Has anyone else read the book of Laughter and Forgetting by Milan Kundera? In the first paragraphs he explains how Stalins government kept airbrushing people out of a photo of a group of people taken at the Kremlin as they were one by one dispatched from their positions as ministers. The last person remaining was Stalin himself….. Here is a government determined to do the same…airbrushing out of history its inconvenient past, restricting media access to any knowledge of refugee boats and only encouraging media outlets if they tow the party line… In what way does this spell democracy as we know it?
