I to felt that "It Can't Happen Here" was a good read and should be read to get away from "1984". I to read this book after the Nov. 2016 election. The key difference between ICHH and today, in my opinion, is what was implemented in the book, did so because the majority of the people in the book voted for the President. In our reality, the President lost the popular vote and people took to the streets in protest to show their dislike with whom was elected and a resistance was formed on day 1.

I’m here in 2024. It CAN happen here and it IS happening NOW.

"1984" has been applied too often out of pure ignorence of it's point/message! Animal farm fits dmfp!
Another key difference really is the fact that Windrip had his own private army + the popular support.
Just finished reading this book and it was terrifying 🤤😢
Christina Howell yes, it is.
I found it to be pretty unconvincing.If anything, I finished the book, and thought to myself "yeah, I really don't think it could happen here"
Maybe they use this book as a guide
Could be! Just as 1984 and Brave New World.
And now in the UK we have the same situation
This was excellent. Thank you.
Spoiler alert: it's not about Trump. At all.
it is!
It’s up for interpretation but most people will agree this sums up trump presidency perfectly
The iron heel
Another excellent work. London really nailed it.
John Calvin would agree it is mans fallen nature, thomas Hobbes would also agree, but he was kinda of a fascist
Hobbes ideas could lead to fascism, but understanding human nature easily leads that way when we consider how savage humans are.
maybe you should read the definition of fascism
