Perhaps readers of this thread might find Eugen Richter's satire entitled, "Pictures of the Socialistic Future," to be of interest.
When one looks around at what has happened to America already, and the degree to which the backward "forward" ideas have dimmed the light of liberty which once beamed its rays to oppressed people throughout the world, then Richter's pages take on new meaning.
Click on any of the segments and find something relevant to today's discussions. Please note that this exquisite bit of satire by Richter was written in 1893.
Coincidentally, in "The New Laws" section, he mentions that the "organ" under the new order is called "Onward." How interesting is that?
Had most of us read this writer's work twenty years ago, it might not have the chilling effect it does today. After the last 3 years, however, the descriptions of life in a "socialistic future," as described, even in satirical terms, is current as today's news, and too realistic to be amusing.
Whoa! Thanks for that. How prescient was HE?
