A Universe of Show Trials

We have the book 1984 to thank for forever memorializing for us one of the worst aspects of the Maoist and Soviet system - the Show Trial, but especially the climax of most show trials when the accused, often visibly still displaying the marks of the torture that elicited it, makes his "full confession" of his sins against the People and the State. Now, we have a society like that. Biden, Beto and Bloomberg look and sound eerily like those very same forced confessors. Bloomberg once made fun of Beto apologizing for being white and Biden apologizing for, well, pretty well everything he ever did (except of course for making money from his office). Mike did this in March when he explained he would not run because he would then have to make an "apology tour" and publicly repudiate everything he did or said publicly. Well, there he is running after all and telling us that his "stop and frisk" policy as Mayor of New York that saved thousands of young Black and Latino males and made the City one of the safest in the World...was wrong. Sad. Another victory for ignorance and the PC dictatorship. People like Bloomberg would do well to recall that, when the accused in a Show Trial finally made his confession, including 1984's Winston Smith, he was executed by the State anyways.
