    Yep. Basically a religion. Like conservatism and capitalism. They can not fail. Only be failed.

      It really is absurd how the metaphorical party line hasn’t changed in the past 100 years. Everything is preordained, except for anytime our noble forces fail, in which case it’s an aberration and The Conspiracy Of The International Bourgeoisie

        Yep. Theories are a fine thing to have. But you have to test them. And if they fail every time they’re tested then you need new theories. And barring that. The fact that things have changed so much between the time the theories were crafted and now. Large portions certainly are not relevant as they used to be if ever at all.
