Thomas Paine. Inspirational , Life , Motivational. This sub-manager can be ordered around by General Motors — if it wishes to order him around — to a fairly considerable extent, even in regard to his private life.
The radius of his interests is not so large that he needs to exert power over the whole radius of their interests. Stronger than the Guillotine. A witness who knew something about this has warned us.
This significant statement is in Peasants and Workers. Why mince words when one wants to speak frankly? Once in possession of this power, it can decapitate all the liberties of a country within a very short time. Let me repeat that in order to achieve this result it hardly needs to violate any laws, for no law can ever prescribe when an employer should find an employee satisfactory and when he can find him unsatisfactory.
It is difficult for the human mind to imagine things which it has not seen. As a rule, those who have never witnessed it, always remain too innocent about it. They think of the conditions to which they are accustomed. A Right Unexercised. What a delusion! Everything can change. The right to speak against the state is of no value if no one dares exercise it. The blood which is still flowing through its old veins will be poisoned by fear. The body will no longer move, but will be moved.
And once things have gone thus far, there will be no obstacle to transforming at will even the nominally subsisting institutions and mechanisms, the constitutions, bills of rights, and laws. Freedom will be lost. It will be composed of people whom I know, who all their lives have fought for the cause of the people and for freedom.
I can entrust my welfare to them without fear. This is an assumption which the optimists, whether they know it or not, simply cannot do without.
The leaders think: "I will be the government," and that settles the matter as far as they are concerned. Even what is in the minds of those who have fought all their lives for the cause of freedom is, in reality, never quite clear.
And even aside from this, hardly any government has ever refrained from using the full measure of power it had. When difficult situations and crises arise, when opposition threatens, every government goes to the extreme limit of its actual power. Is It Worth the Price? Are any economic advantages worth this dreadful price? Even if the economic hopes of socialism came true, would this compensate us for the loss of freedom?
Would it compensate even for the loss of part of our freedom? The genuine socialists of the Marxian school were at least clear in this respect. They declared roundly that what we call freedom did not interest them. Their minds were quite made up that a dictatorship was to rule. These socialists, too, believed that dictatorship would disappear some day. Elaine 0 books view quotes. Mar 09, PM.
