#1 Gibbs gets it. Statism, collectivism, socialism, globalism, political correctness and anyone who promotes this tyranny over the rights of the individual are the enemies.

#2 What is socialism beyond an update and re-naming of feudalism? At least with feudalism the hard guy who lived in the castle pretty much laid it out cut and dried. Now we have Orewellian speak where nothing actually means what they say. But for all the talk of justice the destination is just the same...a small coterie of super rich, super privileged, and above the Law and a vast, drone underclass without any available means to rise. Of course, comes the revolution, it will still be fun to see the excess numbers of Commisars getting the bad news.

#3 It's much more Brave New World than 1984, though there are elements of both, plus Animal Farm. We're seeing it in the raw now, where it was hidden before. The Alphas rule, the Betas carry carry out their will, and the Gammas on down work. Everybody who's anybody is drugged. Religion and monogamy have been abolished and sex is purely for pleasure.

Sound familiar?

#4 You got that right. See, according to Cocteau's plan, I'm the enemy. Cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind if guy who wants to sit in a greasy spoon and think, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol. I want to eat bacon, butter and buckets of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in a non-smoking section. I wanna run through the streets naked with green Jello all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to. Okay, pal? I've seen the future, you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sittin' around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake singing "I'm an Oscar-Meyer Wiener". You wanna live on top, you gotta live Cocteau's way. What he wants, when he wants, how he wants. Your other choice: come down here, maybe starve to death.

Edgar Friendly, Demolition Man, 1993.
