Fahrenheit451 (2)

Are there are any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? What are they, and how do they relate? Does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or "fixed"?

Communism of North Korea relates to this novel. We are not allowed to posses or read books in the novel; in North Korea people are not allowed to have religion, phase, and rights. They are educated to worship ‘Kim Jung Il’ as their father. They don’t know if the society phenomenon is right or wrong but just follow. It’s like people think naturally about burning books in the novel.
In the end Montag and his friends build up a new society and I thought this can shed light to North Korea. Unless a brave person comes out to raise a revolution, North Korea would be the same forever.

As you sadi, Northe Korea's government restricts residents' freedom, and people in North Korea think their government is right and follow them. I have answered for this question in the same way.
