Orwell was an awesome critical thinker. He understood the ideologies behind linguistics. In forensic linguistics we can tell that a historical society lacked a certain belief or even consideration of that belief due to their having no words in their language to identify or describe that belief. In '1984' he introduced the idea of a culture removing words from their society to force them to think along the terms the ruling factor wanted them to. If you have not read '1984' I highly recommend it.
