Comrades,

An update from the Newspeak dictionary version 2.1, as approved by our masters in the hollowed out mountain at Davos:

Recession: "a fall in GDP in two successive quarters   1. doubleplusungoodgrowth 2. a divine unrest in the Economy as revealed to the augurs of the treasury department by carefully examining the entrails of a sacrificial goat on the altar of Moloch in the catacombs of the White House".

Janet Yellen assures us that the goats entrails are "fresh and moist, just like the president, full of juice and energy".

There you have it. No recession. Now move along and stop spreading fake memories. Also throw all texts about macroeconomics you may have in the nearest memory hole, you thoughtcriminal.
 

Pretty soon you crazy commies are going to define a booming economy as two or more quarters of falling GDP.

It’s the consistency of the struggle that makes a good communist.

Learning to struggle for what was taken for granted in a capitalist supply chain system will make us better communists.
