“Among those who trimmed their political principles after the outbreak of the war was Katusky, who particularly aroused Lenin's ire. 'I hate Katusky and at the moment I despise him more than anyone [he wrote to Shlyapnikov in October]: a beastly, rotten, smug, hypocrite. Oh no, - they say- nothing has happened, no principles have been violated; every one was right in protecting the Fatherland; internationalism (kindly note) consists in the workers of all countries shooting at each other in the name of the "Defence of the Fatherland".”

“No word in the B vocabulary was ideologically neutral. A great many were euphemisms. Such words, for instance, as JOYCAMP (forced-labour camp) or MINIPAX Minis- try of Peace, i.e. Ministry of War) meant almost the exact opposite of what they appeared to mean. Some words, on the other hand, displayed a frank and contemptuous un- derstanding of the real nature of Oceanic society. An example was PROLEFEED, meaning the rubbishy enter- tainment and spurious news which the Party handed out to the masses.”

“The proletariat should not be viewed as a monolithic entity represented by a single party (a la the various currents of Marxism) but rather as a contested body whose unity is contingent on the freedom of its different parts to fight for their interests within it. The fight for women’s liberation or the recognition of the rights of various ethnic groups then are not battles to be put off until after the proletariat seizes power globally, but are necessary precursors to that seizure of power that clarify the revolutionary orientation of the proletariat.”

“El desempleo, para el que no había seguro, era el mal más temido. Ello explicaba que esos obreros, que en la vida cotidiana eran siempre los más tolerantes de los hombres, fuesen siempre xenófobos en cuestiones de trabajo, acusando sucesivamente a los italianos, los españoles, los judíos, los árabes y finalmente la tierra entera, de robarles su empleo -actitud sin duda desconcertante para los intelectuales que escriben sobre la teoría del proletariado, y sin embargo muy humana y muy excusable-. Lo que esos nacionalistas inesperados disputaban a las otras nacionalidades no eran el dominio del mundo o los privilegios del dinero y el ocio, sino el privilegio de la servidumbre.”
