socialism, most known by its clipping Ingsoc and alternatively as Orwellianism, is a "doubleplus" totalitarian ideology based on George Orwell's classic novel 1984, inhabiting an AuthUnity area outside the Political Compass. IngSoc has instructed the author to remind you that War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength. Big Brother is watching you. He is most often described as "the apex of totalitarianism", in which the state has complete control over the individual.

History
English novelist George Orwell wrote fiction that heavily criticized totalitarianism. A democratic socialist, he feared that  Socialist movements in the United Kingdom would ultimately turn into a totalitarian society governed entirely by a single party and ideology. He published Nineteen Eighty-Four in 1949 and created the English Socialist Party, or Ingsoc, as an example of this, showing the consequences of unhinged government surveillance, endless war, and propaganda.

Party Policy
IngSoc in the book used various means to get the people of Oceania under control, such as:

Newspeak
Newspeak is the official language of the Oceanian State. It is an extremely simplified version of the English Language, which within Newspeak is referred to as Oldspeak. The Purpose of Newspeak is the elimination of any and all nuance from the English Language as to make anyone who speaks in this new version of English could only think as the party dictates.

Newspeak is primarily made up of clippings of oldspeak words, with an example being the party's name "Ingsoc" and the names of ministries of the oceanian state (minitrue, miniluv, miniplenty and minipax), a reference to political and bureaucratic jargon of the USSR (Politburo, Comintern, Gulag, etc.) and also of Nazi Germany (Gestapo, Nazi, etc.).

Newspeak was a criticism of the tendency within the English language to become more and more simplified in such a way that nuance is removed from the language, something Orwell also talked about in his essay Politics and the English Language.

Doublethink
Doublethink is the state of believing 2 completely contradictory terms at the same time with complete certainty to both. With an example being "We have always been at war with Eurasia, Eastasia was always our ally and we have always been at war with Eastasia, Eurasia was always our ally". Doublethink is based on the various ideological contradictions totalitarian states would go to, to achieve their political goals. For example the way that in Nazi Germany the enemy was portrayed as both inferior to the Germans, yet also as controlling the entire world from the shadows.

Personality
IngSoc is a malevolent and power-hungry individual seeking to exert his will across everything in existence. IngSoc generally acts without showing much emotion and has a cold and clinical manner of speaking. The only exceptions are when he is talking about Big Brother, in which case he will be somewhat enthusiastic.

Like in 1984, IngSoc will constantly rewrite facts, even doing so mid-sentence at times. In many cases, IngSoc genuinely believes in the lies and contradictions he makes up, a consequence of Doublethink (see Further Reading for more information).

IngSoc has no tolerance for dissent in others. Should any character contradict him or slight him in any way, IngSoc will 'vaporize' the offender and they will become unpersoned. Commenting on the disappearance of said individuals will also result in being unpersoned.

Stylistic Notes

 * IngSoc always has one eye and is the only Polcompball to have a pupil.
 * IngSoc should talk preferably in Newspeak.
 * IngSoc often takes a Big Brother-esque role in comics, but is by no means limited to it.
 * The red V-shape must reach the outline at all three vertices.
 * Using 1984 references is encouraged.

How to Draw
Ingsoc_flag.svg IngSoc's Design is based of the Ingsoc flag used in the film. But simplified to it's core parts; The red "V" and the black background. IngSoc has a single eye with a pupil, as a reference to 1984 book covers, which tend to feature a single eye.
 * 1) Draw a ball outline with black.
 * 2) Fill ball in with a lighter shade of black.
 * 3) Draw a large V-shape with a darkish red and fill it in.
 * 4) Draw one football-shaped eye, add a pupil, and you're done!

The Inner Party

 * [[File:Ford.png]] Fordism - Fellow doubleplusgood dystopian ideology.
 * [[File:Illum.png]] Illuminatism - I created him to ensure that the conditions necessary for me to exist are always met.
 * [[File:Neobol.png]] Neo-Bolshevism - Eurasia has always been our ally, we have always been at war with Eastasia.
 * [[File:OOTS.png]] Death Worship - Eastasia has always been our ally, we have always been at war with Eurasia.
 * [[File:Sec.png]] Authoritarianism - Obeying Big Brother is doubleplusgood.
 * [[File:Totalitarian.png]] Totalitarianism - Big Brother must be on every citizen's mind.
 * [[File:Parti.png]] Particracy - The party would like to remind you...

The Outer Party
money and credit, also doubleplusgood your faith is only in the facts that you yourself wrote. But "freedom of expession" - manifestation og crimethink. What do you mean by "Party has not invented planes"?!
 * [[File:Horshu.png]] Horseshoe Centrism - Doubleplusgood doublethink.
 * [[File: necrocracy.png]] Necrocracy [[File:Necro-ghost.png]] - Big Brother is neither dead or alive.
 * [[File:Juche.png]] Juche - My comparatively libertarian counterpart.
 * [[File:Polpot.png]] Pol Potism - Showed the proles that they didn't need their glasses.
 * [[File:Nazbol.png]] National Bolshevism - The best of National Socialism and Marxism–Leninism.
 * [[File:Nazi.png]] National Socialism - Showed me that fear is the best way to seize doubleplustotalitarian control. He could be more totalitarian, however.
 * [[File:ML.png]] Marxism–Leninism - Showed me how a socialist revolution is the best way to seize doubleplustotalitarian control. His Stalinist period (1922-1953) is somewhat close to how I operate, but even that is far removed from the doubleplustotalitarian state that I am. Believing that he closely related to me is thoughtcrime.
 * [[File:Dsa.png]] Democratic Socialism - Thanks for the inspiration for the logo, comrade! And for the idea of who to impersonate in order to achieve power. Unfortunately, you have outlived your usefulness. Come to MINILUV so I can show you how to love Big Brother. Creating me was doubleplusgood too.
 * [[File:Reactsoc.png]] Reactionary Socialism - Opposed to technology and wants a decentralized government, which is doubleplusungood, but wants some form of socialism with hierarchies, which is doubleplusgood. No need for a king, though, when you have Big Brother.
 * [[File:Pinochet.png]] Pinochetism - Taught me how to secretively unperson my adversaries, or as he insists upon calling it, disappear my adversaries. That said, major institutions not controlled by Big Brother is thoughtcrime, so come join me in Room 101.
 * [[File:Lawson.png]] Lawsonomy - I like your desire for control
