dystopia books

Recently I read something about politics, including those famous but deported poets and writers in Russia, documentaries about demonstrations in China, and also some films of dystopia.

Many renowned poets and writers were deported in Soviet Union. They are considered as dissenters at the time of Soviet Union. Deport of dissent artists is an unique feature in the history of arts of Russia. Most of their writing are fierce critics of autocracy of Soviet Union. Solzhenitsyn, the conscience of the Russian people, is one of them in the 20th century. The Gulag Archipelago is a elaborate writing about labor camp in Soviet Union. I have to say, if I have time to read this great novel, I can debunk the mystery of its equivalents in China. I think this kind of device is very common in eastern autocratic countries. Actually, I know some Chinese books are forbidden in mainland. I can't say these books are all the truth, but they definitely include some kind of facts which government don't want citizens to know.

What's the most ironical thing is that, as a persistent defender of democracy and human rights, the United States became notorious for its oversea prison and all kinds of atrocity against so-called terrorist whom they alleged. A documentary "The Road to Guantanamo" revealed the illegal detention and brutal mistreatment imposed on three British muslin who was going to Afghanistan to provide humanistic help for refugees. It is obvious that those claimed themselves human rights defenders adopted double standard on behalf of themselves. Maybe their thinking is: all people are equal, but we are more equal than others. I don't mean to justify similar issues in China by scorning other countries. All those kind of issues are equally unreasonable and should be abolished.

I recommend some books which are often called political fables to everyone who want to understand politics in depth.

I gave video links of the three books here:
1. Fahrenheit 451
2. 1984
3. Animal farm
