"The majority must resign itself to the consumption of fantasy. Illusions of wealth are sold to the poor, illusions of freedom to the oppressed, dreams of victory to the defeated and of power to the weak." --Eduardo Galeano
"The problem [is different]...for those expected to take part in serious decision-making and control: the business, state, and cultural manager, and articulate sectors generally. They must internalize the values of the system and share the necessary illusions that permit it to function in the interests of concentrated power and privilege--or at least be cynical enough to pretend that they do." --Noam Chomsky
(Sigh)
