G. Wells and others have been warning us that man is in danger of destroying himself with his own weapons, leaving the ants or some other gregarious species to take over. Anyone who has seen the ruined cities of Germany will find this notion at least thinkable. Nevertheless, looking at the world as a whole, the drift for many decades has been not towards anarchy but towards the reimposition of slavery. We may be heading not for general breakdown but for an epoch as horribly stable as the slave empires of antiquity. James Burnham's theory has been much discussed, but few people have yet considered its ideological implications — that is, the kind of world-view, the kind of beliefs, and the social structure that would probably prevail in a state which was at once unconquerable and in a permanent state of ‘cold war’ with its neighbours” (Orwell, “You and the Atomic Bomb”).]]> 2017-09-26 12:57:33 UTC https://padlet.com/glewis17/LOTFintro/wish/191215266 Propaganda: Living during the Cold War glewis17 https://padlet.com/glewis17/LOTFintro/wish/191216333
