From: Randall Parker 

I want to emphasize this particular section that addresses Bill Lucy's
comment especially:

In , note these
cogitations from rgparker{at}west.net Randall Parker:
> O'Brien's re-education of Winston in 1984 went to the heart of
> such invasiveness. "We are not content with negative obedience.... When
> finally you surrender to us, it must be of your own free will." The
> Party wanted not to destroy the heretic but to "capture his inner
mind."
> Where others were content to command "Thou shalt not" or
"Thou shalt,"
> O'Brien explains, "Our command is `Thou art.'" To reach that end
> requires "learning... understanding [and] acceptance," and the
> realization that one has no control even over one's inner soul.
