The religious right functions like Emmanuel Goldstein in much of the social liberal rhetoric we hear today.
Except that the religious right is real rather than fictional, an organization rather than an individual, and incredibly politically powerful rather than a fake boogeyman used to scare the masses. But sure, otherwise this is LITERALLY 1984.
Emmanuel Goldstein is real, and could very well lead a powerful organization.
Not that this is relevant, but I love 1984, so I will correct those who don’t get the story right.
