Leaders: Take Away The Leaders:
"To start with here is an educational bombshell: Take from all of today’s industrial nations all their industrial machinery and all their energy-distributing networks and leave them all their ideologies, all their political leaders, and all their political organizations, and I can tell you that within six months two billion people will die, having gone through great pain and deprivation along the way.
"However, if we leave the industrial machinery and their energy-distribution networks and leave them also the people who have routine jobs operating the industrial machinery and distributing its products, and we take away from all the industrial countries all their ideologies and all their politicians and political machine workers, people would keep right on eating. Possibly getting on a little better than before.
“The fact is that now-- for the first time in the history of man for the last ten years, all the political theories and all the concepts of political functions-- in any other than secondary roles as housekeeping organizations-- are completely obsolete. All of them were developed on the you-or-me basis. This whole realization that mankind can and may be comprehensively successful is startling.” – Cite WORLD GAME (2), 1967
