In the book 1984, Winston Smith, a low member of the ruling party, lived and matured with the concept of a totalitarian government. The same totalitarian concept took place in Fascist Italy under the ruling of Benito Mussolini in the early 1900's. Mussolini and Orwell's concepts and ideas intertwined in imagination. They both had the same notion,

Orwell's 1984 resembled a perfect totalitarian society. Outcomes of situations were beyond extreme, unimaginable to the modern day government.

Imagine living in a society in which you are completely restrained from having freedom. Winston lives life in Oceana, a city in London. A "party" that controls everything, such as history and language, continuously watches and controls him. An invented language called newspeak that was force to be used as member's native language. The party believes that newspeak "Prevents political rebellion by eliminating all words related to it." (Internet, Bartleby) "Even thinking rebellious thought is illegal, the worst of all crimes." Telescreens were the eyes of the party, not to mention anywhere

The first technique used was "Psychological Manipulation." Behavior of the members was monitored closely. Every time you turned around or went somewhere you were being constantly reminded that, "Big Brother is watching you" (Orwell 5). Children were inducted into an organization called the "Junior Spies". They were brainwashed and encouraged that it was okay to spy on their parents. When there was disloyalty to the party from adults their children were the most likely ones to submit them to punishment.

From the time of 1922 to 1943 Mussolini had complete totalitarian power. In 1943 King Victor Emmanuel forced Mussolini to resign his power. Italians then, remained backwards and poor due to the deprivation of political liberty and economic advancement.

Mussolini personally took over the ministries of the interior, the foreign affairs, of the colonies, of the corporations, of the army and the other armed services, and of public works. He was also head of the all-powerful Fascist party and the armed Fascist militia. In the way he succeeded in keeping power in his own hand and preventing the emergence of any rival.

Mussolini had the power to organize secret police, the same concept as the thought police. He banned criticism of the government, a form of language as mind control, and he could censure the press, strengthening his position using physical control. Italians were forced to accept the famous slogan; "Everything the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state" (Fresno) Orwell introduced this
