The Possessed

CHAPTER VII
33/48

One-tenth enjoys absolute liberty and unbounded power over the other nine-tenths.

The others have to give up all individuality and become, so to speak, a herd, and, through boundless submission, will by a series of regenerations attain primaeval innocence, something like the Garden of Eden.

They'll have to work, however.

The measures proposed by the author for depriving nine-tenths of mankind of their freedom and transforming them into a herd through the education of whole generations are very remarkable, founded on the facts of nature and highly logical.

One may not agree with some of the deductions, but it would be difficult to doubt the intelligence and knowledge of the author.
