Our power does not know liberty or justice. It is established on the destruction of the individual will.
If we can effectively kill the national pride and patriotism of just one generation, we will have won that country. Therefore, there must be continued propaganda abroad to undermine the loyalty of citizens in general, and teenagers in particular. By making drugs of various kinds readily available, by creating the necessary attitude of chaos, idleness and worthlessness, and by preparing him psychologically and politically, we can succeed.
Fascism is capitalism in decay.
When it comes to hang the capitalists they will compete with each other to sell us the rope at a lower price.
