disagree with none this except that the theme of the totalitarianism is portrayed as coming from "a leader" which is the hallmark of western propaganda; 84 is far from an accurate portrayal of the chaos and genocide perpetuated by leaderless anarchic democracies - and the psych going on in their peer conformity.

this was the only point i was trying to raise in this thread. BNW comes a bit closer in that the genocide and chaos goes on in the background rather than so overtly under martial dictatorship, but fails to portray the reality by comparison to an earlier work, see img.

My copy of this book is nearly 100yrs old and the one beside it is older still.

my 2nd attempt at a "Shape Of Things To Come was better than 84 and BNW," thread
