In my eyes I believe that a society based on hate will not survive. throughout history there have been many societies that tried to be based on hate: for example, nazi germany, north korea, the KKK. Winston says that a society based on hate "would have no vitality. It would disintegrate. It would commit suicide" (Orwell 231).
O'Brien says "Old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love or justice. Ours is founded upon hatred. In our world there will be no emotions except fear and rage" (Orwell 230). Here O'Brien implies that their society will survive because they are not founded on love like old civilizations that eventually disappeared. We believe that a society based on hate can survive, just like Oceania has survived for many years. O'Brien is correct in saying that a hate-based society can survive, except that he forgot to mention that this society meet one requirement: It must be an isolated community. Oceania is a hate-based society that meets this requirement by being isolated from Eastasia and Eurasia, this isolation will allow for the society of Oceania to survive. 1984 by George Orwell

The Ku Klux Klan, the Nazi Party, and the Al-Qaeda organization prove the existence and possibility of such societies. The daily mail reporter said in an article named 'How North Korean children are taught to hate the US' that, "North Korean students learn that their country has had two main enemies: the Japanese and the U.S., which fought against North Korea during the 1950-53 Korean War". North Korea is the perfect example of a modern society based on hate for the US and the Japanese that survives to this day. The reason for its lasting success is due to its
So the KKK was formed from those that wanted to keep the black man in his place. In Tennessee in 1866 men gathered to express these ideas. Groups started in several places in the state. Finally in 1867 in Nashville the KKK adopted their name and became an organization. Nathan Forrest was the first Grand Wizard. He had been an outstanding
The society Winston and Julia live in in 1984 is a society based on hate. The evidence to back that up would include O’Brien, at the end of the novel, telling Winston there is
This started “the rise of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) it grew more during the beginning of the 20th century. It was a “secret terrorist organization founded the Reconstruction” (Sonneborn 14).
The Ku Klux Klan flourished in the South at the beginning of the Reconstruction succeeding the Civil War. There remained numerous ex-Confederates that were still strongly opposed to the Reconstruction and sought to preserve white supremacy in the South. Directly after the Civil War the government in the South was weak and vulnerable. The Ku Klux Klan leveraged this and used violence and threats to try to reestablish white supremacy. They were most successful in playing upon fears and superstitions. They not only brought terror to the black communities but they also targeted carpetbaggers and scalawags. They used these threats and fears in effectively keeping the blacks away from the polls so that the ex-Confederates could gain back political control in the
The Ku Klux Klan was a secret terrorist organization that was created by six well educated Confederate veterans in Pulaski, Tennessee in the December of 1865. Their main objective was to restore white supremacy through acts of violence such as murder, against both Black and White Republicans. The KKK had eventually spread to every southern state, and Klansmen would often terrorize republicans regardless of their race. Members of the KKK believed that African Americans were inferior to Whites and did not believe that Blacks deserved equal rights. Although the rebel groups were outlawed and made illegal, many of them remained in existence and appeared after the reconstruction had ended. This proved the Reconstruction to be ineffective as many Southerners were still fighting against the government and opposed them. In addition, African Americans were still deprived of their rights by these

This turn to violence was how the first Ku Klux Klan rose. The Klan was formed by six ex-Confederate Veterans in Pulaski, Tennessee, this organization started off small but began absorbing most of the other anti-Reconstruction groups in the south, like the Men of Justice, the Pale Faces, the Constitutional Union Guards, the White Brotherhood, and the Order of the White Rose (Infoplease.com). The Ku Klux Klan was created in fear of an insurrection by the ex-slaves, now the freedmen. The most recognized founder of the Klan was Nathan Bedford Forrest. Their white robes and masks are supposed to be a representation of ex-Confederate soldiers who died during the civil war. One of the Klan’s biggest goal was keeping the freedmen away from the voting polls to assure the success of ex-Confederates in gaining back their political control in many states. In 1871, President Grant took an aim at the Klan for their interference in black suffrage but by this time the support for Reconstruction was beginning to diminish because racism was still very much alive in both the north and the south. As time progressed the Democrats regained control of the House of Representatives. The democrats waged a campaign of violence to take control of Mississippi to which President Grant responded with a refusal of federal troop intervention which ended support of the Reconstruction era. In the election of 1876, Republican, Rutherford B. Haynes, reached a compromise with
The KKK was made up of “first class men”(Colby 513), which showed the amount of money and power the south had. The KKK got away with murder in the south while intimidating the northerners, and people who wanted to end slavery. They uses intimidation to the republicans and supporters to gain political power, as why the south is responsible for the end of
The group known as the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was first founded in 1866. The KKK was organized by white supremacist to go against the Republicans Reconstruction-era policies. The members of the group formed in the southern states. They met secretly and formed a campaign to intimidate and use violent acts of discrimination towards both white and black Republican leaders. The Ku Klux Klan had laws passed against them, to stop there acts of injustice, which was considered terrorism. The Ku Klux Klan was a group that formed three times, and had different phases. The reformatted in the early 20th century, and came back stronger than the were before. They held rallies, burned homes and people, burnt crosses, and held marches against immigrants and other religions. Another phase was after the Civil Rights movement in the 1960’s the activity was very violent
The Klu Klux Klan was formed in 1866 by a group of Confederate soldiers in Pulaski, Tennessee. It was a social club or fraternity for the veterans but later had different views and became a terrorist group (PBS). The name of the group came from the Greek word “kyklos” meaning circle and then they added Klan to make the name flow (History.com Staff). It did not start with the thought of malicious activity. They would have secret meetings and elaborate ceremonies to discuss how they could stop reconstruction after the civil war. The members would wear white sheets that covered their whole body and pointy white caps to make them appear taller. This was an all white group and ended up being one of the deadliest terrorist groups (EyeWitness to History). General Nathan Bedford Forrest was the Klu Klux Klan’s first “grand wizard,” also known as
The KKK was originally founded as a social club for past Confederate soldiers. In 1865, the KKK grew into a terrorist association. The KKK had racist activity in the form of riots in the South aiming directly at the blacks but also targeted the Republicans. The KKK killed 46 people, wounded 70 and a large quantity of churches and schools were burned.

The KKK started on Christmas Eve in the year of 1866 in Pulaski, Tennessee when a group of Confederate soldiers formed the first branch.

Propaganda that’s is used is “War is peace, Freedom is slavery, Ignorance is strength” (Orwell). Propaganda is something that is used to make people think they live in a utopia. While the people of Oceania believe they live in a utopia and follow what everyone else says they will keep living in an illusion of this society. The cycle will never stop unless someone is willing to call it out. So in our society the many form of utopia always are thrown in our faces. We never stop seeing it so everything has become the norm to us. It will never stop being show to us unless the world goes into an apocalypse. Even then in an apocalypse outburst shown in T.V shows and movies we can still live in a dystopian society.
