Thesis
In George Orwell's novel, //1984//, he characterizes the authoritative Big Brother and his party with consideration of the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Coming out of an era which was previously marked by war, traits of Nazism can also be found in Big Brother's party. Even today, subtle traces of techniques for govermental regulation which were used so long ago exist and are detrimental to the personal freedoms of our society.

Party Critique

Producers' Note
We are critics of "The Party" and of all forms of strict government control/ regulation, we drew some connections between "The Party" and Nazism and Russian communism, as well as with our own form of government -- the democratic and republican parties. Our views on the way these governments are run vary in the way other people view them. These governments have turned the world into a place where people cannot make their own decisions. People have to follow strict rules, and processes of how they run their lives. They are not allowed to do anything that would upset big brother, or the rest of the people for that matter. The Nazi party has turned their government into a government just like the government in George Orwell’s novel 1984. It is as if George Orwell was predicting waht the future forms of government would be like. Russian Communism also has followed George Orwell’s form of government. They use the tactics, and security breaches that are mentioned in the novel. They invade people’s privacy in order to try and make their form of government work. Joseph Stalin was the leader of the communist party that tried to take over, and control people and they way they thought. Joseph Stalin is in many ways the same person as Big Brother. His communist look on life was starting to work up until people noticed that communism was not a good way to run a government. Stalin was a leader much like Adolph Hitler, his views, and wants for government were very much the same. The rules that Joseph Stalin ran his government by were very strict, and if someone was caught breaking them there would be huge consequences. Because his rules were so strict his government did not work out. In the United States today many people think that our government, country, and most of all, our president are beginning to follow in the footsteps of big brother. There are increasing breaches of private property, security, and citizen’s rights. People phones are being tapped, there are security cameras everywhere you turn, and the government is starting to be run like Big Brothers government. George Bush is the person behind all of this. He is turning into a big brother himself. He wants people to share all of the views that he has, and wants the government run the way he wants it. Many people feel that Bush is running the country wrong, and that his views are somewhat communist.
