301. Inimkonna ajalugu jaguneb matriarhaadiks, patriarhaadiks ja
sekretariaadiks ||| История человечества подразделяется на матриархат,

Secretariat has become an omnipotent device in the hands of the Leader, and
Bukharin’s joke in 1921, that “the history of humanity is divided into three great
periods: the matriarchate, the patriarchate and the secretariat”, is no longer a joke.
It is a rude reality, consummated by a rude and disloyal General Secretary.
