« Again, frankness was in order: we must infuse people with a "philosophy of futility" and ensure that they are interested exclusively in "the superficial things of life, the fashion effects of consumerism". They must seek to satisfy so-called "imaginary needs." We create these needs and then get them to focus on them. That's what they're sure to do, they won't bother us anymore. »

« Any service we want to privatize, we will try first to untank it so that people will exclaim: we want to get rid of it! It's not working! So, for starters, you put the dog in it. Then you get popular support to cede it to the private sector. That is why public education is very under-subsidized. Teachers don't get paid enough. The resources are bad. »
