“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”
George Orwell
“…Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed,”
-Sound like the recent past to anyone? They even tried to establish a “Ministry of Truth”., And possibly even an LGBTXYZ Ministry of Love.
Orwell was transcribing the Stalinist playbook. The American Left is a pale shadow of Stalin but they’re trying their best to follow the plan.
Orwell was a great man but not, I suspect, a contented and happy one.
From what I’ve read he had a very strange life.
