Quote by: thx1138  I find it amazing that Huxley along with Orwell (1984)
and the men that follow, stated clearly what is happen
now, that foresight still misses so many people today, many
have no idea how old this push to world government
is or how powerful.
H.G. Wells New World Order by H. G. Wells
proposes a collectivist one-world state"' or "new world order"
comprised of "socialist democracies." |
Unfortunately, the speech didn't load (I blame the computer I'm using). Anyway, I consider orwell to basically be a Libertarian Socialist. He was responsible for a quote I've been thinking about
lately: "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face -- for ever."
unfortunately, it's such an apt description of the status quo. To me, it almost seems like states are competing to bring us to that level, and getting enough to applaud along the way.
The anarchist Bakunin had a similar quote regarding the Soviet Union. I'm paraphrasing, but he claimed the Soviets would merely "beat the people with the people's stick."
Still, I doubt this can be established without a direct military confrontation -- especially when confrontation is so deeply rooted in this tradition.
