Imagine that - in the late 1960s the annoying Russian dissident Amalrik writes a long essay with the title Will the Soviet Union Survive until 1984! At that point the USSR's grip on its client states throughout the world was, it appeared, total - the Prague Spring has just been flattened with tanks - and the USA appeared to be content with the concept of MAD (remember that? Mutually Assured Destruction. This meant we could sleep safely knowing that they knew as much as we knew that anyone pushing the button first would be evaporated too - if I had had children in those far off days, I would have tucked them up in their beds and said Go to sleep, my pretty ones, you are perfectly safe, our leaders believe in mutually assured destruction... sweet dreams, sweet dreams...). So this breathtakingly presumptuous essay was smuggled westwards and published in Holland in 1970 and all the lefties wagged their heads and snorted derisively. And yes, this essay was wrong, he was out by five years.... So we saw with goggling eyes the vanishing of communism as any kind of viable alternative to capitalism, and now see what's happened to capitalism... not a pretty sight. And now that the roof's fallen in, there's no alternative but to pay the same builders who clearly don't know what they're doing to rebuild the whole house. And now I do have children, I say Go to sleep, my pretty ones, go to sleep....you are quite safe...
