The democratic society’s goal is to fulfill equal freedom for all, but the reality of the situations threatens that fact with the presence of corruption, poverty, and the discrepancy of power between the classes. In the novel Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, the imbalance of power within the totalitarian government controlled caste system exposes the exploitative nature of society, by constructing a stark difference in the classes; to illustrate the struggle of the underprivileged beneath the power of a society concreted in the ideology of capitalist totalitarian. The Caste system within the World state creates a distinct difference in the people, allowing an oppressive drawback for the lower classes. In the World State the Castes

In the World State the conditioning and biological engineering are the highest uses of power to keep the society aligned. The higher classes use of power and science form create a state of being where “slaves do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude” (Iatropoulos 2). Under this servitude come out the capitalist ideals of the powerful, exploiting the oppressed, using them for labor, with no benefit to the victims. The wealthy’s desire for staying at the top creates an immensely controlling regime to enslave the lower class into the machine of society. The thirst for power “of market production in which part of the value of goods produced by the worker is taken away from him and transformed into surplus value, which the capitalist privately appropriates” (Chambre 2), constructs an oppressive state to submit those of lesser fortune to the riches will. Not allowing the laborer social freedoms and a mutual benefit forces the worker to stay within the constructs of the societal machine due to their lack of power. This parasitism relationship between the magnates and the workers is of the higher relying on the lowers production, for which they overbear them due to the lack of financial or humanly beneficial return. Thus, the tyrannical rule of the labor economy becomes the main beneficiary of the oppressive state of …show more content…
Bernard becoming a free man, being “the lone holder of truth, the sole possessor of antagonistic certainty” (Iatropoulos 1), he becomes the enemy of a society like the World State, and faces future horrors. Bernard starts to lean towards realizing the World State’s charade of being beneficial, but instead being an imbalanced hierarchy of power. The society leaves all the freedom at the top with the bloated powerhouses while the very social body that they control “robs individuals of crucial freedoms” (Iatropoulos 2). Freedoms that basic humans have, exemplifying the absence of compassion for life that the society in the Brave New World contains. This lack of basic human rights in pursuit of oppressing freedom is elaborated by a remark of Rudolf Schmerl’s: “What this means to the individual is that current pressures to make him conform will soon develop into pressures to make him uniform; the more uniform the individual members of society the more easily governed the society” (2). The goal of uniformity is most present in the society, as it obtains the eventual end to freedom, thus rendering persecution of said freedoms useless; to ultimately create the perfect world for the opulent minority. Therefore, the effects of a so called perfect world will systematically “override
