CARL
Carl’s great disciples“I” not really “I” at all
Chapter 10
And just supposing that the day comes when a lot of people start to doubt that you were right about everything,
2That’s okay too,
3Because they’ll all come to wbelieve the most important parts,
4xNamely, that nobody’s any better than anyone else,
5yEspecially since the industrial nations are going to blow everything up,
6zAnd that capitalism is a selfish, heartless economic system that only helps the rich,
7aaAnd that the best decisions are made by very large groups of Average People in great big meeting rooms,
8bbAnd that the masses are somehow wiser,
9ccAnd nobler,
10ddAnd more peaceful than the rest of us,
11eeAs long as they get to hear the truth often enough to understand it.
12ffAnd most important of all, people in all walks of life will come to believe that the only real virtue is need,
13ggAnd that the only natural right is the right of the powerless to take what they want from whoever has it.
