In my opinion, the author’s vision is not very powerful /believable. If you think about it, in order for someone to gain this much power, it would have to go unnoticed. Also if they wanted to get people to be loyal to The Party it would require to stop all the rebellions. And with hundreds of millions of human beings, each with different/separate ideas, some speaking different languages, some different races and other unique things, it would be nearly impossible to gain control over such a huge group yet change many of their lives to worse than they were before. This kind of change would not go unnoticed, and it would be stopped before it could go too far. Look at Hitler’s Nazi Germany, and Mussolini’s Fascist Italy. How long did that last? Not very long. Hitler’s cause was quickly seen and rebellion, in a sense, from Britain, Poland, France, the US and other countries rose up to defeat the Nazi movement. I don’t think we have anything to worry about, especially with the U.S. being a world super power and butting into everything whether it includes them or not. The U.S. promotes equal rights for everyone and so something like 1984 happening is not very likely. Yes we are probably watched more as citizens, with the FBI and all the technology that allows it, but that said, we don’t have to worry about something like 1984. There may be more rules/more watching, but that shouldn’t matter if you are a good citizen and follow the laws. Plus if the FBI or the government tried to promote something similar to the thought police, over 300 million people live in the U.S., I believe if something like that happened we would just rebel and stop it from happening.
