The Goal Of Modern Propaganda

There Are Different Forms Of Anarchy And Different Currents In It. I Must, First Say Very Simply What Anarchy I Have In View. By Anarchy I Mean First An Absolute Rejection Of Violence.

Science Brings To The Light Of Day Everything Man Had Believed Sacred. Technique Takes Possession Of It And Enslaves It.

The Aim Of Modern Propaganda Is No Longer To Modify Ideas, But To Provoke Action.

The Most Favorable Moment To Seize A Man And Influence Him Is When He Is Alone In The Mass. It Is At This Point That Propaganda Can Be Most Effective.

I Believe That The Biblical Teaching Is Clear. It Always Contests Political Power. It Incites To "counterpower," To "positive" Criticism, To An Irreducible Dialogue (like That Between King And Prophet In Israel), To Antistatism, To A Decentralizing Of The Relation, To An Extreme Relativizing Of Everything Political, To An Anti-ideology, To A Questioning Of All That Claims Either Power Or Dominion (in Other Words, Of All Things Political), And Finally, If We May Use A Modern Term, To A Kind Of "anarchism" (so Long As We Do Not Relate The Term To The Anarchist Teaching Of The Nineteenth Century).
