George Orwell isn't the only one to warn us.

In 1972 when A Clockwork Orange came out an English prof told me: 'Zach, in 100 years this movie will be a classic in it's prediction of our future.'

About two years later Anthony Burgess (author of the book) made this assessment:

“The results of a liberal and a fascist are the same. They differ only in their dogma. Their means and ends are hardly distinguishable. The ultimate totalitarian nightmare is liberalism going mad. And there is no cure for the madness.”

I have to admit that I took it with some skepticism. Fifty years later it's pretty clear.
