Modern America and 1984: An Insight into Totalitarianism Imagine a society in which you have no freedom to exercise your natural rights, but you were safe from all threats (or so you thought) except the government under which you live. This is what Ayn Rand lived through during her youth. Rand grew up during the times of the Russian Revolution and even experienced the horrors that occurred in the Bolshevik Revolution; she experienced the horror of big government first hand.

the people, elect officials to make decisions and rules. The people elect single officials for each state and one to rule everything, the way things are looking, the United States of America, is going from the land of the free, to the land of totalitarianism. Although some people believe our government is on the right tracks others do not. The book 1984 goes into great detail on how George Orwell thought 1984 would be like. Compared to our world now, he was on the right track, just 30 or so years

1984 is a story of what totalitarian governments could possibly become if they were to continue to exist in “modern society”. While the story may have been written as a work of fiction, we currently have the capability to do what the party did in 1984, however on a smaller scale.

Wouldn’t a totalitarian, socialist government that controls every facet of life and watches its people at all times be great? Well, just wait, it’s coming. In his novel 1984, George Orwell gives a glimpse into what a world like that would be through the eyes of Winston Smith.
