Even though the rewards are pleasing to the ear, the path to achieving the benefits of communism is violent. This idea of ​​strict governance is derived from the Communist Manifesto, a book written by two German economists, Karl Marx and Fredrich Engels, who state that many problems in society are caused by the unequal distribution of wealth. These two believe that “communism does not deprive any man of the ability to appropriate the fruits of his labor. The only thing it deprives him of is the ability to enslave others through such appropriations. » To achieve the goal of happiness and prosperity for all, the boundaries that distinguish rich from poor must be erased. Obviously, the rich will never voluntarily give up their possessions or their status; this is why leading figures must impose equality among citizens. Communism places its citizens, whether rich or working class, into working classes that specify their contribution to the government. With such a balanced distribution of people, individuality is impossible to achieve for a single person. The process of creating communism in a country requires the use of fear tactics in order to homogenize the mentality of the people in order to achieve successful government. Within the ruling class of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), Joseph Stalin, a strict dictator who believed in the rules of communism, achieved the main feat: sowing fear within society. To help reinforce this effect, he created a secret police to silence rebel groups of "Kulaks" as well as several projects to help build his nation. Even though Stalin understood that the demands of communism were similar to those of the successful governments of Gilead and Oceania, it nevertheless brought about its downfall. In Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and George Orwell's 1984, administrations use strategies such as mind manipulation to establish a successful foundation, the outcome of which differs from that of other communist leaders who brought about their own demise. Showing similar characteristics, the governments of the Soviet Union, Gilead in The Handmaid's Tale, and 1984's Oceania all help ensure their government is enforced by creating a special workforce, placing citizens in strictly organized groups and forcing everyone to work for the administration. The men of Gilead created a workforce called the Eye and ranked their women according to their goals..
