"Today, the liberal régimes of the West are characterized by a large privileged caste, agents of financial groups, who control all the political, administrative, and economic levers, and are united by their close complicity.

They can rely on a gigantic administrative apparatus that rigorously manages the population, especially through the social services.

They hold a monopoly of political power and economic power. They control most of the media and are the masters of thought. They are defended with the favor of vast police forces.

They have transformed the citizens into docile sheep. Only fictitious oppositions are tolerated."
