The worst indecency of the totalitarian mind is that it wants to wipe out all special ties of emotion or allegiance such as might exist between husband and wife or parent and child. These kinds of loyalties threaten the only allegiance considered important, the one owed to Big Brother. It is in this atmosphere, of course, that children willingly denounce their parents to the secret police.
William Kirk Kilpatrick, Psychological Seduction: The Failure of Modern Psychology, pg.127
Totalitarians always use children to unleash evil because everyone else has been around long enough to know exactly how evil begins! Psychopathic murderer Lenin infamously boasted, "Give me four years to teach the children, and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted." Psychopathic murderer Mao taught grade-schoolers to torture their teachers during the Cultural Revolution. Psychopathic murderer Hitler had his innocent-looking yet devilishly dangerous Hitler Youth. Africa's psychopathic warlords have for decades recruited and enslaved child soldiers for their armies. Today, psychopathic Antifa targets adolescents to fill the ranks of its shock troops, not at all different from the get-'em-while-they're-young recruiting strategies of criminal gangs. Whenever and wherever in history young people have been told that they are smarter and more deserving than the older generations living beside them, they have been manipulatively used as a cheap supply of cannon fodder, a means to instigate murder and mayhem, and an army of gullible dopes too unworldly to protest.
J.B. Shurk, Liberate America's Children from Leftism
Totalitarianism will never win in the end—but it can win long enough to destroy a civilization. That is what is ultimately at stake in the fight we are in. We can see today the totalitarian impulse among powerful forces in our politics and culture. We can see it in the rise and imposition of doublethink, and we can see it in the increasing attempt to rewrite our history.
Larry P. Arnn, Orwell’s 1984 and Today.
