Are we under attack from a bolshevik-style takeover?  The anti-freedom movement seems so pernicious.  Here’s a passage that really resonated from Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago on the invisible hand that works constantly against us:

“This was a grandiose silent game of solitaire, whose rules were totally incomprehensible to its contemporaries, and whose outlines we can appreciate only now. Someone's far-seeing mind, someone's neat hands, planned it all, without letting one wasted minute go by. They picked up a card which had spent three years in one pile and softly placed it on another pile.”

“Patience, overwhelming patience, was the trait of the person playing out the solitaire.”
