I think deep down DUmmies know they are screwed. They know their twists and turns of logic are just lies, but their whole world is built upon a foundation of lies. They have no surety of purpose, no rock of honor. Even in victory they writhe in anguish and uncertainty. Now all they can do is utter lies to each other, vainly hoping to be able to sleep at night.
But in the dark, they are each alone. Sleep will not come. In their minds eye they see the coming doom, the utter failure of their socialist dream. DUmmies know it will all collapse. But they bitterly cling to socialism, it's lies are all they have.
