Today we have a new audio book release, this time from Edward Bernays with his 1928 work "Propaganda". Download the audio here.
There is a lot to learn about progressivism in this book. Among other things (prior post on this) Bernays believed the following items which were captions on a newer reprint cover:
As civilization has become more complex, and as the need for invisible government has been increasingly demonstrated, the technical means have been invented and developed by which opinion may be regimented(Page 39)Nowadays the successors of the rulers, those whose position or ability gives them power, can no longer do what they want without the approval of the masses, they find in propaganda a tool which is increasingly powerful in gaining that approval(Page 54)
Democracy is administered by the intelligent minority who know how to regiment and guide the masses(Page 127)
Democracy is administered by the intelligent minority. The "experts". That's the arrogance of progressivism. They can't just leave us alone. Ok, then we need to study these moonbats so we can defend ourselves against their machinations. My guiding principle since day one, this has never changed going all the way back to 2010:
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle - Sun Tzu (Art of War, Chapter 3)

Great post.
Thanks for this.
Wow...written by Hitlery’s mentor!
Goebbels read this book.
“Propaganda is the executive arm of the invisible government”
Real quote. It checks out. Page 20, bottom of paragraph 1.
Or, if preferred, audio file #2/Chapter 2 The New Propaganda.
I applaud your work in making these older works accessible. People have to know how slowly, stealthily, duplicitously and relentlessly the left has always operated since the formation of the Socialist International over 100 years ago.
The leftist’s concept of “democracy” is that the leftist elites brainwash the masses through propaganda combined with de facto censorship and then the masses vote for the leftist agenda.
