I'm not familar with this " Borg (the poster-guy) ",
who is he ?

Also the diabolical big mother thing reminds of
the state, of course, but "dialectical materialism"
means nothing to me. I guess it's mostly the
dialectical word, but will you explain the meaning
of the whole idea please ?

Words like 'dialectical' seem to turn me off to
whatever the speaker is saying, usually. Do we
really need all these big words to communicate
ideas ?

I tend to think that if it can't be explained in
very simple terms, that almost anyone can understand,
then either the speaker does not really understand,
or the idea is fundamentally fraudulent in essence.
