Read TYRANTS AND PROPAGANDA, OR THE TOTALITARIAN NEED FOR TOTAL INFORMATION CONTROL by William Maz for what it is like to live in a country ruled by censorship.
In order for totalitarianism to succeed, information needs to be controlled, both internally, and from the outside world. An alternate vision of reality has to be created, and repeated every day, every minute, in various forms, in order for the population to gradually accept their leader and the system under which they live. At the very least, the people have to believe that they cannot change the status quo, that they are helpless. A paralyzing apathy is created.
This is what we want in this country?
