A Brave New World

What is fascism?
To be completely honest, I had no idea what this word meant until I just looked it up. So I'll try and put together what I learned, but it's probably not going to be the best definition..
But anyway, fascism is a government led by a dictator. If you are under a fascist government, your leader has complete control over what you do or don't do. The dictator isn't always fair ; he is somtimes racist, aggressive and very critical. Even if you don't like your leader, you don't have much of a choice but to listen to him. In a dictatorship, the people have no consent within their government.
Personally, I would hate to have a person who I don't even know control my every move. I believe that each and every human being has an individual part in their society without the influence of others. There has been many dictatorships in history, and most of them have failed (at least the ones I just read about). In America, we practice democracy which is the belief that every U.S. citizen has a voice in government. I think this is the best choice because even if something goes the opposite of what you wanted, you can have a peace of mind knowing that you at least contributed to what you thought was best for our country.
And again, I have no clue what this has to do with the book we're reading, but when I figure out, I'll have to update this :)
