To flaunt rule 1, good stuff. I would add that the Soviet Lunar analogy neatly segued into the 1984 analogy, which I'd say is the only possible analogy to the Lunars' institutionalization of illusion, muddying of truth and (most importantly) simultaneous belief in contradictory things.

How can you understand the Lunars without knowing about doublethink? Doubleplusgood!
