It's an interesting debate.

All totalitarianism seems to have a local cultural flavor. The meeting of the American Nazi party in 1939 at the Garden had a picture of Washington, not Hitler.

For my money, Fahrenheit 451 and Ray Bradbury captures American totalitarianism best. Constant Entertainment devices that completely consume our attention and focus. Not rewriting history, but simply obliterating it on a constant basis using an unanchored narrative based on entertainment.

Bradbury understood the weakness of the American mind in a way the British writers didn't.
