Oligarchical Collectivism is a political and economic theory that suggests society is controlled by a small elite group, or oligarchy, which maintains power through collective ownership of resources. This concept is often associated with totalitarian regimes, where individual freedoms are suppressed in favor of state control and uniformity. The term is notably used in George Orwell's novel 1984, where the ruling Party manipulates truth and reality to maintain its dominance. In this system, the elite benefit from the collective labor of the masses, while the general population is kept in a state of ignorance and subservience.
