Even within the leftist machine, sand has gnawed at all the little wheels of social engineering. And what leftist regime has passed up the opportunity for totalitarianism? I can't think of one. Even in America, liberal agendaniks introduce "big government" solutions to problems only they can see. And whether any
actual problems exist or not, it's a characteristic of expanding administrations that they continue to expand. They are structured that way, initially "just to get the ball rolling" and establish liberal principles in government but once introduced they become very difficult to remove. A new personality turns up after a few years who re-activates the clockwork and it's socialism ahoy once more.
Within minds grown in such a climate, as happened in China a while ago, criticism nevertheless may sprout. The folly of totalitarianism becomes apparent and in the artwork of Hu Ming that folly finds expression as a disintegrating perception of reality.
Or perhaps reality was disintegrating and her perception was intact. But whatever her understanding, clearly the picture shows a tawdry mosaic of ideas bound to fail. Whether socialism is dumped on everyone or reserved for smaller national groups, tawdry and mosaic is all it can ever be. We know that. They know that. Pawns of happenstance remain ignorant I suppose, or are kept ignorant, but facts of reality always intrude. Problematic indeed! And when they intrude into a single mind, honesty compels thought. Perhaps "justice warriors" escape that particular malady but puppet masters know a danger to their ideology when seen.
To quickly pounce to hastily re-glue their tawdry mosaic is the work of an instant, but no amount of glue will hold the crock together forever. And that's a different school of "problematic" altogether! The fact is that uppermost in every leftist heart is destruction. Every regime founded on such ideals, from the French revolution to Ba
’athist socialism in modern Syria, sprouts from and engenders destruction as is blatantly obvious.
Christianity is not like this. Founded on a cohesive message over many centuries the path forward is clear and for secular ideals, to whatever extent they may be realised, that fact is the most problematic of all. Do they really think that by eliminating the very source of morality

.they will construct a more moral reality? Unfortunately, yes, they do! Christians understand this fact and also understand that those who reject morality will never construct anything permanent at all, just as that artist could see in her homeland and as we see crumbling in the world today.
