Newsweek Magazine: Which country today is most like George Orwell's '1984'?




Turkey!

Turkey is the big winner, according to Newsweek. Not Syria, North Korea, Eritrea, or even Turkmenistan. (Get a load of Turkmenistan's president and his personality cult. He's a winner at oppression, too!)

No, it's Turkey that's living up to the Orwellian horror show, mainly because they're a bit more nuanced.

And that's what you want from your countries winning at fear--a little bit of nuance with that oppression.
