balls of his feet while maintaining a firm arm and upright stance as he gently pressed against Thatcher’s hands to direct her every move. The infatuation they had for each other, the tension that had built up between them over the years, was spilling out into their dance routine. It was strong, sensual, and passionate. They were lost in each other, suspending all inhibitions, forgetting their surroundings, taking notice of no one but each other. They were oblivious to the applause and cheers at the end. They just stared at each other, deeply into each other’s eyes, wishing the night would not end. But it did.

The Year: 2032
President Burton was sitting in the Oval Office waiting for his Chief of Staff along with the directors of the NSA and CIA to update him on Project Renaissance. He stared at the painting proudly displayed for all to see. He knew when he had the famous Soviet artist Viktor Koretsky’s piece displayed in the White House, the Liberty Party would go ballistic. It wasn’t just any painting. It was one that mocked two timeless American symbols—the Statue of Liberty and the American flag. He started to grin, almost laughing, at his plan. The painting ignited a debate within the country about him as President. Was he a Communist sympathizer? Let them argue, while I move ahead with my plans. Keep them distracted , he thought.
He glanced down at his desk, looking at the photo of him standing between his parents. He was only five years old and proudly holding the Communist Manifesto . At that age, he had no idea what the book symbolized, but his parents did. He sighed. They were happy. He missed them. But that was the past, and Communism was his parents’ fight, not his. He learned well from his parents, though. He understood the importance of diverting the people’s attention from the true agenda. The painting on the wall was serving that purpose. Let everyone think the first openly progressive President of the United States to be elected to office was striving toward Soviet-style Communism. He, of course, had much bigger plans, not only for his country, but for the world.
He sat there looking around the Oval Office. He still had to pinch himself to make sure this wasn’t a dream. Being President of the United States was hard enough to comprehend, but the fact that he ran openly as a man who wanted more government, not less, and won the election in a landslide was almost unfathomable. He figured being Vice President during the Middle Eastern War gave Americans the impression he was a strong leader. By the time he ran for the presidency, the economy was still in a free fall. The War didn’t turn it around as everyone had expected. Close to seventy percent of Americans were on government assistance, completely dependent on the thirty percent of Americans who still worked. The new Liberty Party didn’t have a chance—they ran on the platform of good work ethic, capitalism, and independence.
Growing up in the 1970s and 80s, at the height of the Cold War, East versus West, and Capitalism versus Communism, the President never thought he would ever see such a dramatic shift in political philosophy in his lifetime. His parents, hard-core Communists who surrounded themselves with like-minded people, taught their son to be patient in achieving the overall plan. The Communist revolution in America was to be silent, slow, and progressive in stark contrast to the violent Communist Revolution of Russia in 1917. Unknown to most Americans, the Communist takeover of America had been going on since the early twentieth century. American Communists decided to take a methodical, progressive approach by infiltrating the media, universities, politics, and regulatory agencies and slowly introducing their agenda one generation at a time. They predicted it would take close to one hundred years. President Burton was the culmination of their long and tireless efforts. Americans were so busy celebrating the fall of the
