Fictional Totalitarian Slogan/Motto?
I'm writing a fictional novel and I need help coming up with these kinds of slogans. Some examples of these include, 1984's "Big Brother is Watching," The Hunger Game's"may the odds be ever in your favor" and Divergent's "faction before blood." The name of the country in the novel is Deliv, and I was thinking "In Deliv we trust, in Deliv we fight, in Deliv we serve." I know it's not very original or memorable so I was wondering if you can help me with some of these. Thank you.

What are some cool slogans that totalitarian regimes have used to help the masses gain appreciation for the virtues of hard labor?
Don't gossipVigilance!No!Have you volunteered?To have more, must produce moreTo produce more, must know morewant to look like this? Exercise!Enemies are sly - stay alert!
During the State of the Union speech, Democrats sat stone faced and did not applaud for low/black Hispanic unemployment, 2.4 million jobs created, bonuses, wages raising, “In God We Trust”, fully secured borders, and merit based immigration. Why not?
They were pouting. Despite the rhetoric and the absurd “Russia collusion” conspiracy theory, they know they're f***ed. Trump has dominated year 1 and crushed the speech.Don't let them fool you: Democrat office-holders aren't quite as delusional as their base. They push it, but they're not the addicts - they're the money makers… but know that their time as secular nobility is coming to an end.Nancy Pelosi is a perfect avatar for her party - she looks like a corpse. The DNC has $400k in its coffers right now. That's 400,000, at least two zeroes short of where they need to be. No bueno.They know Trump was right about all his boasting. He threw miles of shade at Obama without mentioning his name once (though, if I recall correctly, he did mention his predecessor's eponymous disaster of a healthcare program). They knew Trump filled the chamber with energy and hit homerun after homerun with the “common folk” he highlighted in the audience; live especially, but those at home too.They can keep up the front in their comfortable setting, with reporters cheering them on and asking them the questions they want. But, in this setting, they were helpless and couldn't deny their new reality. They just had to sit there and take it for 80 minutes.Worst of all, Trump hijacked their only legitimate policy positions: infrastructure, opioids, immigration, even freaking maternity leave!The Democrats are out of ideas, out of money, and out of power. They have no leadership and no prospects to take over. They had a half dozen rebuttals lined up because, if they couldn't compete on quality, at least they could throw quantity out there.We're left with a few striking images, from President Trump applauding to the CBC pouting at the prospect of the lowest black unemployment rate ever. But there are two to highlight:Above image: The HillBelow image: The New York TimesJuxtaposed, we see the smug, petulant resignation of Democrat elites vs the exultant celebration of triumphant perseverance and will.Ji Seong Ho literally had his legs cut out underneath him, and here he stands, a defector from totalitarian socialism, reborn and held up as an example by the leader of the free world. An outsider, alongside war heroes, a cast away infant, and his own family. The applause is not just for him, but for all with him, all of us, and our country.An iconic image and a poignant metaphor.
