“I have really seen the best in people and I've absolutely seen the worst in people.

“The general election of 1983 has produced one important result that has passed virtually without comment in the media. It is that, for the first time since 1945, a political party with an openly socialist policy has received the support of over eight and a half million people. This is a remarkable development by any standards and it deserves some analysis ... the 1983 Labour manifesto commanded the loyalty of millions of voters and a democratic socialist bridge-head in public understanding and support can be made.” PeopleFirstsMadeImportantPoliticalUnderstandingResultsPartyHalfMillionsSupportMediaPolicyDevelopmentStandardsDeserveFirst TimeElectionDemocraticEightLoyaltyBridgesAnalysisLabourRemarkableVotersCommentSocialistPolitical PartiesManifestosGeneral Elections Author:Tony Benn
“It is a truism, of course, that in "democratic" states the populace must be encouraged to imagine that it makes important decisions by voting, and must therefore be controlled by suitable propaganda, which implants ideas to which the voters respond as automatically as trained animals respond to words of command in a circus, thus leaving to the masses only a factitious choice between Tweedledum and Tweedledee on the basis of their preference for a certain kind of oratory, a hair-style, or a particular facial expression.” KindImportantIdeasStatesCertainChoicesCoursesDecisionAnimalImagineStyleParticularExpressionHairMassBasesDemocraticLeavingCommandPropagandaVotingControlledVotersImagine ThatPreferenceCircusSuitableFacialOratoryBe EncouragedImportant DecisionsImplantsTruismFacial Expression Author:Revilo P.
