This guy named Orwell actually wrote a book about that in 1949
Nineteen Eighty-four | Summary, Characters, Analysis, & Facts | Britannica
Nineteen Eighty-four is a novel by George Orwell published in 1949 as a warning against totalitarianism. Orwell’s chilling dystopia made a deep impression on readers, and his ideas entered mainstream culture in a way achieved by very few books. The novel invented concepts such as Big Brother and...

"The book is set in 1984 in Oceania, one of three perpetually warring totalitarian states (the other two are Eurasia and Eastasia). Oceania is governed by the all-controlling Party, which has brainwashed the population into unthinking obedience to its leader, Big Brother. The Party has created a propagandistic language known as Newspeak, which is designed to limit free thought and promote the Party’s doctrines. Its words include doublethink (belief in contradictory ideas simultaneously), which is reflected in the Party’s slogans: “War is peace,” “Freedom is slavery,” and “Ignorance is strength.” The Party maintains control through the Thought Police and continual surveillance."

Aside from ripping off brave new world, it's kinda like animal farm, all pomp, no circumstance.

classic leftist move "because no one owns anything" right?
"George Orwell identified as a democratic socialist and was committed to leftist politics, although he was critical of certain aspects of left-wing thought and totalitarianism. His works often reflect his opposition to authoritarian regimes and his support for social justice."

They will also throw you in jail for not using the words they want you to use. So basically don't say that or jail! Say this or jail!
