A quote loosely attributed to Aldous Huxley, but contested here.

“The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of democracy, a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not dream of escape. A system of slavery where, through consumption and entertainment, slaves would love their servitude.”

I interpret this as pro-socialist, but it seems it has roots in anti-communism? Food for thought nonetheless

    I agree. Sometimes I have harsh moments that feel akin to de-realising. I see people address the same concerns, but instead of attacking legislators or the system that allowed it to prosper in the first place, people often attack eachother instead. The distinction between opinion, race, gender identity or religion seems to take precedence over class-wide fraternity.

    Thanks for sharing.
