1984
I wonder if the leftists know that Orwell meant 1984 as a warning and not a guide book. Here’s a couple of quotes from that timeless book.
“The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power.”
“Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.”
“Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power”
So thus is an introduction to wisdom, that is to understand the power of the state is only for its own benefit. Freedom of thought, speech, property and religion are the only stumbling blocks to totalitarians. These control freaks are your enemy; they just seem like friends because they have a knack for getting people all excited about silly issues. That dedication to the elite will remain. When the freebies run out they have scapegoats lined up to heap the blame on. Right now we have the internet so the truth can be found. But that little man in the white house is giving control of the internet to the U.N. Russia and others are already planning a system like China has. Then the following quote from 1984 will make sense.
“For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable – what then?”
