I have been thinking about composing a devil's dictionary for neo marxism.

Just consider the meaning of "doublethink," and all the definitions write themselves and make perfect sense.

Any of you all ever read Pynchon's 2003 intro to 1984?

Doublethink also lies behind the names of the superministries which run things in Oceania - the Ministry of Peace wages war, the Ministry of Truth tells lies, the Ministry of Love tortures and eventually kills anybody whom it deems a threat. If this seems unreasonably perverse, recall that in the present-day United States, few have any problem with a war-making apparatus named "the department of defence," any more than we have saying "department of justice" with a straight face, despite well-documented abuses of human and constitutional rights by its most formidable arm, the FBI. Our nominally free news media are required to present "balanced" coverage, in which every "truth" is immediately neutered by an equal and opposite one. Every day public opinion is the target of rewritten history, official amnesia and outright lying, all of which is benevolently termed "spin," as if it were no more harmful than a ride on a merry-go-round. We know better than what they tell us, yet hope otherwise. We believe and doubt at the same time - it seems a condition of political thought in a modern superstate to be permanently of at least two minds on most issues. Needless to say, this is of inestimable use to those in power who wish to remain there, preferably forever.

It had a real impact on how I read the book, and especially on getting the context and meaning of the appendix.

America already had a financial collapse, it happened in 2008 under Bush Jr.

This one is actually true. We've just papered it over with magic money ever since.

All money is imaginary.

Certainly. It runs on a system of faith. And that faith is being damaged every time you create more of it from your spleen.

Faith is for posers. Science, baby.

So then, you’ve rejected the financial system completely, and built your live around barter?
