Text version.

By means of ever more effective methods of mind-manipulation, the democracies will change their nature; the quaint old forms - elections, parliaments, Supreme Courts and all the rest - will remain. The underlying substance will be a new kind of non-violent totalitarianism. All the traditional names, all the hallowed slogans will remain exactly what they were in the good old days. Democracy and freedom will be the theme of every broadcast and editorial - but democracy and freedom in a strictly Pickwickian sense. Meanwhile the ruling oligarchy and its highly trained elite of soldiers, policemen, thought- manufacturers and mind-manipulators will quietly run the show as they see fit.

That is the equivalent of saying dog shit is better then cat shit. Both are shit. I want neither.

It's almost as if you ignored the words in my comment and responded to some other nonsense, entirely.
