Who Killed the Left?

As a centenary baby, I have been a witness to the limitless ability of the Left to uproot the past and to disseminate its vision through its victims/ideologues in the public education system.  I first read George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984 in 1984.  And I can only agree to the sentiments of the writer of this fine piece in PJ media:  “The Left’s control of culture is so absolute they will promote 1984 without realizing it’s about them.”

It was Orwell who captured the ideological enslavement of his fictional totalitarian state in the party slogan “he who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.”
