I think that the most realistic part of Animal Farm is:

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

Now, I think, we're in this phase.

George Orwell's novel "1984" was to have a warning function for humanity, as a futurological vision she was to present an optional and the most negative scenario of development of totalitarianism, which arose at the beginning of the twentieth century and in the 1930s and if it continued to develop, this could lead to the second half Of the 20th century to the emergence of extremely totalitarian powers, in which almost every citizen was under the full control of the state. Book titled George Orwell's "1984" was supposed to be a visionary warning to humanity against the possible development of totalitarian superpowers, in which the ruling monopartes maintain power through terror within the country and through ongoing wars with other countries to take control over other countries and impose a totalitarian system of power on other countries.

Orwell was warning us about the dangers of government leading towards totalitarianism thus "taking away more and more of people's rights and freedoms". I can attest that living under a military dictatorship is just like that here in Southeast Asia.

George Orwell’s 1984 is a fantastic book. It started out as a pseudo-prophecy, but ended up being quite realistic when it comes to totalitarian regimes of today.

However, I don’t see any similarities with Brazil. Brazil has been a democracy for many years and an example in terms of individual freedom. There are many problems in my country, but totalitarianism isn’t one of them. Regarding Russia and China, things do seem quite different. China has recently inaugurated a social credit system that gives citizens a score according to their level of obedience to the party. In turn, citizens may be granted benefits based on their behaviour or undergo fairly comprehensive sunctions otherwise.

It’s the closest I have seen to Big Brother and Thought Police. Rumour has it Russia is about to follow into China’s footsteps in addition to having banished several religious groups that are theoretically against their regime based on their new extremism laws, which, by no means, would ever surprise me if true. In both of the latter countries there’s only one party and one leader that perpetuates in charge. 1984 should’ve been a warning, but it appears, for some, it’s been quite useful as a manual.

Elaborating from my previous answer, 1984 has proven quite accurate worldwide when it comes to language. In my article Language and Control - Glossopoesis in Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four and Elgin’s Native Tongue, I defend the thesis that in both stories authoritarian leaders intervened in language, modifying it and creating new language in order to gain and maintain control over people. They restrained free speech and conformed public opinion to a desired thinking framework dictated by the ruling elites in a similar way to what political correctness does today.
