“The first principle of the exploitive mind is to divide and conquer.
And surely there has never been a people more ominously and painfully
divided than we are—both against each other and within ourselves. Once
the revolution of exploitation is under way, statesmanship and
craftsmanship are gradually replaced by salesmanship. Its stock in trade
in politics is to sell despotism and avarice as freedom and democracy.”
