I think a very important topic about 1984 that we did not mention was leadership. On page 13, “But what was strange was that although Goldstein was hated and despised by everybody, although every day, and a thousand times a day, on platforms, on the telescreen, in newspaper, in books...in spite of all of this, his influence never seemed to grow less.” It’s very interesting because there is plenty of examples that could be found today. A huge example would be Donald Trump. Many on social media have admitted that they strongly disagree with his ideas, yet they’re the ones who mostly talk about him. Another important thing to think about is, most of America strongly dislikes him and yet he might be our next president. Donald Trump reminds me of Goldstein, however Trump is in the process of becoming a huge leader. 1984 was a great book!
