Same. It’s great as a horror book, especially to young readers.
When I read it as a youth it really destabilized my concept of government. It’s not permanent and people can get desperate and give themselves to fanaticism. Even regular people can decide to give fascism a try.

They’ll be lucky to find 50,000 quality male soldiers or hunters in that group. Conscripts are going to fold and rout at the first sign of trouble. So I wonder how this propaganda is supposed to work.
