old-time dystopia

COVID FB Post 2020 10 06 A Good Old-Fashion Dystopia
        Give me that Old-Time Dystopia, like Huxley’s Brave New World (1932) or Orwell’s 1984 (1949). These books were quite realistic in imagining the path to a dark future. We see the seeds of such dystopias being sown now.  
        The Brave New World is a world where everyone belongs to everyone else. With no “I” or “Me,” there is only the Greater Good. Here children are moved from cloning in the Central London Hatchery to a Conditioning Centre where they are molded into someone’s ideal of sub-humanity. Like Pavlov’s dog taught to salivate at the ringing of a bell, each child is conditioned as to how to live.
        Our current fear of an exaggerated threat is teaching us to shelter in place and to submit to dehumanizing practices for the Greater Good. That to which we must submit will worsen with each ensuing crisis until we arrive at a Brave New World where safety is assured by the ruling class, and the other 99% love their slavery.
 
        And we have Orwell’s 1984 (1949), a world in which Big Brother monitors everything, the ultimate surveillance state. China is nearing this dystopian state, where 5G enables every action of every citizen to be recorded (the real purpose of 5G), and neighbors turn against neighbors for the Greater Good. Big Brother, like Bill Gates, cares for all of us and loves us all (but he hates God, freedom, and you and me as individuals).
        The underlying question is not so much, “Who are we?” as it is, “Whose are we?” Are we owned by Each Other, or by the Big Brother Government, or by the Actual Creator of all things?

        Thomas More’s Utopia might be better understood if its title were translated. “Utopia” literally translates as “No place,” for such an ideal does not exist.
        We have seen mankind’s efforts at creating an ideal world, a utopia, repeatedly fail and create genuine dystopias instead, as in these examples:
  • The French Revolution gave us the Reign of Terror followed by the dictator, Napoleon;
  • The Russian Revolution continued serfdom for the vast majority and gave us the Gulag, forced labor camps;
  • The Chinese Communists led to starvation under Mao, and now we see a surveillance state and full government control of the economy.
        The American Revolution was one of very few to succeed in providing freedom, even if only for a while. What is our Current Revolution producing?
