"Two plus two equals five"

Torture and propaganda was a very important weapon for the Soviets and Stalin, and it was also a big weapon for "the party" in the book 1984 by George Orwell. Stalin used torture and propaganda to put fear in people, and if they didn't obey him they would be tortured just like how Winston was in the book. Stalin also put big posters around everywhere which was part of his propaganda scheme, and in the the book the same tactic was used by Big Brother with the quote "Big Brother Is Watching You" written underneath. This book had glimpses of both Stalin and Hitler, but i chose Stalin because Hitler do not punish his own people unlike Stalin did. Which is exactly what "the party" does to people who want to rebel against them.
