Methods of Enforcement
1) Police Terror – Police serve to enforce policies. Use
terror, spying, intimidation, and violence to force
obedience.
2) Indoctrination – Instructions in gov. beliefs to mold
minds. Control of education is key. Starts at a young
age.
3) Propaganda/Censorship – Control all media: nothing
is allowed to exist without gov. OK.
4) Religion/Ethnic Persecution – Creates “enemies of the
state” as scapegoats: usually religious or ethnic groups
and subject to terror and violence.
