The State has encouraged us to develop expectations of other people, and promised to compel the fulfillment of those expectations. It has persuaded us that others are the cause of our failures, and that others should be responsible for our happiness and well-being.

It has pandered to our worst fears about ourselves and others, concocting bogeymen and perilous threats from which it has promised protection. (en) |
