A new world order is evidently well underway with BRICS and Shanghai
Cooperation Organization (SCO) nations offering ample alternatives to
the hegemonic Collective West.
Authored by Natasha Wright: ‘If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – for ever.’
This is one of the most famous quotations from George Orwell’s 1949 novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four. The
words are spoken by O’Brien, the grand inquisitor of the totalitarian
regime in Orwell’s novel. I don’t think there has been any other author
more quoted as of recent than George Orwell and his 1984 and Animal Farm
(add to the cauldron the quotes by Aldous Huxley in his Brave, new
world).
If we dwell a little more on the issue of
the U.S. global dominance ever since the downfall of Berlin Wall, there
follows a bewildering thought how the USA has managed to establish
global hegemony for so long in such imperceptible shapes and forms? With
a hindsight, an overwhelming number of nations and/or countries have
retreated to a cosy solution to welcoming the U.S. (hegemony) with arms
wide open.
