One of the great tragedies is that people don't understand just how deep the concepts in 1984 go. It's not just "censorship bad", but there's a ton of discussion of the underlaying principals. Daily hates to keep people focused on one random enemy at a time, torture to get people to reject their own reality for what is fed to them, in Fahrenheit 451 it wasn't illegal for books to exist but people would gleefully run and dump their own and their neighbor's books out on the lawn for people to blaze em up, and they surrounded themselves with wall to wall tv's to blare out any thought.
That's a big part of it: we will make you into a willing participant in your own indoctrination (and of course in the indoctrination of others).
But of course that could never happen here.
