". . .   results of this extermination drive were felt soon enough. The whole campaign had been initiated in the first place by some bigwig of the Party who had decided that the sparrows were devouring too large a part of the harvests… Soon enough, however, it was realized that although the sparrows did consume grain, they also destroyed many harmful insects which, left alive, inflicted far worse damage on the crops than did the birds.

Eventually, some loop spins out of control, and the system kicks back

Death to theocracy

 There is no savior here, no crown, no Supreme Leader or prince to come from the outside and set the direction. Real power is in the bare hands of women, youth, workers, and the marginalized, who have risen up against all structures of oppression without intermediaries, without a pre-written program.
