hey chubbs, well, i would take the point of comparing three things.
the historic revisionism done by the bolshiviks.
stalin and then how he killed trotsky and conveniently re-wrote it. the kornstadt uprising and how the bolshivik government re-wrote that to suit.
that would be my first point.
then juxta position that with 1984 and compare.
then, i would pick up howard zinns book, "a peoples history of the united states and compare that to one that you use during high school.
anyway good luck and remember that here it is not omnipotent. because ronald didn't invent the light bulb he is JUST THERE IN FRONT OF YOU!
PS subvert the spectacle.
