The idea of confusion benefitting the party is a powerful
one.  The fact that Big Brother and the government of Oceania has helped to construct a
world where contradictions and confusion is dominant helps the party because it helps to
make the party's simplicity a haven for many.  The party is driven to not have any
impediments to their control over the citizens' lives.  This means that everything, even
logic, must come second to the party and the government.  In such a setting, the more
confusion that is present, the greater the willingness to capitulate to the symmetry and
supposed unity that is offered by the Party.  Doublespeak is an example of this.  In
trying to derive slogans that will keep people in check, preventing them from
questioning authority because of confusing them, Doublespeak is a way to ensure complete
obedience.   Think of a parent really confusing a child, or a teacher completely
confounding a student.  In both situations, there is a point where the child or student
will simply be so lost in confusion that their will to resist will disappear and they
can simply "be led.'
