Newspeak is a way of deconstructing the language to a point that no original thought is needed to express your elements of conversation. Instead of "amazing", "incredible", and "scintillating" a Newspeak speaker would use the word "Doubleplusgood" to indicate that something was an exemplified form of "good".
Getting rid of original thought--no books, no debates, no free thought--makes it easy to move into brainwashing and mind control of masses of people.
This is one reason why in governments who attempt to squash Democracy, the first thing the controlling party does is get rid of the teachers and free-thinkers since these are the people who are able to motivate others to stand up for themselves and for what is right.
