The Dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie is quite often ‘brutal’ at times – with the Tyranny being changed every four or five years! Imagine that form of highly exploitative ‘freedom’! We are conditioned to ‘choose’ those who will exploit us – and we are brainwashed to view this as constituting ‘freedom’! One way of breaking up this conditioning is to read widely and open the mind to new experiences and different ways of viewing things! As an English writer once wrote – ‘We read to know we are not alone!’ (attributed to CS Lewis – from his ‘An Experiment in Criticism’)! China – and the Chinese people – have come along way in a very hostile world. As Westerners – if we really believe our civilisation to be of noble stock – then surely we should assist another noble people in a similar way!
