Have you ever been afraid of the government? Did you know that when the government first started, it started with noble objectives? Men wanted to take their destinies into their hands. They wanted organization, security, and freedom from suppression. That is why they started a system of government. During the stone age, man lived on what he could gather from the wild. Surviving on one's wit is very difficult and dangerous. By coming together to form communities and associations, they could pool their talents. Hence was government formed.
A few narcissistic and power-hungry men learned how to manipulate people. They devised a system called politics. From politics came several philosophies about how to carry out rulership. The dominant political systems today are democracy and communism. These systems never became the el dorado for their citizens. These power-hungry men used people as slaves. They learned how to control others.
With this realization, George Orwell set out to write his novel "1984." He wanted to use the novel to help people understand when and how their freedom was being taken away. But the conspiracy by the government did not end there.
Big business and multinational companies came into the game. They learned how to fund political parties and lobby the government for profit. This partnership between politicians and big business produced Big Brother.
Big Brother is a system where one man is at the top, controlling people and manipulating its citizens. They do the bidding of Big Brother and his agents. They do not know they are under his control. People love the narcissistic Big Brother.
That was the situation in Russia after the Russian Revolution. Stalin came into power through that revolution. The situation made George Orwell write his novel, 1984. But his message resonates down to our day.
