This tactic has proved probably the most effective out of the previous mentioned. Unlike Hitler who was only in power a short period before loosing control of his newly created empire to the United States and the Soviet Union, Stalin held his red Russia with an iron fist for close to a half of a century. When he died, efforts were taken to try and de-Stalinize the country through deregulation and de-nationalizing of certain industries; yet, his influence would continue on with future Soviet dictators. Stalin capitalized on the fear his actions and policies evoked, forever becoming the true face of fear in Communist Russia. And so, within the context of the iron rule of totalitarianism, Hitler and Stalin implemented unique and powerful strategies to encourage the submission of their citizens and the position of fear as seen in the eyes of their enemies. Although both regimes ultimately fell, the two dictators themselves proved to use these strategies to such a powerful...
For the balanced benefit of global politics, let's hope that no one person can harness such techniques as efficiently as seen in the case of Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany and Joseph Stalin's Soviet Russia.

The argument that this is both a conscious and accidental program of influential individuals and organizations carried out through the procedure of reification of philosophical beliefs which are misshapen into institutions, services, technologies policies and in the end, culture.

Nature.... General Will The ideas to create just and liberal society go all the way back to ancient times. The first examples of civil society were proposed by Plato and Aristotle, who saw the ideal state to be a republic ruled by the wise men and aristocrats as "first among equal." They didn't go in depth to explain its structure, functions of government in details, etc. These were the first
1984 by George OrwellSome critics have called 1984 a how-to manual for totalitarianism�and it is certainly true that the book represents quite well a totalitarian government assisted by technological advancements in control of human society.

Power and the Use of Language, Orwell's 1984 And Beyond George Orwell's 1949 dystopian novel 1984 has become almost iconoclastic in its meaning for contemporary society.
