Thank you Andrey. The north american cyber-socialist elites have lived
in comfort and safety so long that they cannot imagine the Stalinist world
they praise and which they would force upon us in the name of bettering the
human condition. Changing the world with a minimum of human misery is a
good deal harder than changing a car from righthand to left hand drive. It
is also so typical of this mind-set to see human affairs in mechanistic
terms. To them, we are all just bits of machinery to be rearranged -- a
view not unlike that of the gangester capitalist bosses they despise.
