Answer:
government control, conformity, surveillance, propaganda, etc
Explanation:
government control is a popular aspect of dystopian literature because it restricts people and forces them into compliance.
conformity strip people of individualism, as the right to express oneself can be "dangerous" in totalitarian regimes.
surveillance - a good example of this is george orwell's 1984. when being constantly watched by higher-ups, people won't dare to defy or speak against totalitarian governments.
propaganda - "brainwash" people into believing / supporting corrupt governments (only in the realm of dystopian literature. propaganda in the real world isn't always a bad thing)
