You propose to establish a social order based on the following tenets: that
you’re incompetent to run your own life, but competent to run the lives of
others—that you’re unfit to exist in freedom, but fit to become an omnipotent
ruler—that you’re unable to earn your living by the use of your own
intelligence, but able to judge politicians and to vote them into jobs of total
power over arts you have never seen, over sciences you have never studied, over
achievements of which you have no knowledge, over the gigantic industries where
you, by your own definition of your capacity, would be unable successfully to
fill the job of assistant greaser.
