Always Remember The First Rule Of Power

Asking A Sociologist To Solve A Problem Is Like Prescribing An Enema For Diarrhea.

The Seventh Rule Of The Ethics Of Means And Ends Is That Generally Success Or Failure Is A Mighty Determinant Of Ethics. The Judgment Of History Leans Heavily On The Outcome Of Success Or Failure; It Spells The Difference Between The Traitor And The Patriotic Hero. There Can Be No Such Thing As A Successful Traitor, For If One Succeeds He Becomes A Founding Father.

The Most Effective Means Are Whatever Will Achieve The Desired Results.

Radicals, On The Other Hand, Want To Advance From The Jungle Of Laissez-faire Capitalism To A World Worthy Of The Name Of Human Civilization. They Hope For A Future Where The Means Of Economic Production Will Be Owned By All Of The People Instead Of Just A Comparative Handful. They Feel That This Minority Control Of Production Facilities Is Injurious To The Large Masses Of People Not Only Because Of Economic Monopolies But Because The Political Power Inherent In This Form Of Centralized Economy Does Not Augur For An Ever Expanding Democratic Way Of Life.

The End Is What You Want And The Means Is How You Get It.
