These people fell for the fantastical glorious world of next Tuesday promoted by Star Trek. In Star Trek, everyone is happily working, for no pay, with everything they need supplied by the generous “federation.” All cultures and races live in harmony, illness is cured by the wave of a magic wand, and kind and caring bureaucrats always make the right decisions. No one owns anything and they are all happy.
These tyrants believe they can create that if only they had enough power. THIS TIME they’ll do it right. Sure 100s of millions were murdered by their own governments but it takes a little time to create the perfect world.
Schwab is "Arthur Jensen" from "Network"....
"And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that perfect world in which there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality -- one vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock, all necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused."
A just machine
To make big decisions
Programmed by fellas
With compassion and vision
We'll be clean when their work is done
We'll be eternally free, yes, and eternally young.
What a beautiful world this will be
What a glorious time to be free
