Aldous Huxley: Quote for October 18, 2008

A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude. To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and schoolteachers.
Today this task has become much easier because of the widespread use of technology including radio, television, and the Internet.
