Even John Paul II, adored by US conservatives, was NOT some advocate of cannibal capitalism. Here's 1981's Laborem Exercens, parts of which would be ridiculed as 'socialism' if uttered by a Democratic politician: (7/n) https://t.co/QwDOsvsJrt

@jasonwblakely It's from William S Burroughs ('Nova Express'). Interestingly, the name of the Pomerantsev book appears in Burroughs as well. Written in the 1960s, but it consistently reminds me of the logic of the current culture war.

@jasonwblakely really telling that the closest parallel to what he is describing here is Philip K Dick's VALIS, which was essentially a gnostic vision (in a very good sci-fi novel) brought on by either long-term stimulant abuse or a psychotic break
