What is the party's motivation

O'brian, in the third chapter, explains that party does not care about the good of the people but they seek power for themselves. The party puts their want for power over happiness and comforts. O'brian tells this to WInston and says, "We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power." This quote reveals the true nature of the party's actions, that they are only to gain power. They strip all people of comforts to keep them in control and because the outer party members are subject to this it shows how the party is depriving itself of luxuries to gain power. This quotes diction reveals malice in the tone of how O'brian speaks, as he focuses on pure power and tells that the party doesn't care about the well being of the people. O'brian explains the future of the party, " There will be no loyalty, except loyalty to the party. There will be no love, except the love of big brother." This quote shows how the party wants total power over everything. They say they are wiping out all the pleasure and joy in life so that there is no chance of opposition from the people, giving them the total power they desire only for themselves.
