A proclamation from the Ministry of Truth.

The people that benefited by shrinking the middle class, exporting pollution and slave labor to China, who are employed mindlessly by the bureaucratic state, are vested in an increasingly pointless educational system, involved in a runaway entertainment industry or are otherwise disconnected from real productivity are not just going to go away. They have tremendous power and will use it to maintain their social economic status. Even if that means aligning with "socialists".
