Ingsoc

(The Party has instructed the author to remind you that War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength. Big Brother is always watching you.)

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. 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 more statist  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 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 about both. An example is "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 on the Ingsoc flag used in the film. But simplified to its 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 in black.
 * 2) Fill the 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 (American) football-shaped eye, add a pupil, and you're done!

The Inner Party

 * [[File:Auto.png]] Autocracy - Big Brother above all!
 * [[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:Totalitarian.png]] Totalitarianism - Similar to me but he is basically a minarchist compared to me, Big Brother must be on every citizen's mind.
 * [[File:Sec.png]] Authoritarianism - Obeying Big Brother is doubleplusgood. Although your leniency with my ideals is bordering on full-on anarchism.
 * [[File:Parti.png]] Particracy - The party would like to remind you...
 * [[File:PolState.png]] Miniluv - The Thought Police is doubleplusgood.
 * [[File:Strato.png]] Minipax - War is peace.
 * [[File:Mediastocracy flair.png]] Minitrue - Newspeak is doubleplusgood.
 * [[File:Caste.png]] Miniplenty - Poverty is prosperity.
 * [[File:Horshu.png]] Horseshoe Centrism - Doublethink is doubleplusgood.
 * [[File:Mansphere.png]] Manosphere - You want state-mandated gfs and justify your ideology using doublethink, both are doubleplusgood.

The Outer Party

 * [[File: necrocracy.png]] Necrocracy [[File:Necro-ghost.png]] - Big Brother is neither dead or alive. You remind me of Death Worship though.
 * [[File:Juche.png]] Juche - You may be somewhat closer to Death Worship, but still quite plusgood.
 * [[File:Dengf.png]] Dengism - Same as above but more minarchist.
 * [[File:Fash.png]] Fascism - All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state. But you are too soft.
 * [[File:Polpot.png]] Pol Potism - Showed the proles that they didn't need their glasses, but he is too idiotic and fell easily, while the party is all-knowing and has always ruled.
 * [[File:Nazbol.png]] National Bolshevism - The best of National Socialism and Marxism–Leninism. Basically just another Minarchist version of myself.
 * [[File:Nazi.png]] National Socialism - Showed me that fear is the best way to seize doubleplustotalitarian control. But as above he is a borderline anarchist which is double-plus ungood.
 * [[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 is 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:Ford.png]] Fordism - Fellow dystopian utopian ideology, but drugs are bad. Also you like orgies and sex, which is doublepluscringe.
 * [[File:Pinochet-hat.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 are thoughtcrime, so come join me in Room 101.
 * [[File:Statlib.png]] State Liberalism - Unpersoning bigots are doubleplusgood, but they have the same issues as [[File:Pinochet-hat.png]] him
 * [[File:Necon.png]] Neoconservatism - Same issues as above but uniting all the West, five eyes surveillance, kidnapping people into CIA black sites who oppose you, influencing parts of the media to serve your interests so you can keep the West to favor you, forever wars, I'm actually impressed. But you don't have the balls to create a true one-party system and directly control the Americas.
 * [[File:Antot.png]] Anarcho-Totalitarianism - You took "freedom is slavery" too literally.
 * [[File:Ultraprogressivism.png]] Revolutionary Progressivism - Erasing all traces of the past so no one will even remember it ever existed is doubleplusgood. But seeking a future other than this one is doubleplusungood. There is no past nor future. Only an eternal present...
 * [[File:Hmind.png]] Hive-Mind Collectivism - Controlling every mind is doubleplusgood, but opposing hierarchies is doubleplusungood.
 * [[File:Krater.png]] Kraterocracy - Eternal conquest is doubleplusgood, but rejecting non-physical control is doubleplusungood.

Unpersons

 * [[File: Trot.png]] Goldsteinism - THE TRAITOR TO THE REVOLUTION AND THE INSPIRATION FOR ALL UNPERSONS!
 * [[File:Neobol.png]] Neo-Bolshevism - We have always been at war with Eurasia, Eastasia has always been our ally.
 * [[File:OOTS.png]] Death Worship - We have always been at war with Eastasia, Eurasia has always been our ally.
