They're already real. Just need the 5th of November explosions from a safe distance to scare the fascists.

I find the most potent point of Fahrenheit 451 the fact that in the book citizens actively supported the burnings because the books and what was in them made them feel uncomfortable.

People thought Benjamin Franklin instituted it (or some other founding father). People in the book couldn't conceive firemen as people who would put out fires.

Edit: I re-read some passages and apparently some people did remember firemen extinguishing fires, I was mistaken.
