" They blackmail , forge , corrupt children and extort in the name of spreading their ways from generation to generation. "

@TheEternalAnglo @Hoss @MelGibsonafter4Beers @krang Deus Ex got pretty close. So did Idiocracy. Brazil (the movie) was probably the closest.
The problem has always been that authors always steer clear of the obvious racial and spiritual issues that guide a lot of government policy, so you can't describe a dystopia or, for that matter, a utopia accurately.
How can you describe America or Australia's problems without describing Black/Aboriginal related violence or Jewish financial meddling?

@Hoss @MelGibsonafter4Beers @krang I don't think there has ever been a work of fiction that could portray the dystopia we're tumbling towards. You'd need a venn diagram of lots of different works to really pin it down.

1984's dystopia is unironically preferable to the Brave New World-style dystopia we're headed towards.

@krang " INGSOC , " is never clearly defined ideologically but it's portrayal was said to influenced by " English Style Socialism " .

@MelGibsonafter4Beers @krang INGSOC was an amalgam of Fascism, Communism, and Capitalism, though much of the book was inspired by Orwell's experiences in both war time Britain and the Spanish civil war.
