Unbridled Competition.

"Yesterday's uncontested absurdities are tomorrow's incontravertible truths".
This is pretty close to something Ayn Rand said in the seventies.
Trouble is this; in the eighties, when she held sway over entire nations through the shared truths of her ideals, through Ronnie and Maggie and half a hundred others who are now fading from view, the scum was almost brought to a moment of revelation.
Almost.
The British Communist Party dissolved itself.
Almost.(The constituent communists remained).
The Soviet Union became, merely, the repressive Russian Federation(with fawning sympathy shown by the Union's former fellow travellers in the West, except for Leutenant Frank Drebbin) as part of the desperation of quietness which was the crucible of today's counter-revolution.

The fellow travellers all over the West reached their 'epiphany' moment, or rather their pretense at an epiphany moment, when the scales dropped from their eyes and they saw the true awfulness of the breaching of the prison walls and the dazed curiosity of the newly freed slaves, both in the East and the West.
Thankfully (for them) the Chinese oppressors took a big gamble and arrogated some fake outrage to their cause when they used military force to destroy a potential People Power liberation at Tiannenman Square.
Immediately the frightened scions of the former Status Quo were encouraged, and alleged people like Ted Heath flocked to the Red Banner.

Over the years, slowly, timidly, carefully, but steadily, the contras have regained their confidence under cover of lip service.

They would agree absolutely with my opening quote; they have read all the same books we have.
But whereas we see it as a warning, they see it as an operational instruction, even a truth which they must use.
So, the noise surrounding the alleged issue of global warming is controlled minutely to absolutely ensure that the absurdity is uncontested, and lo and behold, a new orthodoxy is being imposed.

Who would have thought that these creatures were so disgustingly corrupt back in the eighties, that they would see our tracts and culture as nothing more than a training ground for their evil ambitions?

Be advised.
They 'no longer sell' this one.
