Aldous Huxley foresaw the methods of the far right power grabbers whose methods are increasingly adopted by Tories and Republicans

"By means of ever more effective methods of mind-manipulation, the democracies will change their nature; the quaint old forms -- elections, parliaments, Supreme Courts and all the rest -- will remain. The underlying substance will be a new kind of totalitarianism. All the traditional names, all the hallowed slogans will remain exactly what they were in the good old days. Democracy and freedom will be the theme of every broadcast and editorial. Meanwhile the ruling oligarchy and its highly trained elite of soldiers, policemen, thought-manufacturers and mind-manipulators will quietly run the show as they see fit." Aldous Huxley

    @breadandcircuses @CheRosach yes to some extent, and on the basis that all power corrupts. But it is much more evident in UK Tories and US republicans.
