Metaphor
"If we do not kill these zombie ideas once and for all, they will do even more damage next time."
Metaphor in Context
The ideas that caused the crisis and were, at least briefly, laid to rest by it are already reviving and clawing their way through up the soft earth. If we do not kill these zombie ideas once and for all, they will do even more damage next time.
