Why scare someone so that they will stay in their cage when you can make them forget they are in a cage in the first place? This is what Aldous Huxley realized that Orwell overlooked. Orwell believed that dictators would try to force their people to follow them; Huxley realized that the future belonged to those who could so alter their subject's underlying beliefs that they would
want to follow them. He also realized that social change was the only permanent way to influence individuals. An example of this is the socialist *cough*communist*cough* movement that has influenced America over the past decades. As quoted in the "Naked Communist" by Cleon Skousen, "
Get
control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and
current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers'
associations. Put the party line in textbooks" (take this with a grain of salt but still). Socialism (aka communism) has been pushed in public schools. More importantly, it is the morals that are pushed, instead of pure facts. Another famous communist leader, Mao, also used the school system to solidify his control. For instance, the little children would be told to sit at their empty decks and pray to their respective gods for school supplies. They were then told to look up and see that their desks were empty. Once more, they were told to bow their heads, this time praying to Mao. The teachers would quietly place school supplies on the table. Mao, like all great Communist leaders, influenced the environment, in this case the school system, to hypnotize the loyalty of the individuals.
