From George Orwell's 1984, published in 1949 -
"The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power.
Power is not a means; it is an end.
Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.
To die hating them, that was freedom.
War is peace
Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength.”
Are we there yet? ☹️
