It also granted freedom of religion, abolished serfdom and secularized the state. However, on the less liberal side of the spectrum, workers were denied collective bargaining (Negotiation between workers and their employers to determine wages, hours, rules, and working conditions.), trade unions were outlawed and a system of labor passports was instituted. His incentive for this side of the code was probably to limit political freedom.…

    Khrushchev's Secret Speech

    Khrushchev initially raised hopes of a better political and economic future for the USSR through his secret speech. His shocking condemnation of Stalin’s reign of terror and seemingly more liberal intentions of peaceful co-existence gave the impression of a new, markedly successful era for the USSR. However, these expectations were quickly dashed through a series of counterproductive and unsuccessful policies, most notably his grand but ill-fated agricultural schemes. Khrushchev displayd a refreshing and new approach to politics that came as a jolting shock to those who had spent the twelve years under the rule of the excessively brutal and controlling Stalin. This was particularly evident in his initial secret speech, in which many believed his speaking out against Stalin to be a form of trap for his potential critics.…

    Just as humans, dictators are not born evil but are influenced enough to gain power and abuse it. If one has the power to control all, then they could use it to their own advantage. Stories such as Macbeth by William Shakespeare and Animal Farm by George Orwell illustrate how such characters like Macbeth and Napoleon rise to power to use it for themselves as similarity to dictators like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini. By doing this, dictators blind the eyes of the people by stealing their freedoms through manipulation to gain innate superiority.…

    George Orwell once said “political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable. During times of universal deceit telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.” Communism, on its own, turned it’s back on the soul principles it was once based on. The animals in George Orwell’s book represent that very concept. Joseph Stalin took Karl Marx’s own notion and twisted out of contexts a lot like American media does to public and private affairs.…

    “Napoleon was a large, rather fierce-looking Berkshire boar, the only Berkshire on the farm, not much of a talker, but with a reputation for getting his own way” (Orwell 16). Evidently, this foreshadows the fact that Napoleon, who was rather smart, will make himself dictator and have complete control of the farm by using authoritarian and totalitarian tactics just as Stalin did. Napoleon was extremely thirsty for power and got what he wanted by using terror as well as propaganda that none of the animals on the farm could fight against. He was a stern and harsh boar who manipulated the animals on the farm through cruelty, deception, and treachery to get his ways. It is without a doubt that Napoleon was a dictatorial leader who was obviously…
