animal farm

George Orwell, the chronicler of the totalitarian systems, wrote Animal Farm is a tale of the beautiful, perfect world in which all are equal. The masses rise up to throw off the oppression of a few, only to find soon after in a new form of terror and bondage again.

There are Lenin, Stalin and Trotsky, which appear in the form of intelligent pigs Major, Napoleon and Snowball, but also with names like Mao, Kim Il-Sung or Ceauşescu is coming from the same initial to the same end, and with names like Hitler, Pinochet of course, even if it were not called revolution.

This makes the Animal Farm a fairy tale that will remain current for just as long, as long as there are dictatorships on earth. But that does not concern us here. You might think! Because totalitarian tendencies, albeit on a modest scale, are everywhere, on every continent, in every country. It is always remain vigilant to us, always make sure that the story can not be turned back.

Animal Farm by George Orwell is a classic of literary history.

Hans-Peter Dürr

He was one of the great thinkers of modern physics. The winner of the Alternative Nobel Prize, has died at the age of 84 years (18 May 2014).

Dared what few of his colleagues dare: over the edge of his discipline think outside even if it touches spiritual and esoteric topics. He wrote for major scientific journals as well as for small spiritual, fearing for his reputation as one of the few students Heisenberg he had not there, he was concerned with the matter, a new, unifying worldview.

Hans-Peter Dürr was a scientist.
