From Orwell’s “1984”:
Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes a revolution to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?

Orwell’s predictions, we are finding out with every year that goes by, are way too disturbingly accurate.
In spite of his warnings, and the plentiful examples of every socialist dictatorship in history, we just continue to walk right into it.
