Language and Newspeak

According to Syme, the Ministry of Truth is trying to make the Newspeak language simple by creating new words and destroying old ones. It is an ongoing process that eliminates the need for more complicated and descriptive words. It does, though, make language simpler, but harder to express your thoughts. That's why I don't agree with the Newspeak. There is nothing wrong with Oldspeak and I don't understand why they are even changing it. I guess it's just one more way to control the population. In our language today I wouldn't change anything, but that's probably because I am so used to it. I would not change it in any fundamental way though.
