34:00 min into the Douglas Murray video:
You just can’t improve on what George Orwell said when he
met a fanatic of a similar ilk.
One of my favorite stories of him was him debating with a
Stalinist in the 1940s after the Ukraine famine, after the Show Trials, after
1937, after 1938, this is when you already knew everything you needed to know
about comrade Stalin and Orwell is debating with this Stalinist and he concedes
this, well yes, the trials and he goes on and on just refusing really to deal
with every single one of the issues that have already come up and eventually says
that great immortal getout for cowards across the centuries -
“ you can’t make an omelet
without breaking eggs” and George
Orwell says to the Stalinist: “Where’s
the omelet?”
