Surrealism is always antifascist.

I dunno. Doublethink is pretty surreal, but it supports fascism. If you're just talking about art, I think you could make the case that the Italian Futurists were at least Surrealist-adjacent, and some of them supported fascism.

I'd argue semantically that surrealism is that which lies under reality whereas Doublethink (and other Orwellian language) lies over reality

You may be thinking of 'Pataphysics:

the science of that which is superinduced upon metaphysics, whether within or beyond the latter's limitations, extending as far beyond metaphysics as the latter extends beyond physics

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

'pataphysics is an extension of metaphysics - both of which extend the concept of "that which is beyond"

although connected - surrealism from the French for "under reality" is more about incongruity with what is real, but meta- and 'pata-physics are looking at what is beyond the physical.

Dream-like things like a star with a face are surreal, something like an actual sentient star would be 'pataphysical
