Most writers pen their thought that way nowadays - with either sad bitterness or extreme rawness.
They strip life naked and leave it exposed without comment s. Their personal commentary must stay concealed. They denounce the Party one day and cajole it on the next for that same purpose. The rule of this system is in order for one to be nominated to a management position or for he himself to buy his way into a lucrative position, he must first be a member of the Party. The truth is even though they despise the Party, they still joined it to advance to the next rung and receive the attached benefit.
