The masters of mankind

About the book Masters of the Human Race - Noam Chomsky: Chomsky knows well the limits of the capabilities of leaders and their advisors, and he does not hide what their speech style conceals of arrogance and bad intentions. It does not matter if these officials are elected or appointed, or hold a position due to family privilege or the advantage their wealth grants them, nor whether they have an educational level that benefits the ruling elite. He is well aware that those in power, who are considered a minority, do not rule as managers of others' affairs, but work for their own interests. They also keep in mind the possibility of destroying democracy if it turns out to transcend the metaphorical concept of the fig leaf, if it attempts to redistribute economic and political power according to the ideological concepts outlined by Adam Smith and Thomas Paine, or if its goal is to abandon imperialism; there is a direct line between anti-democratic elites and the establishment of secret organizations like the CIA. They know and do things that democracy will not begin to comprehend or accept until propaganda succeeds in hypnotizing it. The history of American struggle against elitism is of course documented in the constitution and the Declaration of Independence. Nevertheless, the electoral society, the establishment of secret agencies, and the selection of two advisors in each state are good examples that confirm the fear of the people.
