    Although Hitler and Stalin both employed a special police force to help control the country under their totalitarian rule, Hitler’s force relied on having secret police everywhere while Stalin relied on having individuals report their friends and coworkers. To control citizens by spying on them and imprisoning them, Hitler employed the use of the Himmler’s SS and the Gestapo political police. The SS initially started off as Hitler’s personal bodyguards, but under Himmler’s command, they evolved into a more powerful force, who were eventually responsible for the Final Solution. The Gestapo, while somewhat similar to the SS, were Hitler’s secret police, who focused on taking down any opposing political opponents, primarily those who went underground after the creation of the one party system in Germany. The Gestapo were responsible for the capture and imprisonment of most opposing political leaders in Nazi Germany. According to the book on Germany, “Denouncers and…

    Orwell uses literal and figurative ideas and concepts to connect the enemies and “heroes” in Animal Farm to the real humans who took part in the Russian Revolution. By comparing the specific characters like Old Major to Vladimir Lenin it is possible to see the comparisons between something as outlandish like Animal Farm to something as serious as the Russian Revolution. Through satire, the reader can see how ridiculous the Russian Revolution has the potential to seem when it is directly compared to animals who revolt for their rights and take over their farm to run on their…

This is exemplified in the so-called show trials of the late 1930s, where Stalin all but settle any possible competition. Also, Lenin had not been predisposed to forcing Russian peasants to enter collectives. However, Stalin accomplish a ruthless policy of peasant collectivization, and when many peasants resisted, he oversaw a period of intentional starvation that about one million kulak households (some five million people) were deported and never heard from again. On the other hand, Lenin still appreciated Russia as leading an active vanguard in the process towards worldwide communist revolution, whereas Stalin adopted a more pragmatic,…

    I believe that the four main claims in the Israeli Declaration of Independence serve as the basis for Israeli public values. The first claim in the Israeli declaration of independence is that the Israel is the historical homeland of the Jewish people. This goes hand in hand with the second claim that states that Judaism is not a religion, but rather a nation. This second claim is based on the belief that G-d exists but not in regards of religion because religion is only the outcome of a historical process. From the first two claims we can understand that Israel is not just home for Israeli’s…

    What is it that brings all dictators together in comparison? Is it their ruthless actions towards others? Could it be their thirst for power? Or maybe it's the fact that all dictators use others to gain for themselves. "He [Napoleon] would only be too happy to let you make your decisions by yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where would we be?" (Orwell page 50). These examples prove Napoleon, ruler of Animal Farm, and Pol Pot, ruler of Cambodia, are indeed similar.…
