Feudalism Quotes – Insights on Historical Social Order

"All princes and other persons of rank and name must be compelled by all means to listen to us and feel secure in doing so. By this approach, they all become our creatures, and no one will dare to offer the slightest resistance to our society... Ultimately, our society must ensure that every prince is either gracious to us or otherwise in our power, so that everyone who does not love us at least fears us."

Ignatius von Loyola

"The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation."

Vladimir Lenin

"Tyrants must ensure that the people are poor, busy, lonely, distrustful, highly taxed, distracted by trivia, spied on, and at war."

Aristoteles

"A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude."

Aldous Huxley

"Real power is achieved when the ruling class controls the material essentials of life, granting and withholding them from the masses as if they were privileges."

George Orwell

"Justice always involves two sides: the one who pays for it and the one who gets it."

Ursula von der Leyen

"If the first half of the twentieth century was the era of the technical engineers, the second half may well be the era of the social engineers — and the twenty-first century, I suppose, will be the era of World Controllers, the scientific caste system and Brave New World. [....] The older dictators fell because they could never supply their subjects with enough bread, enough circuses, enough miracles, and mysteries. Under a scientific dictatorship, education will really work' with the result that most men and women will grow up to love their servitude and will never dream of revolution. There seems to be no good reason why a thoroughly scientific dictatorship should ever be overthrown."

Aldous Huxley

"Happy slaves are the bitterest enemies of freedom."

Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

"They govern us through fear."

José Luis Sampedro Sáez

"He who tells the stories rules the society."

Platon

"Socialism is: The taking of money (taxes) from some people who work for it and giving it to others who don't work for it. On a grand scale. The vast expansion of freebies doled out by central government. In order to create and sustain dependence. The government protection of favored persons and corporations, permitting them and aiding them to expand their fortunes without limit, regardless of what crimes they commit in the process. (Monsanto would be a fine example.) The squeezing out of those who would compete with the favored persons and corporations. The dictatorship by and for the very wealthy, pretending to be the servant of the masses. The lie that the dictatorship is being run by the masses. The gradual lowering of the standard of living for the overwhelming number of people. The propaganda claiming socialism is the path to a better world for all. In other words, socialism is a protection racket and a long con and a heartless system of elite control, posing as the greatest good. It is just another form of top-down tyranny---as old as the hills."

Jon Rappoport

"Right here and right now Ben's gonna a little sad tale To all you people out there Satan is my master He has always been He tells me what to do He buys my Metallica records for me And sometimes I think Thank you very much Satan is my master"

Justin Timberlake

"The slave does not want to be free. He wants to become a slave driver."

Gabriel Laub

"Until you could make out practically that great work, a combination of opposing forces, "a work of labour long, and endless praise," the utmost caution ought to have been used in the reduction of the royal power, which alone was capable of holding together the comparatively heterogeneous mass of your states. But at this day, all these considerations are unreasonable. To what end should we discuss the limitations of royal power? Your king is in prison. Why speculate on the measure and standard of liberty? I doubt much, very much indeed, whether France is at all ripe for liberty on any standard. Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites, — in proportion as their love to justice is above their rapacity, — in proportion as their soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and presumption, — in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves. Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters."

Edmund Burke

"Feminism is a muddled idea that women are free when they serve their employers but slaves when they help their husbands."

Gilbert Keith Chesterton

"Ordinary men and women are too small-minded to govern their own affairs, that order and progress can only come when individuals surrender their rights to an all-powerful sovereign."

Barack Hussein Obama II

"The herd has absolutely no desire to destroy the master who holds the whip. The herd only wants a new master who will finally whip the people they hate."

Friedrich Nietzsche

"Sometimes, you can actually hear the clanking of the chains when someone speaks."
