1. I had that as my sig line once...
some more:
A sincere diplomat is like dry water or wooden iron.

One death is a tragedy; a million is a statistic.

When we hang the capitalists they will sell us the rope we use.

2. Not surprising
Just the illusion of democracy is probably sufficient to keep the people passive. It takes more effort to simply take away their freedom and bludgeon them into submission than to give them a choice, a choice with the same conclusion.

That's what separates the corporatists of Nazi Germany and the corporatists of the US. Our corporatists use tactics that are more refined.
