" Free Thought and Official Propaganda " by Bertrand Russell : " ... it is not desired that ordinary people should think for themselves ... "

 

British philosopher Bertrand Russell opposed the First World War with a torrent of brilliant anti-war eloquence .What he wrote about state propaganda applies to American society today with the mainstream news media telling BIG LIES about the Russia- Ukraine war hour by hour . Naturally VIRTUE here is all on the side of Joe Biden and the American militarists !
[ " ... it is not desired that ordinary people should think for themselves, because it is felt that people who think for themselves are awkward to manage and cause administrative difficulties. Only the guardians, in Plato’s language, are to think; the rest are to obey, or to follow leaders like a herd of sheep. This doctrine, often unconsciously, has survived the introduction of political democracy, and has radically vitiated all national systems of education. "]
