  • Essay / The Dangers of Totalitarianism - 1577

    An unknown Russian once said: “Every culture has its distinctive and normal system of government. Your democracy is moderated by corruption. Ours is totalitarianism moderated by assassination. » Although the totalitarian movement was widely adopted in the early 1950s, shortly after World War II. The term was initially proposed to describe fascist and communist regimes. This dictatorial regime cannot recognize its aims and no country should be allowed to adopt the citizens' meeting described in Orwell's 1984 book. It was a warning to Western nations. Orwell supported Marxist theory and appreciated socialism because he was primarily concerned with individual freedom and the provocation of communist ideas; even though he didn't know how to deal with the rise of communism. Orwell saw how much the totalitarian governments of Spain and Russia relied on them to maintain and increase their power. He was very disturbed by the widespread brutality and oppression in these communist countries. They are preoccupied with an ideology that creates terror and dominates all mass communications, cannot recognize their goals because they have the power to match their goal and have erased the past life. They also used secret executions, opposition strategy, propaganda, and invasion of privacy to maintain power. A surveillance camera is installed in almost every room. Regimes like this control the armed forces and the economy. This regime eventually collapses because it is led by a single charismatic leader who clings to power at all costs. This creates chaos, poor living conditions and drains state resources. People in power acquired wealth and ordinary people sold their labor. Orwell lived in the middle of paper ...... politics of the collapse of the communist regime. “The Center of Moscow was no longer holding, the whole edifice of fear and lies was exhausted, the police were no longer ready to shoot” (Steven, Myers). Provided good ethical standards can be upheld, the future generation will not have to fear the intuition of 1984. ReferencesClaypool, Jane (1984).
