Ideology and Literature: Hawthorne’s Blithedale Romance (1852) and Dick’s VALIS (1981)

Almost all Western governments now exhibit certain common, antinomian traits. They pontificate ceaselessly.

Judaism and Christianity irritate them and they seek to repress the symbols of those faiths while making common cause with dubious faiths hostile to Judaism and Christianity.
