But, as in every army, the soldier obeys blindly, and the war aims and operating plans change without his knowledge.

Formerly no one was allowed to think freely; now it is permitted, but no one is capable of it any more. Now people want to think only what they are supposed to want to think, and this they consider freedom.»
