And the absurd thing about it is that you have repeated these phrases so often that you believe them.

You want opportunity to plunder your fellow-men in your own small way, but you hypnotize yourselves into thinking you want freedom.

You are piggish and acquisitive, but the magic of your phrases leads you to believe that you are patriotic.

Your desire for profits, which is sheer selfishness, you metamorphose into altruistic solicitude for suffering humanity.

Come on now, right here amongst ourselves, and be honest for once.
