I'd dissagree, however. The World State was an example of dehumanization: cutting out emotions, the need for human interaction, and any chance for personal choice. If the right censors take power (none of them are going to, other than the wrong ones) we would end up in a world where love is joy and life is a celebration of the Glory of God. Even if they did take power, actually none of this would happen, because there would be rebellions everywhere. The world is degenerate and will never reach any perfect ideal (by human means) without eliminating humanity.
