【評論內容】 Twentieth-century totalitarian leaders amassedpower on a scale that past emperors could not have imagined. Orwell was among the first tonotice what that meant: “Obedience is not enough. Unless [a citizen] issuffering, how can you be sure that he is obeying your will and not his own?”says O’Brien in “Nineteen Eighty-Four”. “If you want a picture of the future,imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever.” 20 世紀的極權主義領導人以過去的帝王無法想像的規模積累了權力。奧威爾是第一個注意到這意味著什麼的人之一：“服從是不夠的。除非[一個公民]正在受苦，你怎麼能確定他是在服從你的意願而不是他自己的意願？” 奧布萊恩在“十九八十四”中說。“如果你想要一張未來的照片，想像一下人臉上的靴子——永遠。”
