I'm reading it for the first time. I haven't finished chapter three yet. Huxley was right about how a totalitarian society would use promiscuity as a weapon of mass control to stop men and women from creating a bond that could oppose the state.
"... it's not as though there were anything painful or disagreeable about having one or two men besides Henry". This is a quote from one of the characters. It sounds exactly like a girl from 2019. Huxley and Orwell thought that you would need a one-world government to destroy the family unit; they were wrong. You only needed a powerful tool of communication such as the internet. Don't be fooled, they didn't give us the internet so that we could be free. No, the internet exists as a tool of mass indoctrination used by those in power.
But why would they want to target the family? why spread promiscuity? everything was done in the name of consumerism. They want people to spend as much money as possible on useless things. They call it " self-improvement. Men have been sold the idea that they need to improve themselves if they want to attract women. Improvement, by their standards, means to spend money on cars, clothes, gym memberships, trips and restaurants etc...
Everything was done to lock you in a perpetual state of unhappiness that would force you to consume more products. In other words, money was the chief cause.
" Stability, insisted the Controller....hence all this". Huxley was wrong. The elite does not give a crap about stability. They will cause hell on Earth if they can profit more. It's all about money. But who are they? who controls the world? the world isn't controlled by a single person, let alone a single group of people. It's controlled by multinational corporations and the families who own them.
A married man in the early 20th century didn't consume much. He probably lived off his land and his children grew up and married in the community. That lifestyle wasn't economically viable according to the big bosses of this world. They needed to sell more. And that's why they encouraged the destruction of marriage and traditionalism and monogamy. Everything has been done to force you to spend money: to consume and consume. That was the goal.
Read the novel, it's a great book.
