  • Politically Manipulated Emotions and Representations of the Enemy
    90 Politically manipulated emotions and representations of the enemy POLITICALLY MANIPULATED EMOTIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS OF THE ENEMY Adrian SOLOMON1 Abstract Both love and hate can be manipulated to the advantage of power, even when the citizens are subjected to poverty and famine. True or forced love is what dictators seek from their subjects, but situations differ a lot: although Ceauşescu’s authoritarianism was inspired by communist China and North Korea, specific details pertaining to Romanian reality and himself distinguish him from Asian dictators. Totalitarian states also need to foster hate against real or invented enemies, and are adept at selecting the types of enemies and hatred that serve their purposes. Keywords: Orwell, dictatorship, famine, forced love, hatred, enemy. 1. Reality versus dystopia Day after day, media around the world speak of Orwellian states, Big Brother, Newspeak, Thought Police, Doublethink and other fictitious topoi extracted from Nineteen Eighty-Four and presented as naked truths, whether the subject is one of poetic creation or one of public concern: from CCTV surveillance in London and the National Security Agency’s spying on both foreign and its own citizens, to architecture in China and legislation in the UK. Needless to say, most of these alarms are not sounded in authoritarian states. Ever since some European countries fell into the totalitarian grip in the first half of the 20th century, and dystopian authors such as Capek, Zamyatin, Aldous Huxley and Orwell invented their own fictional brands of totalitarianism, an answer has been sought to the haunting question: Can reality be as bad as dystopia? A multitude of answers may indeed be obtained by comparing phenomena from both the material and spiritual life, e.g.

However, without adequate enforcement some argue the risk of increasing illicit trade in cheap tobacco makes taxation ineffective. We explore this by testing sub-national variations in the impact of tobacco tax increases from 2009 to 2011, on seven smoking-related diseases in adults in Romania, to see if regions that are prone to cigarette smuggling due to bordering other countries see less benefit.
